BS, Pickett’s charge was the largest mass shooting in US history.

Probably followed by Cold Harbor.

I haven’t been seeing “modern history” in the articles posted to FR. And the radio hasn’t been using “modern history” today.

After the Pulse Massacre they were saying “largest ever” until 19th century shootings were discussed and they amended their remarks to “modern history”.

Since this eclipsed the Pulse tally, they’ve just gone to “largest ever”.

So many larger massacres throughout history. Guess if modern means last 50-100 years, maybe. And is this gun only or what about 9/11?

You can say that it is the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history, but not all of United States history.

Damn history all to hell. We’re not supposed to remember things like that. That’s why the Progressives don’t want American history taught any more.

1854 IS modern history.

I’m pointing out that the Democrats killed more people in the past and those they murdered were African Americans!

You would have to rule out shootings conducted by US military in order for this to be the largest. Let’s not forget Wounded Knee where over 150 were killed.

Indeed. Margaret Sanger was born in 1879.

Also.... Ask the Native Amercans. Many of the slaughters exceeded 58.
