It is not illegal.

Well its not quite illegal to be left handed now a days. But back then (1900's)

it was illegal. It was illegal to be left handed because left handed people would smear their writing back then they used ink and if you were left handed you would smear the ink while writing and people wouldn't be able to understand what your writing .Another reason why is cause there wasn't very many left handed people back then and if you were left handed you would be different to everyone. Plus left handed people were considered different and don't know anything kind of person all though that is not true im lefty myself. anyways if you were left handed you'd be beaten with a ruler and you'd be punished it was terrible. but now a days lefty's are treated just like how right handed people were back then :)
