      Yeah idk, slavery was pretty bad. Maybe the genociding of native peoples a bit worse? or where women were house slaves or when they were burning people for not appearing christian enough?

        I don’t know what burning you’re referring to, but if you’re talking about Salem 1692, no one was ever burned. And it wasn’t about “Not looking Christian enough”, it was most likely either mass hysteria combined with a lying slave girl trying to get out of being executed, or ergot in their bread producing psychedelic affects.

        You could be talking about a different even, but I am not aware of it.

      When were the good old days? Maybe America was better like 8 years ago, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone call 2015 the good old days lol.

        Nah, not even, I’d rather live like I do now than live like my ancestors did in the early 1800s, dirt poor, addicted to alcohol, barefoot, no chance of social mobility, and worst of all, without air conditioning. Although to be fair its not like the Appalachians have changed all that much apart from the air conditioning.
