I was going to post this in the History forum, until I realized the last 6 threads were started by me, which is bad enough.

Let's say after you died, you were able to go back and experience any decade in United States history. Which one would you pick?

1860's, though 1770's would be a close second.

1960s by a very narrow margin over the 1940s.

I chose the 1860s, but the 1920s and 1960s are close behind.

1780's

We live or die as a nation during this time period.

1860's a close second.

If you mean the most interesting politically, I would pick the 1860s. The 1850s were also very interesting.
