born around 1853-55 ----- would have been quite a time period to be born in.
Yes - I've always thought my dad lived thru a lot of stuff - born in 1894.
Owned one of the first cars in Vernon Parish - lots of tales about that.
He was a WW 1 - vet and saw the widespread public introduction of autos, electricity, radio, phones, television, computers, moon landing. Had to quit school in 3rd grade to help take care of family (he was oldest) when his mother died. My mother made it to 8th grade before having to quit to help support the family.
Never heard any of them complain - what a hard working population == they could face anything and find a way to keep going.

Listing BLM gives it some type of validation. I just consider it part of the Covid shut down.

That’s when the woke mind virus began and it became fashionable to hate yourself because you are white and should be shamed.
This might be one of the most extreme examples of a persecution complex I've ever encountered. Perseuction complexes are a mental disease.
The average life expectancy in America 200 years ago was 38, but you're going to choose a time when we have central heat and air, insulated homes and grocery stores that deliver to your house.
Very few of us have ever stoked a fricking furnace, let alone road out winter in the 1800s.

Lol it's the Civil War and it's not even close. We still haven't healed.

The Spanish flu seems pretty bad. In 1918, the life expectancy in the US declined by almost 12 years.
Should have been called The Kansas Flu given that it started in our military barracks and got shipped over to Europe during the war. Wilson got the media to shut up about it though because they thought it would hurt the war effort. Spain’s press were the only ones to report on it freely thus the moniker
Fake news been around a lot longer than we think.

How could the answer be anything other than the Civil War? Approx 650,000 dead, entire small towns in the South with the majority of men in the town dead in the war. Rampant poverty in the South at the end of the war, etc. Also, draft riots in the North, Lincoln assassinated soon after. Nothing on the OP list comes close.

Late 1970s-early 1980s
I know the boomers on here will give me flak but hear me out.
-stagflation
-30% abortion rate (yet apparently this has been deleted from memory)
-crime in major cities
-beginning of the end of American industry
-garbage quality vehicles
1967 would be a close second:
-drugs
-LBJ
-riots
Best period of American history was the 50s. Just go watch north by northwest and tell me you wouldn’t trade for that.

Come on, man! All those dead Americans within our borders, and towns burned to the ground, but at least wokeism hadn’t been discovered yet.
