If you were able to go back in time to speak to someone from our history such as, let’s say, Abraham Lincoln, he would be able to tell you stories from his own legal practice. You would also be able to speak with him about the advances in medicine and the need for keeping track of your finances. 19th century America also had a need for plumbers since Philadelphia used cast iron pipes for water and sewage as early as 1804. If you spoke to Abe about electricians, he might have some questions as it really wasn’t until 1881 when alternating current was invented. However, Lincoln would know what electricity was.
