On this day in 1919, Congress passed the Child Labor Tax Law, forcing employers of child labor to pay a 10 percent tax. In 1922, Bailey v. Drexel Furniture Co., SCOTUS ruled that it was a penalty and not a tax, and it was therefore unconstitutional.

#OTDIH 1599 Acoma massacre

The Acoma Massacre was a punitive expedition by Spanish conquistadors at the Acoma Pueblo in January, 1599. Around 500 Acoma men and 300 women and children were killed during the three-day onslaught. Of the Acoma who survived the attack, many were sentenced to 20-year terms of bondage, and 24 suffered amputations.
