I was going to use the word moments,but thinking this has to be events.Moments are just that:Moments a blink of a eye.however events shapes and mold a country.Why three events?America is so young,if you compare America as a child,I would say she would be a three year old.Three year olds have moments,countrys have events.
What are the 3 most profound events in the history of the United States of America?
* American Revolution, b/c without we wouldn't exist
* Civil War, b/c it never happened there would still be slaves, thus changing the economic dynamic greatly
* 9/11 - made us realize that we aren't big and bad, and untouchable......f-ed up our economy, made us security paranoid freaks, and led to justification for the War in Iraq.

not that 9/11 wasnt a big deal, but pearl harbor was also along the same lines and should be considered. Especially since it was a military base that was blindsided as opposed to a civilian and economic trade center. WWII and americas involvement is still greater than the "war on terror" is ATM. Not arguing with you point, just saying
