Well, Yeah. 3,000 lives were lost because of terrorists destroying the Twin Towers. - JoeBoi

The best USA president,actually,is the only good one.

JFK was a great President. If he wasn’t assassinated, many terrible events would have been prevented. - JoeBoi

He was just watching a play at a theater and then someone killed him because the Confederacy surrendered? - JoeBoi

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, made racism a staple of American culture even after it officially ended.

By far the saddest series of events in American history. - ThePenguin227

Very sad when compared to 9/11 or JFK assassination.

This was sadder than sandy hook sandy hook should not be in the top 10

When I found out about this I was so furious that I destroyed the whole entire house and then burned it down out of anger and then I was grounded for an entire year. So if that shooting didn't even happen, I would have never been grounded for a year. (That story is made up) - DrayTopTens
