The moral code enforced during the founders' time was much stricter than ours.

Not necessarily "enforced" as simply what was expected behaviour, yet I am willing to bet that there were proportionally as many "out of wedlock" babies then as now.

One of the things that a study of genealogy will show you is that the more things change the more they stay the same.

It would be nice, I'd like to pay my taxes with it lol.

Rob, I remember slowly coming to the realisation that everyone alive before the 1970s wasn't a prude

But there was a very clear line between public and private, and 'good' was always held up in public. And the divorce rate, and where were all the jails back then?

As for jails they sold opium in drugstore back then, now they toss you in jail.

[piece-itpete]

Ah, for the good old days, opium, horsecrap in the streets, and bad teeth

I like the back too, although it's a little plain:



If you're lucky enough to find one it can be worth over 10 large. Then you can find some more franklin mint records
