financial institutions that reside within the packet-switched confines of the various X.25 networks use their connections to transfer funds from one account to another, one mutual fund to another, one stock to another, one bank to another, etc...

The Federal Reserve System Even before the creation of the Federal Reserve, banks were used by the public just as we use them today. Deposits were made into savings accounts.

The grid system started the rapid growth of urbanization in New York City, making it easy for the population to get around because of the numbered streets, starting with First Avenue. In 1799, the Gradual Manumission Act was passed, which ignited the freedom of slaves, and created the beginning of the end of slavery, by allowing the freedom of children of slaves born after July 4th.
