Washington was captured by the Confederate States of America in the south, and the American Commonwealth evacuated Washington and moved its capital to Philadelphia; On the way to Philadelphia, President Lincoln and Secretary of State Seward were deliberately stopping at the train station in Baltimore to deliver a speech on the emancipation of slaves, when the news of their assassination by a Southern rebel spy suspected of pretending to be a blonde girl grew wings, and soon spread to all parts of the American continent along with telegrams and fast horses. Moreover, in the following six months to two months, the merchant ships that passed through the ports on the eastern coast of the United States spread to Europe and even the whole world.

In Boston, the largest city in Massachusetts, after learning of the assassination and death of President Lincoln, the agitated masses of pro-President and Republican Party rushed into the streets, dragged some sympathizers who usually professed their support for the Confederate States out of their homes, erected fences, smeared vegetable oil and paint on their bodies, and glued feathers.

In New York and Philadelphia, large numbers of skilled workers, led by bankers and factory owners, took to the streets to demonstrate, denouncing the unscrupulous assassination of President Lincoln by the Southern rebels, and declaring that they would fight the rebels to the end.

The Sun, the Tribune, the New York Times, and the Philadelphia Inquirer all devoted all their pages to the detailed story of Lincoln's assassination. But in fact, these newspapers understand that the public is not only concerned about the murderer and the mastermind behind it, but also the mastermind behind this scene, everyone has already determined from the bottom of their hearts, and more, it is what the federal government will do after Lincoln's death!

According to the latest article by a reporter close to the federal cabinet in The Sun and the Philadelphia Inquirer, although there are some differences and contradictions among the federal cabinets and members of Congress, after some mutual compromise, it has been decided that Vice President Hannibal Hamlin, who is also a Republican, will succeed the assassinated Lincoln as the president of the Federation.

Because the Philadelphia Inquirer is in Philadelphia, it knows more about these cabinet members and members of Congress who fled to Philadelphia from Washington, and has more inside information. The Philadelphia Inquirer analyzed in its supplement that the cabinet members actually had their own ideas, Secretary of State Seward, Secretary of the Treasury Samon Chase, and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton were all interested in succeeding Lincoln as president, but nominally and de jure Hamlin, as vice president, was the first person to succeed him after an accident with the president. Moreover, the reason why the Republican Party, which controlled Congress at the time, nominated him as Lincoln's deputy as vice president is because he is both a Republican and a Democrat a few years ago, and he has a close relationship with the Democratic Party, which can not only balance Lincoln, but also gain the support of the Democratic Party. Moreover, Maine, the northeastern state of Hamlin, is now the most important state in the northeast of the Union, and he is the most suitable person for the presidency.

However, the Philadelphia Inquirer's reporter may have found out in great detail, and he revealed a problem: Hamlin came from a poor background, was very sympathetic to those slaves who were also born poor, and had always been a staunch opponent of slavery, and even quit the Democratic Party five years ago because of the Democratic Party's support for the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and joined the anti-slavery Republican Party. Such a preference, who prefers radical emancipatory methods and the formation of black armed forces, as president, may make matters worse for the Union, which has just experienced the loss of its capital. After all, don't forget, President Lincoln publicly announced the emancipation of black slaves in the Southern states who opposed the federal government at the Baltimore train station speech before his assassination, and if Hamlin really succeeded Lincoln as president, he would have fulfilled Lincoln's proclamation. As a result, the idea of some members of Congress and cabinet members who wanted to make peace with the southern rebels was difficult to realize.

The New York Times did a similar analysis, except that the reporters here analyzed the impact of Washington's capture by Southern rebels and Lincoln's assassination more from a European perspective.

In the latest edition of the "New York Times", some people analyzed that before the Civil War, the federal government represented by President Lincoln borrowed huge amounts of property from European bankers, and borrowed national debt as war funds. The fall of Washington led to the de facto formal independence of the Southern rebels, and even if the Confederate States did not move their capital from Richmond to Washington, such a record would be enough for Europe to recognize their independence, at least the two American states alongside the Northern Union. Even, if the Confederate states move their capital to Washington, they may be able to use this as an opportunity to continue their offensive northward, and in turn annex the Northern Union or compress it to several states in the northeast, becoming the main orthodoxy of the United States. It is impossible for such a prediction not to be noticed by European countries, so the New York Times concludes that many countries in Europe will take this opportunity to announce their recognition of the Confederate States and establish diplomatic relations, and unless they can quickly recover Washington and capture Richmond in a short time, it is almost inevitable that the Confederate States will formally establish an independent state.

