 Albert , I agree with some of you points about simpler life . But higher morals?  hmmm prostitution was allowed in many places.  Women had no rights especially if they were married.   Many women especially were addicted to Laudinum  including Mary Chesnut .  Might have been better times for men ,but not for women.
