Zachary Taylor's duties as president made him give up his own interests without hesitation and resolutely resist the expansion of slavery in the United States.
Obviously, his stance and decision-making not only harmed his own interests, but also put him on the opposite side of other southern plantation slave owners.
In this case, the slave owners whose interests have been harmed have reason to eliminate this huge "obstacle", and they do have the strength!
However, Chen Mo's answer was somewhat beyond his expectation.
"Your fellow villagers did have this idea, but before they had time to take action, others beat them to the punch."
Hearing Chen Mo's words, Zachary Taylor couldn't help but be stunned.
Not them? Is there anyone else?
He had only been president for more than a year, but so many people wanted to kill him. This made Zachary Taylor feel a little uncomfortable, and his mood began to become complicated.
In fact, Zachary Taylor, who had an upright and tough personality, offended more than just Southern slave owners during his tenure as president.
On July 29, 1844, the British Parliament passed the Peel Regulations, establishing the Bank of England's status as a currency-issuing bank. This privately controlled bank officially became the British national central bank, responsible for the implementation of currency issuance and financial supervision.
National monetary and financial policy.
In any country, whoever controls the money supply is the absolute master of all industry and commerce.
At this point, the British economy has been controlled by bankers.
The target of international bankers is obviously not just Britain. The United States, a former British colony and a rapidly developing emerging power, has become a piece of fat in the eyes of bankers as early as its independence.
International bankers have always hoped to establish a private U.S. central bank in the United States to seek benefits. They have been planning and operating for many years, and have successfully achieved the creation of a private central bank twice, but both times failed due to the intervention of the president and Congress.
It cannot be maintained for a long time.
However, international bankers will not give up. As powerful capitalists, they have strong political power in their hands. This is why they have been able to successfully establish private U.S. central banks twice.
The establishment of a private central bank is imperative. In the face of huge interests and rights, any person or force that stands in their way will be wiped out!
Whether it’s a congressman or the president!
Even the sudden death of the previous ninth president, William Henry Harrison, who was also a war hero, one month after taking office was inseparable from these international bankers.
Among them, Whig leader Henry Clay played an extremely important role.
He is the first private central bank in the United States, the founder of the "First Bank of the United States", one of the founding fathers of the United States, an important successor to Alexander Hamilton's private central bank ideas, and the darling of bankers.
He was extremely eloquent, rigorous in thinking, and quite inciting. He gathered around him a group of congressmen who supported the banking industry and were supported by bankers, and the Whig Party was established under his organization.
The Whig Party firmly opposed President Jackson's independent banking policy and was always committed to restoring a private central bank system.
William Henry Harrison was favored by him and elected as a presidential candidate. He wanted to use his hand to establish a private central bank, and repeatedly "taught" Harrison how to govern.
However, William Henry Harrison was obviously not willing to be his puppet. After Harrison was elected president, the conflict between the two became increasingly acute.
Henry Clay, who originally thought he could issue orders as the "Emperor", had asked someone to ghostwrite the president's inaugural address without Harrison's consent, but Harrison refused. Harrison also personally drafted more than 8,000 words of the inaugural address.
Speech.
In this document, which systematically elaborated on the ideas of governing the country, he opposed Henry Clay's policy ideas of private central bank and abolition of independent finance, thus deeply hurting the interests of bankers.
March 4, 1841 was a cold day. President Harrison delivered his inaugural address in the cold wind and caught a cold.
This was not a big deal to President Harrison who had a military career, but who knew that his illness strangely became increasingly serious, and he died on April 4th.
By 1849, with the election of war hero Zachary Taylor, also a Whig pick, hope of restoring the central bank seemed within reach.
Establishing a private central bank that is completely modeled after the Bank of England is the highest dream of all bankers. It means that bankers ultimately determine the fate of the country and the people.
They thought that soldiers were ignorant of political affairs and would be easy to control. After being elected with military merit, prestige and their power, they would rely more on the Whig Party in politics and become Henry Clay's puppets.
But obviously, their wishful thinking failed again.
Zachary Taylor, like William Henry Harrison, had his own ideas and persistence, and was not willing to be Henry Clay's puppet.
Zachary Taylor's negative attitude toward establishing a central bank was made clear in private.
"The idea of establishing a central bank is dead and will not be considered during my term."
In the end, it was not the central bank's idea that was decided, but his own.
Two war hero-turned-presidents promoted by the Whig Party died suddenly one after another.
Their deaths seem normal and unrelated, but upon closer inspection, there are many doubts and strangeness, and there is some hidden inner connection.
Listening to Chen Mo's complete account of the ins and outs of the incident, Zachary Taylor felt chills in his heart.
He never expected that what really killed him was not the southern slave owners he thought, but the Whig party who nominated him as a presidential candidate, or to be precise, the Whig party leader Henry Clay and
The bankers behind him, after all, not all the Whigs supported the establishment of a private central bank.
Thinking of the lives of two American presidents being manipulated by a group of bankers, Zachary Taylor couldn't help but feel alienated anger, but what followed was a burst of deep sadness.
This world is, after all, the world of capitalists. Aren’t there various forces behind these presidents? But he chose to disown his relatives, put national interests first, and ignored Henry Clay’s request. As a result,
He ended up like this, being killed by a group of bankers whose demands were not realized.
Even if there are no bankers, there are other capitalists, factory owners, farmers, and slave owners who control the United States.
