In 1787 the Constitutional Convention, meeting in Philadelphia, approved the Constitution of the United States of America. THIS ONE IS A BIGGIE PEOPLE.
In 1862 the bloodiest day in the history of America occurred at Antietam Creek. A total of 26,293 Americans died on this day, mostly in a modest size cornfield at creekside. I have been there and there is a very definite vibe off the place. I honestly believe that that much death happening in that short a time in that defined a space has left an imprint on the land that can still be felt if you are at all sensitive to that sort of thing.
In 1903 the Turks destroyed the town of Kastorai in Bulgaria and murdered the 10,000 inhabitants, just because.
