    Wow. The second one is pure drivel, but the "Well-being index" in the 1st one is :chefs-kiss: for ideological bias. Pretty sure the well being of enslaved and indigenous people was not included in the index during the "Era of Good Feelings." Damn.

      Exactly

      Also funny how it shows literally no changes on the "Political Stress Index" during: the Whiskey Rebellion, Alien and Seditions Acts, War of 1812, Presidency of Andrew Jackson/ Indian removal, or the Nat Turner rebellion. Among many other things.

      Like yeah, I'm sure the Civil War just appeared out of thin air, everything was going great before that until "the age of discord" just started for no reason at all.

        It didn't appear out of nowhere, the other line started declining slightly before that.
