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?

I believe Thomas Jefferson created the American system
Since Europe follows the kg system I believe the Romans did...
The english didn't use pound because that was a currency
I never said they could read/write -_-... read before you talk.
