Valentine's Day Cards

When was the postage stamp adopted in the americas? Right away. Congress authorized them in the same decade, in 18 forty seven. That's how we got all those those romantic civil war letters that we all think of. O, valentine's day cards begin did begin to take off as well. I found a editorial from mid century cincinnati, just before the civil war, sang that it was more civilized, actually, not to direct valentine cards at a particular sweetheart.
