Chapter 459: Lincoln's Death!

After being elected president of the United States and leading the Union to victory in the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, Lincoln's national popularity reached its peak, and he was undisputedly re-elected president of the United States in 1864 after an undisputed four-year term.

But that didn't mean he was loved by all the people, and before Lincoln could put his postwar policies into practice, on Easter Sunday, April 14, 1865, at 10:15 p.m., five days after the surrender of the Confederate Army, Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre in Washington.

John Booth, a well-known actor who sympathized with the South, sneaked into the president's box and shot Lincoln while the president's bodyguards were leaving.

John Booth was born in the American theater industry, and his superb acting skills have always been the object of female theater fans, but at the same time, he is also a staunch supporter of the Southern Union, during the Civil War, Booth entangled a group of people to operate in secret.

The group had conspired in a Washington apartment to kidnap Lincoln in exchange for captured Southern fighters, but these plans, like many others, were fruitless.

In the first two or three days of Lincoln's assassination, Booth was drunk almost every day, and his former conspiracy was in tatters, with only three or two men left.

At noon on April 14, John Booth went to Ford's Theatre to pick up the mail and stumbled upon a poster saying that Lincoln and Ulysses Simpson-Grant, commander-in-chief of Union forces, would be present at the evening program.

At 10 p.m., Booth calmly entered the president's box, which had a lock, but it had broken a few days earlier, and no one had reported it.

Since John Booth was an actor, the president's guards did not stop him, and John Peck, the policeman, was supposed to be on the way from the hall to the box, but he didn't seem interested in watching the show, so he hid in another room to drink.

In this way, under this series of "coincidences", John Booth entered President Lincoln's box smoothly, and President Lincoln, the dignified President of the United States of America, was shot in the back without knowing that he was watching the play under the layers of defense of the presidential guard and the police.

President Lincoln's murderer, John Booth, fled while the scene was in chaos, but only a dozen days later, John Booth, who had escaped from Washington and entered Virginia, was found and shot dead on the spot.

Following the "deaths" of Presidents William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor, President Abraham Lincoln was directly assassinated, and the "accidental" death rate of the President of the United States is surprisingly high.

This time President Lincoln's assassination seems to be the crazy personal act of an actor sympathetic to the Southern powers, and even if one perceives too many coincidences, one can only suspect that it was the revenge of the Southern slave owners.

But after his death, Chen Mo was revived like Zachary Taylor, but Abraham Lincoln, who woke up in the Brooklyn manor, did not think so.

Those Southern slave owners who had wanted his life since he came to power, but had never succeeded, and who had succeeded so coincidentally after the end of the war?

Compared to the Southern slave-owning forces, Lincoln was more suspicious of the other group of forces that were not conspicuous, but had more powerful forces.

And the situation that Chen Mo has also confirmed this.

This assassination seems to be John Booth's personal behavior, but there is an invisible hand behind it that is secretly controlled, but it is estimated that even John Booth himself does not know that his behavior has been secretly influenced and manipulated.

All this seems to be an opportunity given to him by God, he decided spontaneously, and with careful preparation and good luck against the sky, he successfully completed the feat that the southern slave owners had failed to successfully complete countless times, in fact, he was completely used as a gun!

And the real promoters behind this assassination are actually the same people behind the deaths of the previous two presidents!

The world bankers who have huge wealth in their hands and want to take full control of the American economy by means of finance!

Bankers from Europe, to be exact!

Although the United States became independent from Britain, neither Britain nor France nor other European countries gave up their infiltration and control of this emerging country.

Compared with Europe, the history and heritage of the United States are much worse, the United States was originally the descendants of European colonizers and immigrants, but most of the original American immigrants were poor people at the bottom of Europe, and there is no background to speak of.

The vast majority 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.

Since 1833, when President Madison shut down the second private bank in the United States, the Second Bank of the United States, which the bankers had so managed to rebuild, the two successive presidents failed to achieve their goal of rebuilding the private central bank, but the Whig Party, led by their spokesman, Henry Clay, which they had worked so hard to foster, collapsed.

European bankers are reluctant to sit idly by and watch the US economy slip out of their hands as the US economy becomes more and more independent and the hope of a private central bank is becoming more and more diminished.

The European capitalists who manipulated the situation in Europe behind the scenes, using money to wrestle with the king, were not forced to retreat by the current situation, and they were able to successfully become the big creditors of the British royal family in Europe, and the European bankers who forced Britain to borrow money from them through private central banks have rich experience in coping with the current situation.

The establishment of the Bank of Scotland was established at a time when the British government was in financial difficulties during the "Nine-Year War" between Britain and France.

In addition, countries such as France, Sweden, and the Netherlands have also established private joint-stock banks with central banks to provide financing and lending services and currency issuance services for the royal family.

They analyzed the current situation in the United States in depth, and finally found that the only way to do it now is to divide the United States and increase government spending by planning a war, so that the government will be saddled with huge debts, and then achieve the ultimate goal of their plan!
