The pounds system originated in the Roman Empire, but the pound system used today that consists of 16 ounces equaling 1 pound was made by the English in 1300's or 1400's.
The Americans never made their weight system, they just used English weight system.
Also, are you implying that no one knew how to write until the 1700's?
