Probably a tie between indians and slavery.

I'm not religiously-bent, and don't tend to view the history of nations as sinful, so to me, it's not really a matter of America's greatest sin. Our biggest mistake, imo, was bringing slaves over.
The New Deal which destroyed the proper limits on the federal government
*proper limits.............. in your humble opinion.

Haha- so true. It completely changed the focus of our society from one of strength and a pioneering spirit, to one of dependence and weakness.
So you believe that all the founding fathers were in favor of "small government"?the limits established by those who wrote it
Actually many people believe that.no one can honestly believe that the commerce clause was an end around the tenth amendment or was designed to grant the federal government the power to regulate drugs or small arms

You believe that the new deal is "unconstitutional"? Sure parts of it were, but were struck down by the supreme court. But the new deal that was empowered was not.

I believe the CC was never designed to allow everything from the war on drugs to Title VII to bans on machine guns made after May 19 1986

Also, in a twisted way, it might have benefited the world because showed us the horrors of nuclear weapons. One has to wonder how the Cold War might have gone had atomic bombs not been dropped on Japan.
I picked slavery because we are still living with it's effects 200 years later. Americans indians were robbed and treated as slaves so they are included in my pick.
