Good point Alexander, we must also remember that there were many other terrible times in human history.
My great great great grandfather was born around 1820 and emigrated to Australia (after the Irish Potato Famine) in 1865 with his young family, at the end of the American civil war. He died in 1902.
Some of my Irish relatives still carry their famine designations. When there was a large congregation of families with the same surname in the one area they would add another name to designate which part of the greater family they were from i.e. Cooper, Peeler, Drummer etc.
Thomas Jefferson said words to the effect that our constitutions are for restricting our politicians from becoming our masters instead of being our public servants. When our politicians slip their leashes terrible times happen.
