    Isn’t the dowry supposed to go to the woman’s side? so Denmark will get Alaska instead.

      No, the dowry is the price the woman’s parents pay.

      Women were seen as a burden. So in order to make women more appealing to marry, the woman’s parents had to give a dowry.

      You’re thinking of a bride price, which is the opposite.

        Thanks for clearing that up, but in this case we know Barron will be the burden, so it’s Alaska or no deal!

            Let’s sweeten the pot with North Carolina too.

            Please?

              For the love of God. Please let Denmark have North Carolina. Speaking as someone from North Carolina.

        Women were seen as a burden.

        I think that’s oversimplifying it. On the Wikipedia article there is a discussion of dowry as a type of inheritance for women, even proposing that

        When families give dowry, they not only ensure their daughter’s economic security, they also “buy” the best possible husband for her, and son-in-law for themselves.

    He already looks inbred. He might even manage to fake it as a shit-smearing Habsburg.

    I’m pretty sure it should be the US paying to position Barron (sic) Trump.
