Question

Can you imagine living in the young America we are reading about? If you could visit the U.S. in this era (say, you would have to stay for one hundred days, but then you could come back to the present) would you do so? Why/why not? Time travel may not be possible, but "human wormholes" certainly are, and they can reveal just how near to us "history" remains.

Answer 1

Living in the young America is unimaginable for anybody living in this time period. For anybody of this era, even the thought of living in the young America sounds impossible. If I had an option of time travel; going back to that era and living there for 100 days and coming back after that, I certainly wouldn't decide in favor of that. I will never go to that bygone era to peep into history and see the hard times of people without any modern facilities, more atrocities based on skin color, more restricted movements, less health consciousness, higher mortality rate, fewer opportunities for education and upliftment of women, etc are certainly not a pleasant situation for a time traveler.  Given an opportunity, I would not opt for it only to see more sufferings with the help of human wormholes. History just needs to be read and not necessarily experienced, as all events are not pleasant.
