Ten Worst Moments in US History

The good folks at List Universe had another...LIST!! This time, on November 28th, they had one about the Ten Worst Moments in US History. I wasn't sure if it involved things that happened to the US that were bad or things we had done for which we should be ashamed or, perhaps both.

As usual, a picture along with a caption accompanied each one.

And, here we go:


1. Trail of Tears (1838)

2. Dred Scott Decision (1857)

3. Battle of Antietam (1862)

4. Stock Market Crash (1929)

5. Internment Camps (1942)

6. Dropping the Bomb (1945)

7. Bay of Pigs (1961)

8. Vietnam (1960s-1970s)

9. 9/11 (2001)

10. Iraq (2003)

Guaranteed to start an argument.

And, I can think of others as well.

Six and Seven don't belong on this list. Six saved perhaps a million Japanese and American lives. Seven is a minor event. The Dred Scott decision helped precipitate the Civil War. Millions of northerners began to see slavery as a moral issues far above a legal one. It should rank higher

I definitely agree with you on dropping the bomb.

US involvement in the Bay of Pigs was nothing to be proud of.
