The U.S. first opposed the metric system in the 19th century when Congress passed the Metric Act of 1866, which allowed but did not require the use of the metric system.

The units that are part of both the US and metric systems include length measurements such as inches (US) and centimeters (metric), as well as weight measurements like pounds (US) and grams (metric). Additionally, temperature can be measured in degrees Fahrenheit (US) and Celsius (metric). These units highlight the overlap between the two measurement systems, despite their differing bases.
