i agree but ignore them. It's not like they can force you to use it over BC and AD. It's the same fucking numbers, so they'll know what you mean and can't make excuses.

>Did states just have their own individual currencies?

Bingo.

>If he hadn't had passed that, what would the U.S. look like today?

Every state would need their own federal reserve which is just a stupid way of running things.

>>3384652
>which is just a stupid way of running things.

So then what are some valid criticisims of the Federal Reserve? What were the negative consequences of Woodrow's actions?

Don't listen to this guy>>3384652

>I often hear Wilson criticized for signing the Federal Reserve Act
only by lolbertarians and conspiratards hate it. Honestly Wilson's version of the fed was 100x better than what the republicans were attempting to do at the time.

>Did states just have their own individual currencies?

no, the us treasury was in charge of printing money and the US had various national currencies over that time (greenbacks, coins, etc)

>If he hadn't had passed that, what would the U.S. look like today?

No one really knows, I imagine the economy would be more unstable.

What's the point of Common Law? It puts too much power in the hands of lawyers, who are the only people who bother to read and memorize thousands of precedents and individual cases. Common Law court systems make a mockery of justice.

>who are the only people who bother to read and memorize thousands of precedents and individual cases
You don't memorize all the cases, just the important ones. You just need to do legal research for torts and contract law. Most real estate law is codified now though.

>>3384574
The idea behind it was that every citizen could have a passable knowledge of the law, as a remedy for the incomprehensibly opaque legal bureaucracies that sprung up towards the later stages of European monarchism.

When the Napoleonic code was first written, it fit in a single volume and was widely owned and read even among normies.

>>3384547
The United States has always had legal gun ownership due to its constant status as a frontier nation, and guns were more expensive (hand-made parts) while not uncommon.

In Europe, the history of guns is a more complicated matter due to the number of countries/climates. You might have owned a firearm if you had the money for it and were going to use it in some way (hunting shotguns, dueling pistols). Anyone middle class or lower in high density areas would almost certainly not have one while in rural areas they would be more common while still somewhat uncommon. The cliched image of the noble with a trophy room of stuffed trophies and a shotgun collection applies decently.

>>3384598
Thanks, anywhere else I can read up on this?

>>3384639
I don't know of any good sources for private European firearm ownership, but here's one regarding the United States during the 18th-early 19th centuries:

http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1489&context=wmlr

Basically this states the majority of 18th century male controlled well-off estates contained firearms through looking at recorded probate (will) inventories of the time.

You call it a predicate? Is this a joke?

>>3385090
But the "I am" and "possumus" are both subject and predicate.

Isn't there another term? Like... "complemented"... something? Does the complementary infinitive just complement the main verb of a sentence or the whole meaning of the sentence?

Kilts weren't invented till the 15th Century or later desu. Pants came into fashion because pants became popular in the army and frontier servicemen as the gradual melding of Germanic and Roman culture fused. In the provinces most subject to the frontier, the warlords who eventually took control had Germanic fashion, which included trousers. If you wanted to emulate power in those regions, you carried a sword in public, had been buried with weapons and jewelry, and you wore pants.

>>3384663
>Kilts weren't invented till the 15th Century or later desu.

Are you claiming Celts wore pants?

>>3384865
alright, so you're about to be buried under a mountain of shitposts so I advise you delete this. The kilt most certainly did not develop until much later, same thing for tartan colors. Also, "celts" refers to a gigantic group of peoples that made it all the way to turkey.

bad comparison imo, Jackson never led the amount of troops Grant did although he was probably the best corps commander from either side. The Grant-Lee comparison is far better and the typical talking point is Lee had better tactics and Grant had better strategy. Of course that's a massive oversimplification and somewhat boring.

>good biographies on these two you'd recommend
Mcpherson is the standard but I find his biases somewhat obnoxious. Gallagher is probably the best current military historian.

What's sad is that this is legitimately a better OP about Africa as top of most OP's on other topics on this board.

>>3384336
Who would want to?

>>3384336

Because the terrain of Africa makes invading it really fucking hard until you have technology that is pretty modern.
