JFK assassination, definitely. This indirectly led to US involvement in the Vietnam war. an incredibly unpopular war which cost the US over 50 000 men and hundreds of thousands more injured and mentally scarred. All of that for absolutely nothing. The conflict led directly to the counter-culture bullshit of the late 60s, which saw crime skyrocket. Shortly after this, the oil-crisis hit, and with that crook Nixon abdicating as the cream of the crop. American faith in government reached an all-time low during the late 70s. Not until the 80s did they kind of get their shit together again. However, they never truly managed to recover from the JFK assassination.
When did America really lose it's innocence?
