You might be talking about the Stanford v. Kentucky (1989),
where the U.S Supreme Court ruled that offenders at least 16 years old at the time
of the crime can be punished with death penalty. Doing so would not constitute
cruel and unusual punishment. That means 16-year olds who committed heinous
crimes can be put to death. The ruling was overturned with the Roper v. Simmons
in 2005, which forbade capital punishment for juveniles.
The civil war still affects us today because if the north lose there would still be slavery. Let's say if the south won. The kkk would fight against the south because they would try to end slavery because this is a alternate universe. Also the British would be the head.
