"In 1880, the ages of consent were set at 10 or 12 in most states, with the exception of Delaware where it was 7."
"Until the late 20th century many states had provisions requiring that the teenage girl must be of previous "chaste character" in order for the sexual conduct to be considered criminal. In 1998 Mississippi became the last state to remove this provision from its code."

In 1880, and in 1998, the US was arguably more white and Christian than today.
And why was modesty strictly enforced? What's next, walking around nude will be allowed? No one will force them to cover up?
Because it was necessary to use FORCE to have people behave in a modest manner.
I'm not arguing against the use of force. I'm stating that the majority of people had always been degenerates who only behaved modest because either police or aristocracy made them.
Today, Christ is not their moral compass.
Jesus died childless and was sacrificed on the cross to save the souls of others.
Today the descendants of Christianity are dying childless, sacrificing their land and wealth in the hope to save foreigners.
Meanwhile Mohamed was a warlord with 7 children, and his descendants are warmongers with many children.
They can't believe that common decency existed because they are so perverted in the mind themselves.
Common decency has to be enforced by the ruling class and does not come natural.
As fucked up as it sounds, when Delaware set the age of consent to 7 in 1880, that was a step in the right direction. Because at least they could agree that fucking a 6 year old is wrong and people should be punished for that. I guess at least if the girl was of "chaste character".
Those are your american ancestors.
Younger age of consent proves people were different in those times. It's just further evidence that people had more restraint. They didn't need consent laws like today to protect from pedophiles because that wasn't a major problem. People got married younger and started families younger. There were stricter penalties for rape and child molestation. They would put those people to death.
People understood right from wrong. You need law and order to guide the people. If there were no laws, yes, people would resort to twisted satanic evil. Again, this is part of original sin. This is why pagans did and do all sorts of evil things like killing children, raping, and sodomizing people. To say that everyone in past generations had a degenerate mind and didn't do all these awful things just because of the law is not true. There were far more religious people than today. Today everyone is anti-religion.
Christ sacrificed himself for our sins to redeem us. Childless? He is God, the author of everything. Mohamed was just an arab jewish lying con man warlord terrorist rapist adulterer murderer. He is burning in hell for eternity as with all the people he lead into error. islam is a carnal religion which promises worldly happiness. They promise virgins in heaven. This is worldly thinking. Not spiritual thinking. Europeans (where Christianity was centered) have turned their back on Christ so now the devil is devouring them and their nations. Man came from clay and will return to clay, but the soul lives on for eternity.
"For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and sustain the damage of his soul? Or what permutation shall a man give for his soul?" St. Matthew 16:16
Violating age of consent was only considered criminal when the girl was of "chaste character".
Do you genuinely believe that having exceptions for age of consent (especially if age of consent is already so low), is a sign of a more restrained society? Do you think it's ok to fuck a 7 year old if she behaved slutty?
This law is most likely in regards to rape and the death penalty because if you had sex with someone below the age of consent you were given the death penalty. So what likely happened is they lowered the age to 7 from 10 so they wouldn't have to give the death penalty to people. It could of been a politician's family member that was sitting on death row? I don't know. We are talking about early America and a small state like Delaware where they had strange laws. We don't know all the historic details. If you really want to prove your case that people were just as degenerate as they are today, then let's the statistics? How is it that rape, murder, sodomy, and every other perverse crime has sky rocketed in the past 50 years? People have become more degenerate. Influx of immigrants from backwards 3rd world countries. The rise of pornography. Divorce. Sodomy legalized.
Plus, back then they had arranged marriages. People had families at young ages. They didn't kill babies like they do today. If kids got pregnant, they had the baby and were likely then married immediately so they weren't seen as having children out of wedlock. Different times. Different culture. Much different than today where everyone doesn't know right from wrong.
