Early Life

Changed a sentenced that said slavery was referred to as "the peculiar institution" as a euphemism from its apologists. It was actually a neutral term, and "peculiar" was used in the sense that it was only common in one particular region of the United States, namely the South.

--Michael Hollinger--

I could find no external corroboration for a 5 yr. old Andrew Carnegie killing Piedmont Morgan. Could someone cite a reference for that?

Stained Glass Illustration in this article

Wiki Commons lists the attached stained illustration as being in honor of Andrew Mellon. I doesn't look much like it belongs with either of them, from what I can see.

I can't locate any other source, but thought you should know.

Not American

Andrew was born and raised in Scotland to Scottish parents and only move to America when he was 13-14, he’s not Scottish-American just Scottish. 77.197.126.86 (talk) 05:56, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

:That is not how this works at all.

:The US culture is, that everybody who moves there (at least legally), _is_ American. That is actually a major pride of them, and an important thing too, given their history of having grown literally from people moving over because their countries of origin treated them badly.

:Don’t be mistaken by the nonsense of current US culture as seen on TV.

:So he is definitely both Scottish and American.

Please don’t call tax thieves “philanthropists”

Their so-called “philanthropy” is merely large tax theft schemes (A “non-profit” foundation is an easy way to get money to your descendants without paying the usual taxes, and to hide wealth for the same reason.) plus professional PR teams to make them look good (Something e.g. Bill Gates is also notorious for nowadays). It takes a very superficial view, to not see that, as it is not exactly a secret. — 2A02:3035:66B:9627:774C:BBA3:61AF:BC79 (talk) 06:21, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
