Which reminds me of another popular scientific theory around the same era (late 1800s), the "open polar sea" - that if you could just get through the ice, you'd find an open, temperate body of water around the North Pole

How the Meiji era changed Japanese sake forever. 🍶

Before the late 1800s, sake relied on intuition. Western science introduced pure yeast and microbiology, transforming an ancient craft into modern brewing.

That’s three distinct waves of Chinese immigration. Toisanese speakers have been in the US for the longest since the 1800s, Cantonese typically from the 1960s via Hongkong. And native mainlander Mandarin speakers from the modern era. We are very different culturally but don’t tell that to the PRC.

Council raises concerns about 1800s Westerly Water Works agreement and near-capacity supply
Councilors pressed staff and the solicitor for clarity over an 1800s-era Westerly Water Works agreement referencing Pawcatuck and discussed capacity limits, prompting a requested hydraulic study and acknowledgement that a new well and pumping station could cost $4–5 million.

Later in the 1800s it was used extensively because we didn’t have a lot historical literature about the era. Now we do and modern historians (since the 1950s) have stopped using it because it can’t be used without implying a value judgement on the era, that is unnecessary.

Author, historian, SSHSA member, & former purser Gregory Abbott has been captivated by ships since his high school summer job aboard the YANKEE that went to Block Island. Learn about the evolution of steamships and passenger travel, from the 1800s to the modern era, of the ferries to Block Island.

I wonder how different this is from the era of lots of small partisan newspapers in the 1700s & 1800s. I’ve read some accounts of the Adams vs Jefferson presidential election and it seems like the crazy beliefs of the time (Jefferson will confiscate your Bible!) are similar to today’s crazy beliefs

In the 19th century, Appleseed was revered as a frontier saint. Old stories spoke of his “strange eloquence” and “thrilling” voice as he read scripture in isolated log cabins. Victorian-era tales focused on his physical toughness, but most legends emphasized his radical pacifism and nonviolence. /9

Fan vases were popular through the 1800s because the flat surfaces were easy to adorn with ornate detail, and their shape splayed bouquets out nicely.

Linguists have theorised the contemporary American accent is closer to the Tudour era English one than the contemporary English one (we got a bunch of vowel sounds from the Dutch in the 1800s) so weirdly a straight American one might be *more* accurate

I love how everyone else's answers are so recent when it was so much worse under the "Robber Baron" era in the mid 1800s. This ain't new you can trace it back through merchantilism before capitalism as far back as the 1300s and to serfdom before then. The answer is always the wealthy.

It's called an "example" that's "fresh in people's memory". Today is 2026, there's tons of people currently alive who lived to see the breakaway from 1900s era Russian politics, most people in European politics, actually. Would be pretty nonsensical to try and settle scores from 1800s and beyond rn.
