the original Siamese twins even each had wives


The brothers were born in Siam (now known as Thailand) to a family of Chinese descent and were brought to the United States in 1829. They became known to American and European audiences in "freak shows".[3] Newspapers and the public were initially sympathetic to them, and within three years they left the control of their managers, who they thought were cheating them, and toured on their own. In early exhibitions, they were exoticized and displayed their athleticism; they later held conversations in English in a more dignified parlor setting.



In 1839, after a decade of financial success, the twins quit touring and settled near Mount Airy, North Carolina. They became American citizens, bought slaves, married local sisters, and fathered 21 children, several of whom accompanied them when they resumed touring. Chang and Eng's respective families lived in separate houses, where the twins took alternating three-day stays. After the Civil War, they lost part of their wealth and their slaves. Eng died hours after Chang at the age of 62. An autopsy revealed that their livers were fused in the ligament connecting their sterna.


Even Thai folk in America owned slaves. Smh
And it must have been crazy when each guy was fukking their wife.
