I think only the civil war and the immediate lead-in to that is clearly worse than what we have now.
Slave revolts in the 1830s or so,
Underground Railroad,
Reconstruction,
KKK,
Lynchings of 1950s,
Race riots of 1960s,
Vietnam War,
Kennedy's assassinated,
LA Race riots of 1980-90s,
Bensonhurst race riots,
Occupy Wall Street.

America has ALWAYS been very divided. The only time this country seems to come together is when some shared tragedy or huge war distracts us all.
The only reason why all of this recent stuff seems really bad is because of social media, technology, and increased accessibility to guns.
