    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 Josephine Butler was a famous woman in England who had spoken out against the laws that governed prostitution. She was threatened and attacked by members of Parliament, her family, and even the mob.

    #2 The debate over prostitution was raging in England in the 1870s. On the one side was the regulationist side, which believed that prostitution should be regulated to minimize the harm it could cause. On the other side was the abolitionist side, which believed that prostitution should never be allowed to exist in any form.

    #3 The first time an attempt at regulation was made was in France in 1802, when Napoleon Bonaparte instituted a system where all prostitutes registered with the police and lived in a specific section of their city. If they refused to cooperate, they could be imprisoned.

    #4 Regulationism, or the French Plan, was a method of treating syphilis and gonorrhea that spread like a syphilitic rash. It began with a single, painless sore, and over time, it covered the hands, the feet, the limbs, the back, until the patient was completely engulfed.

      #1

      Josephine Butler was a famous woman in England who had spoken out against the laws that governed prostitution. She was threatened and attacked by members of Parliament, her family, and even the mob.

      #2

      The debate over prostitution was raging in England in the 1870s. On the one side was the regulationist side, which believed that prostitution should be regulated to minimize the harm it could cause. On the other side was the abolitionist side, which believed that prostitution should never be allowed to exist in any form.

      #3

      The first time an attempt at regulation was made was in France in 1802, when Napoleon Bonaparte instituted a system where all prostitutes registered with the police and lived in a specific section of their city. If they refused to cooperate, they could be imprisoned.

      #4

      Regulationism, or the French Plan, was a method of treating syphilis and gonorrhea that spread like a syphilitic rash. It began with a single, painless sore, and over time, it covered the hands, the feet, the limbs, the back, until the patient was completely engulfed.

      #5

      The French Plan was not perfect, as it allowed police to arrest and imprison women they deemed to be prostitutes or infected with an STI. This spread the practice of arresting women suspected of being prostitutes or infected with an STI, which led to many non-prostitutes being arrested and imprisoned.

      #6

      The debate between regulation and abolition was exported to the United States in the late nineteenth century. Regulationists had the upper hand in 1870, when the city of St. Louis enacted an ordinance empowering the board of health to register and inspect prostitutes.

      #7

      Because of passionate efforts by abolitionists, no regulationist law passed in the United States. In England, Parliament would continue to stall on outright repeal of the acts.

      #8

      On March 30, 1883, a fifty-year-old Canadian man named John Henry McCall became a United States citizen. He had been born in Charlotteville Center, a small Ontario village about as far south as you could go before sinking into Lake Erie.

      #9

      John purchased a farm in Bethany, and by 1880, nearly all of it remained covered in forest. But he had acquired $40 worth of farming equipment and $130 worth of livestock, which could be sold for cash.

      #10

      Between 1890 and 1920, 22 million immigrants came to America. They were mostly southern and eastern Europeans, who were Catholics or Jews. These new immigrants were different from those who had come in the past. They were darker
