Thread: greatest era?

In American history i mean and what would u guys think? I got to say 50s If you added Blacks having same Equalitiy and women having more rights it would of been the best era ever! people still trusted each other and were communities and lived and talked with everyone!

I'd say the 90s. It was pre-9/11, so most of us still felt hopeful about things in general. Women were more likely to be treated equally. I was fresh out of my teens. Of course, in the late 90s music started to suck so let's set that category aside for the purposes of this conversation.

A good era? Why the revolutionary era of course.

In Canada? 1967.

from wikipedia, who actually have a listing for '1967 Canada'

The nation began to feel far more nationalistic than before, with a generation raised in a country fully detached from Britain. The new Canadian flag served as a symbol and a catalyst for this. In Quebec, the Quiet Revolution was overthrowing the oligarchy of francophone clergy and anglophone businessmen, and French Canadian pride and nationalism were becoming a national political force.
The Canadian economy was at its post-war peak, and levels of prosperity and quality of life were at all-time highs. Many of the most important elements of Canada's social safety net were coming on line, such as Medicare and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP).
These events were coupled with the coming of age of the baby boom and the regeneration of music, literature, and art that the 1960s brought around the world. The baby boomers who have since dominated Canada's culture tend to view the period as Canada's halcyon days.

I agree. We were also very rich at the time and noone hated us like today.

In France? Middle Ages of course.
In the US? When it wasn't colonized. I've always wondered how America would be today, if the native were in control. Much more interesting and exotic as it is today, for sure.
In general? Roman Empire. Having slaves do everything for you, while you just drink, discuss philosophy and arts, have orgiac sex... who can deny it's the perfect life? You could work or be a soldier if you fancy that...

I dont think the natives would have gotten very far seeing as they did not possess a suitable draft animal among other things.

I said "were in control". They could have traded to get what they needed.

Would they have seen the need for a draft animal? And who is to say that virulent plagues brought by traders would not have devastated their populations?

I'm a fan of the mid 30's in to the mid to late 40's. The adversity that generation faced and overcame is inspiring.
