Eight Blocks in Manhattan
There's not many people that know of Wall Street that don't have an opinion on what it represents. Anchored within these eight blocks are financial houses and stock exchange that have billions of dollars flowing through them on a daily basis. It is well known that what happens on Wall Street has ripple effects all the way across the United States, and in some cases, the world. However, the history of how this street came to be in an equally interesting story, steeped in blood, trade, questionable defensive fortifications, and a complete indifference to the surrounding ocean.
