This is an opinion, as the idea of what constitutes the most difficult decade will vary depending on individual perspectives and experiences. Some may argue that the 1930s, which encompassed the Great Depression, Dust Bowl, and the lead up to World War II, was the most difficult decade for Americans to live through due to the economic turmoil and widespread hardship experienced during this time. Others may argue that different decades, such as the 1860s during the Civil War or the 1960s with social and political unrest, were more challenging for Americans.
