Until recently? We had a little thing called the Civil War that was a bit of a speed bump, too.
That's why I added the part about "when I was a kid". I suppose I should have clarified that I'm talking about within my lifetime. There have definitely been other dark moments in our history.
To be fair "when I was a kid" is a rough estimation that typically can range about a 0-60 year timespan or more.
