Just my opinion, but I think the biggest historical mistake we made was Woodrow Wilson.

A lot of bad consequences were the result of Wilson's Presidency, but did you have anything that he did in particular in mind?

In my opinion, the two things Wilson did that had more long lasting and destructive effects on society to this day (rivaling Social Security) were the 16th and 17th Amendments. Progressive Income Tax, and Direct election of senators.
