The school tax part evolved differently across regions. Let's start with the North. In the early 1800s, local taxes were minimal, if they existed at all. It's not really a road-building era and a police force is one sheriff. So you don't have a lot of costs. It really is the creation of a system of public schools that requires local taxes. And no one likes taxes, particularly people who have never paid them. So, part of what the states are doing is trying to find the path of least resistance for imposing taxes.

The study was published in the journal PLOS ONE . Archaeological research has shown that interpersonal violence and warfare played an important role in the lives of hunter-gatherer groups over time.

FILE - This Feb. 15, 2007 file photo shows then Bishop of Bruges Roger Vangheluwe, in Bruges, Belgium.

A new legal effort to prevent Donald Trump from retaking the presidency next year is afoot. Its backers rely on Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution, which bars from office anyone who has 'engaged in insurrection or rebellion … or given aid or comfort to the enemies' of the United States.Numerous lawsuits have been filed arguing that Trump's participation in an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 -- either by itself or as part of a larger effort to nullify the 2020 election -- disqualifies him.
