Worst Moments In U.S. History

The Top Ten
1 Slavery

I don't know why, but the idea of subjecting an entire race to abuse and servitude just seems horrible to me! I wOnDeR wHy?

Uh-hu I've read this disaster one time, kinda awkward for some reasons but yeah, it's a lot worse than 11th September 2001...

Went on until 1865, and the effects are still around today.

Slavery was a lot worse than 9/11

2 9/11

This was just horrific

3 The Trail of Tears
4 Civil War

Civil war happened because of the slavery, killing their on blood

5 Attack on Pearl Harbor

Top 5. Dragged us into a war, which turned ya into a superpower

Pearl Harbor should be in the top 5

6 The Dred Scott Decision
7 Assassination of Abraham Lincoln
8 Bay of Pigs
9 Vietnam War
10 The Stock Market Crash

The stock market crashes all the time, but Herbert Hoover’s Socialist policies made it way worse.

The Contenders
11 White House Burned During the War of 1812

Canadians were British. We the Brits thought you stupid Yanks what happens when you mess* with the British and Canadians. You will get your ass whopped. Americans love attention. The government and ignorant people. 63% of Americans are obese. The further south you get the more brainwashed. While less than 40% of Canadians are obese. USA fat country. Can't even find a proper name so they steal the continent's name.

Ah, I cry tears of joy, imaging the black rubble. Ain't no White House no more.

We should never have invaded Canada. We had our asses well and truly whupped.

12 Interment Camps
13 The Battle of Antietam
14 Dropping of the Bomb

Don't really get why people find this a bad moment in history. True, nuclear weapons are bad, but I understand why they have them. They create violence, but, at the same time, they create peace. For example, if there is a county and you dislike it, wouldn't you attack it? But if the county has hundreds of nukes, don't you have second thoughts about attacking them? True, lots of lives were lost due to us nuking Japan, but a LOT more would have been lost if we did not drop the bomb, and the war continued even longer. I do not find this a bad moment in history, even though it is pretty sad.

15 Coronavirus Outbreak
16 2021 Storming of the United States Capitol
17 The Election of Donald J. Trump
18 Iraq
19 The Murder of Osama bin Laden

You must be a terrorist! He was a evil man who was behind 9/11 and hundreds of people died because of him. Get this off the list!

How is this bad? A terrorist gets what a terrorist deserves: death.

20 Columbine High School Massacre
21 Korea
22 Jim Crow Laws Being Passed by Congress
23 Bleeding Kansas

This was very hypocritical, actually. About 20 years before Bleeding Kansas, anti-slavery settlers from Cleveland and somewhere east of Rochester moved to Missouri, which was a slave state. The loudest sound in history was Lilburn Boggs screaming like Keemstar at these “border ruffians”. What a loser.

Well, the same Missourians went into Kansas to influence their voting. I guess it’s fine when the pro-slavery people do it, but not the good abolitionists.

24 Roe v Wade Overturned
25 War of the Worlds Panic, 1938
