Has to be the Civil War. The only time political disagreement led to full armies fighting each other on american soil.

What is the greatest crisis the United States has ever had to endure?

The Great Depression, then electing a president in 2008 who wishes to have an Empirical presidency, then control, rather than create, jobs, in America.

obama

The Revolutionary War would have to be #1 with the War of Northern Aggression a distant 2nd.

None of the other events or wars that you have list threatened the sovereignty or future existence of America.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

We're going through it right now.

We will either elect a real American with real answers to our current problems or we will split apart as a country.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

We have the ogling Athena's icon crisis too

No brainer...The Civil War

 

[Saigon]

The Vietnam War, it exposed America to the world.

I voted for that, too.

I think it was that loss of hope and innocence...and also a time when the US seemed like two nations - for the war and against the war.

Quite how long is it until your 10th birthday, Frank?

Do you REALLY think Obama is a bigger deal than the civil war? Than Pearl Harbour? Than Viet Nam?

I dont understand how you see vietnam as worse than the civil war. The civil war had actual standing armies marching around and shooting at each other.

Yes, that's true, of course. You're right.

I was just thinking from a 21st century global perspective.

civil war

The term Civil War is a bogus term used by Yankee historians.

It was actually a war of Northern Aggression against the southern states.

I was only alive for Vietnam and the Crisis in that war was how would the "American" Left turn our military victory after Tet into a defeat.

And you fuckers pulled it off.

More like the "war of southern butthurt over losing the 1860 presidential election".

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The Civil War was like the situation we face today: we have a vast number of people (Leftists) solidly against our Constitutional Republic

The day America lost it's rights as a sovereign nation and sold itself to the banks. 1913 Woodrow Wilson and the Federal Reserve

 

[Sunni Man]

Frank I am a Vietnam Vet so you have no reason to throw rocks at me.

But no, the Left didn't cause Vietnam to wind up in the "Lost" category.

You can't defeat a people who have a strong nationalistic reason to fight and die.

Nor can you bomb people back into the stone age..........who all ready live in the stone age.

Afghanistan is another example of our misguided folly in trying to do just that.
