It's been a wild ride since someone (who as of yet remains unknown) leaked a draft opinion by Justice Alito that signaled the highest court of the land was planning to overturn Roe vs. Wade.
Since then, we've seen protest after protest across the nation, at the homes of justices and members of congress. At churches, crisis pregnancy centers and all across social media.
And now that we're learning this final decision could come as early as Monday, the Department of Homeland Security had a bit of leak of their own that warned that the Biden administration is getting ready for a coast-to-coast wave of violence after the decision is released.
Nearly four times as many people currently disapprove of the job that Congress is doing than support it. And it's been pretty much just that bad for the past few decades.
So today, we're going to go back in time and talk about a time that Congress got it right, and how that year of 1875 is so relevant for us Americans right now.
The Civil War spanned from 1861 to 1865 and while (and after) it raged, the nation faced grueling hyperinflation in the Confederate states paired with noteworthy currency depreciation in the North.
Even a decade after the war, the problems were pretty serious. And Congress still hadn't made good on the promise to make paper money redeemable for solid gold.
That's why in January of 1875, Congress passed the Specie Payment Resumption Act and President Ulysses S. Grant later signed it into law.