People in more than a dozen states of the Northern Union noticed that a newspaper called the New York Daily Tribune, which had little influence in mainstream American society and did not have a particularly large circulation, but had recently had a great influence among immigrants such as Prussia and Italy, put forward an eye-catching speculation about why Lincoln was assassinated.

According to the speculation of the "New York Daily Tribune", the murderer of President Lincoln should have been instructed by members of the federal cabinet or the congressman himself, because Lincoln experienced the capture of Washington, and was ready to completely tear his face with the South, and introduced the "Homestead Law" and abolished slaves, and issued the federal government's own bill currency, all in order to recruit more volunteers to defeat the South, but it may be that some doves within the Federation are ready to contact and compromise with the Southern rebels, recognize the independence of the South, and peacefully resolve the civil war between the North and the South. So get rid of Lincoln, who was determined to unify the Union. This also explains why the murderer and his accomplices were able to easily carry guns into the heavily guarded Baltimore Railway Station Square, and it cannot be ruled out that some of the Union soldiers in charge of Lincoln's security secretly cooperated with the murderer's actions, otherwise, the guards on the three floors inside and outside searched the people who entered the square one by one, and it was impossible for people to carry guns into the scene after three inspections, and there were more than one or two.

The speculation of the New York Daily Tribune caused an uproar among the people, and some people in Philadelphia even went to the Liberty Palace Square in Washington, D.C., where congressmen and federal members moved to Philadelphia, to demonstrate and demand an explanation from the federal government, questioning whether the speculation of the New York Daily Tribune was true, and also rang the Freedom Bell, which symbolizes the spirit of American freedom, causing a sensation throughout Philadelphia. In addition, the New York Daily Tribune's newspaper circulation increased dramatically.

At this time, some people who usually like to collect novelty news newspapers found that there was a new "Chicago Tribune" with a circulation of less than 30,000 copies in more than ten years, and used a shocking conspiracy to analyze the reasons for Lincoln's assassination.

An anonymous author's article in the Chicago Tribune revealed that President Lincoln was likely assassinated by bankers from European conglomerates, chief among whom was a Jewish financial family named Rothschild. The anonymous author, who claimed that his relatives were also European bankers, had received information that the European consortium, represented by the Rothschilds, had long made plans to split the American Federation into two separate states, the North and the South, and to weaken the increasingly powerful United States of America. The reason is that since the United States has been independent, after more than 80 years of development, it has attracted European capital, immigrants, technology, and rich resources and land, and its economic strength has become stronger and stronger. As a result, Europe's plutocracy is ready to take control of American finance and thus seize the benefits of the economic development of the United States of America. At this time, Lincoln, a Republican who supported the abolition of slavery, was elected president, giving these careerists the opportunity, and with their encouragement, the southern states really rebelled and established the Confederate States of America to confront the North.

Therefore, the war that will bring disaster to the United States, and which may lead to more deaths and even deeper disasters, is precisely planned and provoked by European bankers led by the Rothschilds.

The anonymous author of the article revealed further details. On the second page of the newspaper, he claimed that Solomon Rothschild, a third-generation member of the Rothschild family, arrived in Philadelphia in the fall of 1859. At that time, the American Federation was full of agents of British bankers, and Solomon skillfully used these agents to create momentum, constantly highlighting and reinforcing the conflict of economic interests between the North and the South on the issue of slavery, and successfully catalyzing the issue of slavery into an irreconcilable contradiction between the North and the South. According to the investigation, Solomon has publicly stated that if the southern states become independent, his family will strongly support the south financially, and will help the south after the rebellion to gain recognition from the great powers of europe. On the federal side of the North, there is also a Jewish banker named "the king of Central Street in Manhattan, New York" Auguste Belmont as a supporter, who came to New York 20 years ago to buy a large number of federal government bonds on behalf of British bankers, and became a leading figure among bankers in New York's financial circles. And this Jew, who openly claimed to represent the Rothschild Bank of England, declared that he was willing to financially support the Northern Union.

Therefore, such a sowing discord between the North and the South actually comes from the same Rothschild family, except that one is the Rothschild Bank in London and the other is the Rothschild Bank in Paris.
