Dred Scott decision and the Fugitive Slave Law was our darkest hour.

Right up there, but never would have happened without the cotton mill providing a strong economic incentive for mass slavery... I was using that as a 'catch-all' for what came after.

That decision and that law, however, were promulgated upon due debate and consideration of our governmental branches. That's a lot worse that an invention.
