Civil War Was Not Fought Over Slavery, But Financial Freedom
Textbooks that have been carefully edited continue to teach American school children that the American Civil War was fought over the Slavery issue; that is, that the South did not wish to free the negro slaves. But it we look behind the scenes we will find that the "slave question" was but the surface issue. Below the surface ran a current of intrigue that ended with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln because he was determined that the United States be free from the bondage of the international bankers.
The Missouri Compromise was written in 1820. Thirty years later, a subsequent compromise of 1850 was effected. For thirty years America had worked out her problems the problem of slavery and later the problem of State Rights satisfactorily. Even as late as the Kansas Nebraska Act, the give and take of compromise was effective. Yet in the year of 1857 the war was decided upon, not in the prospering South, not in the prospering North, but in London, England!
Division of U.S. Plotted in London
In the year 1857, the money power of old Europe cantered in the House of Rothschild. Disraeli represented them in England; Napoleon III in France; Bismarck in Germany and Mazzini in Italy. According to Mr. John Reeves, who wrote on page 228, of an authorized biography entitled: "The Rothschilds, The Financial Rulers of Nations," based on research in their own archives, there was a famous meeting in the City of London in 1857. The great Rothschild family was assembled from the countries of Europe for the marriage of Lionel Rothschild's daughter, Leo to her cousin, Alphonse, son of James Rothschild of Paris.
Disraeli is reported to have said:
"Under this roof are the heads of the family of Rothschild a name familiar in every capital of Europe and every division of the globe. If you like. we shall divide the United States into two parts, one for you, James, and one for you, Lionel. Napoleon will do exactly and all that 1 shall advise him."
Thus, in London, we see a plan fostered by the money power of Europe, moving in on America, and pitting the North against the South under the old principle of "divide and conquer." The North was to become a British colony annexed to Canada, while the South would go to Napoleon Ill of France!
Judah Benjamin, Rothschild Agent
"Napoleon's object was to assure the predomination of the French over the Latin races and to augment the influence of these races in America. Napoleon decided to recognize the independence of the rebellious American States and repeatedly urged the British government to join him in so doing," according to Mackenzie in his historical research entitled "The Nineteenth Century."
Judah P. Benjamin was chosen by the Rothschilds to do their work in the United States and he was the first adviser to Jefferson Davis, the President of the Southern Confederacy. Benjamin has been called “the brains of the revolt.” He was also Secretary of State of the Confederacy under Jeff Davis.
The Confederacy consisted of eleven Southern States bound by a written Constitution, modelled in part after our own Constitution. It was founded on the fundamental principle that each one of its eleven constituted States had the right to secede from the Union, or to separate from the other 23 out of the 34 states of the Union.
Nevertheless, at the instigation of Benjamin and under pressure of Napoleon, Texas and Louisiana were placed on the bargain counter in exchange, presumably, for Napoleon's aid. The latter was supported by Disraeli of England, who had assured the Confederacy of the support of Britain behind the nine remaining States, after Texas and Louisiana were to be ceded to France.
Intervention of Czar Saved United States
English, French and Spanish troops had landed at Vera Cruz in 1862. Since June 5, 1863, the French General, Bazaine, had occupied the capital of Mexico. The danger was great. The genius of President Lincoln was taxed. He knew the North, alone, could not have withstood such a combination. Moreover, Archduke Maximilian had been induced to accept the throne of Mexico. But fate stepped in.
The Christian Czar of Russia, Alexander II, through his ambassadors at Paris and London, knew of the plan, knew of England's recognition of the Confederacy, knew the Rothschild plot behind the whole manoeuvre.
The Czar dispatched a fleet to San Francisco under the command of Admiral S. Lesowsky, on September 8, 1863, and a squadron to New York under Admiral A. A. Popoff. Both Admirals had orders from the Czar "to be ready to fight any power and to take their orders only from Abraham Lincoln."
Needless to say, this generous and vigorous action saved the United States from foreign intrigue. James Rothschild was left without Mexico and the Southern States, and Lionel could not capture the North through military measures. But the European Machevillis were determined on financial conquest, if not actual slavery.
Booth's Code Found in Benjamin Trunk
The good Czar, after several unsuccessful at tempts on his life, was murdered in 1881. Lincoln was murdered in 1865, on April 4th, by an actor, John Wilkes Booth, in whose trunk was found coded messages the key to which was found in Judah F. Benjamin's possession. Benjamin escaped to England where he later died.
The good Czar, Alexander II, had been responsible on September 19, 1861, by imperial decree, emancipating the Russian serfs, in number over 47 million. Serfdom was ended by the stroke of a pen.
But in the United States, it took billions of dollars and oceans of blood to free three millions, not serfs, but slaves because of an infamous plot of English and European money lords.
Bismarck knew the truth and revealed it in 1876 to a German, Conrad Siem, who published it in "La Vieille France,” (No. 216, March, 1921), forty-five years later.
Bismarck wrote:
Bismarck Told Story in 1876
“The division of the United States into two federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the High Financial Power of Europe. These bankers were afraid the United, if they remained in one block and as one nation, would attain Economical and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination over the world. The voice of the Rothchilds predominated. They foresaw tremendous booty if they could substitute two feeble democracies, indebted to the Jewish financiers, to the vigorous Republic, confident and self providing. Therefore, they started their emissaries in order to exploit the question of slavery and thus to dig an abyss between the two parts of the Republic.
"Lincoln never suspected these underground machinations. He was anti-Slaverist, and he was elected as such. But his character prevented him from being the man of one party. When he had affairs in his hands, he perceived that these sinister financiers of Europe, the Rothschilds, wished to make him the executor of their designs. They made the rupture between the North and the South imminent! The master of finance in Europe made this rupture definitive in order to exploit it to the utmost. Lincoln's personality surprised them. His candidature did not trouble them; they thought to easily dupe the candidate woodcutter. But Lincoln read their plots and soon understood. that the South was not the worst foe, but the Jew financiers. He did not confide his apprehensions, he watched the gestures of the Hidden Hand; he did not wish to expose publicly the questions which would disconcert the ignorant masses..
"Lincoln decided to eliminate the international banker by establishing a system of loans, allowing the States to borrow directly from the peoplewithout intermediary. He did not study financial questions, but his robust good sense revealed to him, that the source of any wealth resides in the work and economy of the nation. He opposed emissions through the international financiers. He obtained from Congress the right to borrow from the people by selling to it the 'bonds' of the States. The local banks were only too glad to help such a system. And the Government and the nation escaped the plots of the foreign financiers. They understood at once, that the United States would escape their grip. The death of Lincoln was resolved upon. Nothing is easier than to find a fanatic to strike.
"The death of. Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom," continues Bismarck. "There was no man in the United States great enough to wear his boots. And Israel went anew to grab the riches of the world. 1 fear that Jewish banks with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America, and use it to systematically corrupt modern civilization. The Jews will not hesitate to plunge the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos, in order that 'the earth should become the inheritance of the Jews
Facts Hidden in American Files
Thus does unwritten history come to light with the years. Again, we repeat that the above quotation from Bismarck was released to the public in 1921, some forty-five years after it was written. Bear in mind also that the official archives of the United States Government, bearing on the Civil War, will not be available until 1965, or 100 years after the event. We have therefore to be obliged to go to European sources to obtain the facts.
