Before 2000, what do you consider the BEST and WORST events in American history?

For me, I'd say:

Best: The forming of the United States Constitution in 1776. It is the longest living documentation of government, and it's the reason why America is here today.

Worst: The American Civil War. Though it redefined our nation and partially led us to the 50 United States, the losses and the history behind it is extremely sad. State against state. City against city. Brother against brother.

These are just my thoughts. What about yours? Please do NOT have answers that come on the year 2000 - present. A lot of people would say the "War on Terror, 9/11, Bush Administration, etc, etc" for worst events.

I don't want a "political" war and a debate. Just friendly interaction and opinions on history that occurred from 1999 - past.

The best was the winning of WW II. The country was united and strong, optimism was high. The worst was, as you said, the Civil War.
