AI Thread Summary
Frederick Douglass was a key figure in the abolitionist movement, advocating for political solutions rather than extreme measures, contrasting with contemporaries like William Lloyd Garrison. Clara Barton served as a nurse during the Civil War, though her specific allegiance to the Union or Confederate side was not clarified in the discussion. The U.S.S. Carondelet, mentioned as unfamiliar to some participants, is a naval vessel from the Civil War era. The conversation also included a suggestion to use dedicated history forums for more focused assistance on research topics.

thanks

Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads.

Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
