@apoduri: Definitely Civil War, because both sides of the war were Americans, leading to a massive amount of casualties for America.

@apoduri: Of course 1700 to 1800. That's when America got Independence! Most people would probably say the latest century, 1900 to 2000, because of the explosion of computers and other electronics, and overall technology, but if not for America's gain of independence from Britain, none of this would've been possible. Think of a world Americans would be living in if not for the Revolutionary War!

@ThatOneFangirl: The Declaration of Independence is way more important. It's (literally) the thing that even makes the US a country! While all of these things are important, they didn't make us a country.

@apoduri: The Emancipation Proclamation has a huge impact on our lives today, though not many people know it. Racism has been around since the beginning of this country and still is here now, but if it weren't for Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation, imagine what a world we would be living in.
