Up to the later 19th century, the age of consent in Britain and in most American states was 10.

FWIW.

Not much.

Up to the mid 19th century in some American states it was legal for one man to own another as property.

And today it is legal for a woman to have her living baby killed and torn from her womb, not necessarily in that order.

Rectitude is not reflected in legislation nearly as often as some would like to think.
