{{Era|Culture}}{{WP-REAL}}
The '''Buttonwood Agreement''' is the founding document of what is now {{Wiki|New York Stock Exchange}}. Signed in 1792 under a {{Wiki|Platanus occidentalis|buttonwood tree}} on [[Wall Street]], it was fairly simple: 24 local merchants agreed that they would trade only with one another, and that they would take a 0.25% commission on whatever they traded.<ref name="DB">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' – [[Database: Buttonwood Agreement]]</ref> These merchants would keep meeting under the tree to trade securities after the agreement had been signed.<ref name="Wall">''Assassin's Creed III'' – [[Database: Wall Street]]</ref>
