As someone who grew up in Georgia, the transportation of prisoners (in particular debt prisoners) is one of the first things we're taught in our state history classes (right after the Giant Sloths and Mound Builders). I'd be curious to see the study of the descendants of those transported to go past the American Revolution up through the Civil War. It'd be very interesting to see how long that spirit of rebellion stayed in their family lines.

Brits are taught from childhood to only cross the road when clear - Green Cross Code and all that. Whilst perfectly legally allowed to step into a road of busy traffic, and if you do get hit it is legally the drivers fault (though for a criminal conviction it gets a bit trickier), it is a non-issue as generally the thought of having ones skull caved in by an arctic acts as a disincentive.
@Zveebo4 жыл бұрын
Erde It doesn’t cause any problems really. Drivers have a responsibility to watch out for pedestrians so have to drive a little more carefully. Pedestrians equally know to be sensible and cross busy roads at crossings. On quieter roads, they will cross wherever they fancy and it causes no issues. It seems kind of bizarre to me that there are countries in the world where crossing a normal road could be illegal tbh.
@CasshernSinz16134 жыл бұрын
Same in the USA, however, if you are car on an interstate going 60mi/hr (96km/hr) then it is NOT even possible to react fast enough to a random pedestrian running across the road. By the time you see them you are already on them. Jay-Walking is meant to protect drivers from reckless pedestrians who walk onto traffic with no regard to drivers. Because the driver would otherwise be charged with manslaughter for something they really couldn't prevent. Europe from my experience is insane. Idk how the hell you people drive at all (but then again driving is less prevalent in Europe than the US). Seriously, especially in southern Europe, people have absolutely no regard for rules of the road and just do whatever they want and it's a chaotic mess.

Wigs that are handmade with human hair attract the most value. One with the hairs individually hand tied and laced are most the expensive because they are the most realistic. For that you'd have to visit a trained wigmaker, because the cost is mostly labour, because it's detailed and time consuming placing each individual hair.

Regarding the top hats, to the best of my knowledge the hats were specially reinforced so as to protect from blows to the head and so they could be used as stools, as mentioned. They also had high collars to protect from garroting. Initially, police officers had to be in uniform all the time, and wore a black and white striped armband to signify being on duty.

1920s you say? Irish War of Independence please! It's actually timely right now as our Prime Minister is getting enormous flak for proposing a commemoration of the armed force that subjugated the Irish population, and it and the Home Rule crisis are pretty much the explanation for why Ireland is the shape it is today. Which is useful for people wondering about the border given Brexit. Plus, I reckon Americans like revolutionary stories.
