Saddest Events In United States History
People who make jokes about this event are cruel individuals who want to become psychopaths.
Yes, 3,000 lives were lost due to terrorists destroying the Twin Towers.
My god, this was the saddest. I practically cry even when I think about it.
JFK was a great President. If he hadn't been assassinated, many terrible events could have been prevented.
He was just watching a play at a theater, and then someone killed him because the Confederacy surrendered?
The Roaring '20s was the reason this happened.
It ruined the lives of countless Africans, gave us gruesome stories about the cruelty of the slave-masters, started a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people, and made racism a staple of American culture even after it officially ended.
By far the saddest series of events in American history.
Very sad when compared to 9/11 or the JFK assassination.
The Newcomers
This should be in the top 5. The number of deaths has been horrifying.
This was sadder than Sandy Hook. Sandy Hook shouldn't be in the top 10.
Martin Luther King didn't deserve to die. He was just a person who wanted freedom.
Just looking at the pictures of the kids makes me want to cry. Considering they died scared, I hope they're in a better place now. I'm sad their lives were cut short so suddenly.
Poor kids. I would sacrifice my life to save them and ensure they made it out of the school on time.
This is the saddest event in my eyes. These kids had so much to live for.
This led to the start of the Great Depression.
This should rank higher than Sandy Hook. It was the deadliest shooting in U.S. history.
How can the "Trail of Tears" not be in the top 5? And why are assassinations considered sadder moments than the enslavement of an entire race of people and the death of half a million Americans in the Civil War?
Why is Sandy Hook higher than this? Is it solely because it's little kids that makes it somehow sadder? Columbine walked so Sandy Hook could run! Adam Lanza had an obsession with Columbine and probably wouldn't have done the Sandy Hook shooting if Columbine and similar events hadn't occurred!
This is when two bullied teenagers chose to go on a rampage in their school, killing 13 people and setting bombs in the cafeteria to kill everyone inside.
