After being successfully elected as President of the United States, leading the Union to victory in the Civil War and completely abolishing slavery, Lincoln's national popularity reached its peak. After his four-year term, he was re-elected without any controversy and was re-elected in 1864.
America president.
But this does not mean that he has won the love of all people. Before Lincoln could put his post-war policies into practice, at 10:15 pm on Easter, April 14, 1865, on the fifth day after the surrender of the Southern Army,
Lincoln was shot to death at Ford's Theater in Washington.
John Booth, a famous actor who sympathized with the South, sneaked into the presidential box while the president's bodyguards were leaving and shot Lincoln.
After John Booth came from a famous family in the American theater industry, his superb acting skills have always been the target of female theater fans. However, at the same time, he was also a staunch supporter of the Confederacy. During the Civil War, Booth gathered a group of
People move in secret,
The group once plotted in a Washington apartment to kidnap Lincoln in exchange for captured Southern soldiers, but these plans, like so many other plots, went nowhere.
In the two or three days before Lincoln was assassinated, Booth was drunk almost every day. His former conspiracy organization was in pieces, with only three or two people left.
At noon on April 14, John Booth went to Ford's Theater to pick up the mail. He accidentally saw a poster saying that Lincoln and Ulysses Simpson Grant, the commander-in-chief of the Union Army, would attend the evening's program. Booth was immediately overjoyed.
, immediately summoned their buddies to implement their final plan: shoot the president!
Booth calmly entered the president's box at 10 p.m. There was a lock on the box, but the lock had been broken a few days ago, and no one reported the matter.
Since John Booth was originally an actor, the president's guards did not stop him, and policeman John Pike was supposed to be guarding the only way from the lobby to the box, but he seemed to have no interest in watching the show.
So I hid in another room and went to drink.
In this way, under this series of "coincidences", John Booth entered President Lincoln's box very smoothly, and the majestic President Lincoln of the United States of America, under the layers of protection of the presidential guards and police, just watched
During the play, he was shot from behind without knowing it.
John Booth, the murderer of President Lincoln, took advantage of the chaos and escaped. However, just a dozen days later, John Booth, who had escaped from Washington and entered Virginia, was still found and shot on the spot.
After Presidents William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor died of illness, President Abraham Lincoln was directly assassinated. The "accidental" mortality rate of American presidents is surprisingly high.
This time, President Lincoln's assassination seemed to be a crazy personal act by an actor who sympathized with the Southern forces. Even if someone noticed too many coincidences, upon closer inspection, they could only suspect that it was the revenge of the Southern slave owners.
However, Abraham Lincoln himself, who was revived by Chen Mo like Zachary Taylor after death and woke up in a Brooklyn manor, did not think so.
Those southern slave owners have been trying to kill him since he came to power, but they have never succeeded. How come they succeeded by chance after the war?
Compared to the southern slave-owning forces, Lincoln was more suspicious of another group of forces that was less conspicuous but held more powerful power.
The situation Chen Mo grasped also confirmed this point.
This assassination seems to be John Booth's personal act, but there is an invisible big hand behind it secretly controlling it. However, it is estimated that even John Booth himself does not know that his behavior has been secretly influenced and controlled by others.
.
All of this seemed to be an opportunity given to him by God. He decided on his own initiative, and with careful preparation and incredible good luck, he successfully completed this task that the southern slave owners had failed to complete despite countless efforts.
A feat, in fact, he was completely used as a gunman!
The real driving force behind this assassination is actually the same group of people who were responsible for the death of the previous two presidents!
A world banker who holds huge wealth in his hands and wants to completely control the U.S. economy through financial means!
To be precise, a banker from Europe!
Although the United States became independent from the United Kingdom, neither the United Kingdom nor other European countries such as France gave up their penetration and control of this emerging country.
Compared with Europe, the history and heritage of the United States are much different. The United States was originally the descendant of European colonists and immigrants, but the first immigrants to the United States were mostly poor people from the bottom of Europe and had no heritage to speak of.
Most of the bankers and financiers who control huge wealth in the United States today are from the European continent, and most of the rest are agents of European bankers. There are very few bankers who have actually developed in the United States, and
Even these local bankers have more or less connections with European forces as they grow stronger.
Since President Madison closed the Second Bank of the United States, the second private central bank in the United States that bankers had finally re-established in 1833, two consecutive presidents have failed to achieve their goal of rebuilding a private central bank.
The Whig Party, led by their spokesman Henry Clay, which they had spent so much effort to cultivate, completely collapsed.
European bankers see the U.S. economy becoming more and more independent, and the hope of establishing a private central bank becoming increasingly slim. European bankers are unwilling to sit back and watch the U.S. economy escape their control.
The European capitalists who were manipulating the situation in Europe behind the scenes and using money to compete with the king were not forced to retreat by the current situation. They had been fighting with royal families and governments of various countries in Europe for many years, and were able to successfully become the major creditors of the British royal family. The forced British had no choice but to
European bankers, who borrow money from them through private central banks, have extensive experience in dealing with the current situation.
The establishment of the Bank of Scotland took advantage of the fact that during the "Nine Years' War" between Britain and France, when the British government was in financial difficulties, through some clever operations, it successfully passed the permission of Parliament and obtained the charter granted by the King.
In addition, countries such as France, Sweden, and the Netherlands have also established private joint-stock banks with the nature of central banks to provide financing, lending services, and currency issuance services to the royal family.
They conducted an in-depth analysis of the current situation in the United States, and finally found that the only way is to divide the United States, increase government spending by planning a war, and burden the government with huge debts, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of their plan!
