What do you think the worst time to live in American history would be?

I think, after considering everything, I would say the 1830s. the trail if tears, dismantlement of the national bank, and tensions leading up to things such as the fugitive slave act, dred Scott, and of course the civil war.

I think second place would be 1929 with the stock market crash, leading to the great depression and mass unemployment. also prohibition happened then and many people died trying to make their own alcohol.

im genuinely curious to see what people think is the worst time in American history. I know most people are probably gping to say the present day, but I really wanted to think about all of american history
