Was the Moon Landing the Most Badass Event in American History?

The near extinction of the Buffalo is pretty badass. Forcing an entire population to leave by killing off their source of existence.

After 1850, as the American-Indian war neared its climax, United States soldiers began to slaughter the animals indiscriminately to force the Indians to leave their homelands. With the advent of the railroad the killing of the bison became a sport. Travelers would shoot from railroad carriages, leaving the carcases to rot by the tracks. In less than 50 years about 50 million buffalo had been exterminated.

But if you're looking for something positive, then the moon landing it is.

And after everything people still call them Indians. The Insult will never end.
