Personally going with 1968. Tragedy after tragedy and its effects can still be felt to this day.

Sometime between 1861-1865, when the Civil War was taking place.

2008, the great recession, we're still feeling the effects of that perfect storm of greed to this day. Inflated housing prices, and poverty are at a all time high, most people are living paycheck to paycheck, debt is at a all time high.

As this country is now the next depression is going to f*** this country up harder then anything we've ever seen before.

1861. Civil war, guys. Pretty big deal. It was probably inevitable anyway but thats the year it happened.

Best year is 1803. Louisiana purchase.

I want to go with 2008. The dot-com bubble's effects were still rippling through the country in the form of Enron's massive fraud, and it resulted in an economic crash that was touted as the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression. The post-9/11 mindset had been entrenched in the culture for seven years at this point, though if nothing else the scars were beginning to heal. It was a momentous year with Barack Obama's election as the President, which I genuinely regard as one of the higher points of the 2000's after the shit show that was George W Bush - but for my 13 year old chud ass over in Australia, thousands of miles across the ocean, the world had never felt more uncertain.

2008 has been the only year in my entire life that feels like it ended on a cliffhanger. 2009 could have destroyed everything I ever knew - if our government didn't pull some sick maneuvers to get us out of the GFC, my family could have been one of the lower income families who would have really suffered from a financial crash. There was a new president, but he was unproven - could he fix everything, or were things destined to spiral further out of control? We're still at war in the Middle East, how are we gonna get out of that?

I'm sure that there have been worse years in American history for human suffering, but in my lifetime, 2008 was the year that felt like everything hung in the balance. For a lot of people, that might have been 2001 - but I was 6 years old and I didn't really grasp the reality of the situation until I was older. I was cognisant in 2008, and for all I know, everything was going to go down the shitter.

Slavery and the civil war is the worst era in American history, but itd be hard to narrow it down to one specific year to say that is worse than any other imo.

Ill admit recency bias plays a role here, but Ill have to agree with 2016. History will look back on this year as the year America started to break at its foundation and started its slide into no longer being a world power. The economy no longer works for the average person and the wealth gap only exponentially widens. Our government is broken at its core and the whims of the uneducated rule over the needs of the many. Its never been more clear.

All that Obama did to protect us from another 2008, Trump reversed it in his first few months in office. I think that gets forgotten. History most definitely will repeat itself because the rich manipulate the dumb and stack the deck in their own favor, and the dumb don't realize it. The dumb I'm referring to is republicans.

1819.

William Thompson fell off of his horse and became paelralyzed. He was on his way to negotiate a treaty between Texas and Mexico. Had he not been injured, a picket fence would have been placed outlining the border between Texas and Mexico, ending the confusion of where people could and could not settle.
Trump would have never needed to fund a wall that was already there.

Trump could just not be an idiot and that would solve our problems.

Historically there are worse years, but it's easier to judge what we've actually experienced. That's why I limited it to when I was alive. 2001 and 08 give it a run but 2016 was just a boiling point for a lot of hatred.

Agreed. 9/11 led to the Patriot Act & idiotic never-ending wars that have wasted trillions of dollars & led to the deaths of countless people.
