Slavery and the Civil War
Even though many might believe that slavery, of course, was the main reason of the Civil war, it is completely inaccurate. The reasons behind the start of the Civil War varied. Lincoln realized that the economy of the South part of the country keeps an institute of slavery, therefore, before Civil War even began, he had no intention of avoiding it. In the festive address on the occasion of an inauguration, he said the following, “I have no intentions to interfere directly or indirectly with the institute of slavery in states where it exists. I assure you, I have neither legitimate right, nor desire to do so.” Even after the beginning of war, Lincoln continued to claim that Civil War is not connected with slavery in any way (Sandburg, and Goodman).
In 1863, Lincoln received unexpected help from the Russian tsar Alexander II. The tsar, as well as the German chancellor Bismarck, understood what the international moneychangers were capable of, and for this reason, refused establishment of the central bank in Russia. If America survived and avoided claws of moneychangers, the position of the tsar would remain unshakable; and if bankers succeeded in the undertakings, then Great Britain and France, which are under the control of the central banks, having divided among themselves the USA, would begin to threaten Russia. Therefore, Alexander II officially warned that if England or France will render military, or what other help to the South, Russia will consider it a declaration of war. He brought a part of the Russian Pacific fleet into combat readiness and sent it to the port of San Francisco.
Re-election of the President
Lincoln was re-elected in the following year, 1864. If he was not killed, then for certain he would destroy the monetary monopoly of national banks founded during war. He wrote to one of his friends on November 21, 1864 saying in the letter, “The money power hunts the people of our nation during the world and spins against it plots when there is a war. She is more despotic, than the monarchy, is more impudent, than the autocracy also is more selfish, than bureaucracy” (‘Abraham Lincoln’S Assassination’). Shortly before Lincoln’s murder his former Secretary of Treasury, Solomon Chase, bitterly regretted that the Law on national banks a year before that his department promoted the adoption of law on national banks and it was the greatest financial mistake in his life. This law created the monopoly affecting all spheres of life of this country.
The Lincoln Assassination and Consequences
On April 14, 1865, 41 days after the beginning of the second presidential term, Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth in Bord’s theater which is located in Washington D.C. It is well-known that the attendance of the play by the president was questionable until the day of the event. The wife of John Wilkes Booth was supposed to accompany the president and his wife, Mary, to the play. However, ended up denying the invitation. Mary Lincoln got sick the day before the event, however, ended up going because her husband insisted on doing so.
German Chancellor grieved for Abraham Lincoln’s death, “Lincoln’s death is an accident for all Christian world. In all USA there was no person equal to it … I am afraid that foreign bankers famous for the slyness and smart tricks will take huge richness of America under the complete control and will direct them to systematic depravity of a modern civilization. They will not fail to ship all Christian world in the abyss of wars and chaos only in order that all Earth became their heritage.” Bismarck perfectly understood what the plan of moneychangers consists of. 70 years later, in 1934, a famous Canadian lawyer Gerald Makgir stated that there is reasonable assumptions that international bankers behind the murder of Lincoln. In the 5-hour appeal to the Canadian House of Commons, it branded the Canadian monetary system based on a debt. Do not forget, there was 1934, the heat of the Great Depression which affected and Canada. After John Booth’s death the certificates hidden from the public received after trial fell into Makgir’s hands from secret service (‘Assassination Of Abraham Lincoln | Summary, Conspirators, & Trial’).
Overall, the presidency and death of Abraham Lincoln is a prominent part of history. He is a historical figure who abolished slavery, however, could have destroyed the bank system if kept ruling.
