Oh the great depression is one. The 60's and the cold war are another though we didn't go far enough to stamp out the commies and they have come back stronger than ever. The civil war seems to come to mind for some reason or another. Burning of the white house by angry british pissed we got away from them and the choking of our sea trade and prosperity by blockades and conscription of any Americans they caught. There are many other stumbling points but not quite as major but still meaningful.

Read up on how God sent a tornado to DC that stopped the Red Coats from advancing further into DC. Truly a miracle.
