Unfortunately, pangolins are also among the most heavily trafficked animals in the world because their scales are used in some traditional medicine markets and their meat is considered a delicacy in some regions. Many species are endangered.

Just because a pastry is called a Danish, it doesn't mean that it was made in Denmark by a Danish pastry chef.

The Italian and French bread that you buy at your local grocery store, were actually made by Americans.
Sorry that's all I know about them.

Wikipedia:
"In 1870, Wood began the litigation process to sue Zebulon Ward in federal court in Cincinnati. The trial, Wood v. Ward, took place in 1878, presided over by Judge Philip Swing. Wood and her lawyer, Harvey Myers, asked for $20,000 in restitution, and the jury awarded her $2,500, which she received in 1879. The amount is equal to $65,000 in 2019 dollars, and remains the largest award ever given for slavery reparations. Her case was championed by Lafcadio Hearn of The Cincinnati Commercial."
I was pretty sure her trial wouldn't have taken place in the South.
