1910 - In the year that Victoriana Andani was born, the Mann Act, also called the White-Slave Traffic Act, was signed into law. Its purpose was to make it a felony to engage in interstate or foreign commerce transport of "any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose". But the language was so broad that it was also applied to consensual sex between adults when wished.

1913 - Victoriana was only 3 years old when ratified in February the 16th Amendment, establishing a Federal income tax, became law.

Rates rose to 7% for incomes over half a million dollars. Less than 1% of the population was subject to income tax.

Subsequently, the French and British - as well as the United States when they entered World War 1 - developed and used lethal gas in war.

1962 - This person was 52 years old when on October 1st, African-American James H. Meredith, escorted by federal marshals, registered at the University of Mississippi - becoming the first African-American student admitted to the segregated college.
