The company typically considered the world's earliest modern corporation is chartered in London, England. Its 201 shareholders, led by explorer Sebastian Cabot, put up 6,000 pounds in shares priced at 25 pounds each. They call the company the "Marchants adventurers of England, for the discovery of lands, territories, iles, dominions, and seigniories unknowen, and not before that late adventure or enterprise by sea or navigation, commonly frequented." Understandably, this "busynes" soon goes by a shorter handle, the Muscovy Company or the Russia Company.
1863年2月26日
Abraham Lincoln signs The National Bank Act, a federal law that established a system of national charters for banks. It encouraged development of a national currency based on bank holdings of U.S. Treasury securities. It also established the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) as part of the Department of the Treasury. This was to establish a national security holding body for the existence of the monetary policy of the state. The Act, together with Abraham Lincoln's issuance of "greenbacks," raised money for the federal government in the American Civil War by enticing banks to buy federal bonds and taxed state bonds out of existence. The law proved defective and was replaced by the National Bank Act of 1864. The money was used to fund the Union army in the fight against the Confederacy. This authorized the OCC to examine and regulate nationally-chartered banks.
