    Pearl Harbor lead to WW2 which led to huge boost to patriotism and industrial development. Kennedy and MLK assassinations were horrible, but they became "martyrs" for their causes, and helped impact society greatly after death. Obama's election showed a huge increase in voter turnout, and so far his presidency has not been bad (hasnt been to good either), 1929 Stock Market Crash did lead to an increase in Keynesian economics being practiced around the world which led to great economic security in many nations except America who fears government wants to kill their children.

    9/11 however divided the nation, led to the Patriot Act, created a prolonged War which added more debt to our country then anything Obama has done, and also gave politicians and talking heads more attention for referring to it constantly. Yeah, i would say worse day ever.

    Election of Barrack Obama

    We as Americans can deal with unexpected Tragedy. But the tragedy of Obama was one of deceit. Americans chose this Tragedy because of their naivete, and ignorance.

    Pearl Harbor 9/11 and obama swearing in are the three worst days in this nations history. I know this answer might skew the poll but I couldnt pick just one of these horrendous events.

    The worst day ever in American History was the day John Lennon was murdered. In America.
    Here you have a man who advocated peace among men, love for your fellow man, and donated millions to help others.
    Gunned down in his front yard.
