Early 1900s. Upstate NY. Lumberjack country.

I got into a discussion where some dude like you tried saying people in that era didn’t marry in theit teen and have kids either. Freepers came out of the woodwork with examples proving me right. Wanna go down that route?

16-17 is a child today according to modern America right? Even 18? Good old western civilization? No civilized country would allow such a child to consume alcohol today right?

Tell me about the little children not 17 year olds in foreign countries and not with parents, my understanding is that the feds changed the law to all ages, no parents needed.

By the way, if you want to get into the average age for marriage and first child in early America, I can handle that road pretty easily, we had to deal with the Mormons on that one.
