What part of America's history would be so important that, when completely altered, would cause dramatic changes to the United States?
If you’re going for point-events, and not “grand sweep” stuff like “what about no slavery”, I’d go for:Washington gets shot by a sniper in 1777. Even if the US somehow managed to gain independence after losing General Washington - which would be far from a certainty - his actions after the war and during and after his Presidency shaped the early Republic.John Wilkes Booth’s gun misfires and Abraham Lincoln is not assassinated. Lincoln had just won re-election, and Reconstruction may have gone very differently had Lincoln been directing the early part of it and not the incompetent and foot-dragging Andrew Johnson.Giuseppe Zangara’s assassination attempt of FDR in 1933 succeeds. Roosevelt had won the 1932 election, but hadn’t yet taken the Oath of Office. Zangara killed the Mayor of Chicago and several others who were standing near FDR. John Nance Garner would have become President, and would have handled things quite differently from FDR, as he was a Texan from the more conservative, southern wing of the Democratic Party. He probably wouldn’t have done the New Deal in quite the same way, and almost certainly would have been more hesitant to work with the British in the run-up and early years of WWII. The entire sweep of WWII may end up being different in numerous ways…All of these would have resulted in a very, very different American history…

Describe how Mt. St. Helens was formed?
Mount St. Helens is an active stratovolcano located in Skamania County, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is 96 miles (154 km) south of Seattle, Washington and 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Portland, Oregon. Mount St. Helens takes its English name from the British diplomat Lord St Helens, a friend of explorer George Vancouver who made a survey of the area in the late 18th century. The volcano is located in the Cascade Range and is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Pacific Ring of Fire that includes over 160 active volcanoes. This volcano is well known for its ash explosions and pyroclastic flows. Mount St. Helens is most famous for its catastrophic eruption on May 18, 1980, at 8:32 am PDT which was the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States. Fifty-seven people were killed; 250 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles (24 km) of railways, and 185 miles (298 km) of highway were destroyed. A massive debris avalanche triggered by an earthquake measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale, caused an eruption, reducing the elevation of the mountain's summit from 9,677 ft (2,950 m) to 8,365 ft (2,550 m) and replacing it with a 1 mile (1.6 km) wide horseshoe-shaped crater. The earthquake was caused by a sudden surge of magma from the Earth's mantle. The debris avalanche was up to 0.7 cubic miles (2.9 km3) in volume. The Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument was created to preserve the volcano and allow for its aftermath to be scientifically studied. As with most other volcanoes in the Cascade Range, Mount St. Helens is a large eruptive cone consisting of lava rock interlayered with ash, pumice, and other deposits. The mountain includes layers of basalt and andesite through which several domes of dacite lava have erupted. The largest of the dacite domes formed the previous summit, and off its northern flank sat the smaller Goat Rocks dome. Both were destroyed in the 1980 eruption.
