In the United States, listings on the National Register of Historic Places are made only on recommendation from State Historic Preservation Offices in each of the US states. Individual states maintain their own historic registers, although in some US states all properties on the state register duplicate the National Register listing. The National Register listing in itself confers no protection to a historic property but may qualify the site for matching grants for historic restoration.
Local historic designations in many US municipalities provide some limited protection against demolition of historic landmarks.

“The parallel between antifeminism and race prejudice is striking. The same underlying motives appear to be at work, namely fear, jealousy, feelings of insecurity, fear of economic competition, guilt feelings, and the like.

—Ashley Montagu (b. 1905)
“Today’s difference between Russia and the United States is that in Russia everybody takes everybody else for a spy, and in the United States everybody takes everybody else for a criminal.”
