Content: When people lose their homes someone else    wins them for a fraction of their worth. Depression is good news    to the lender; but war causes even more debt and dependency than    anything else, so if the money changers couldn't have their    Central Bank with a license to print money, a war it would have to    be. We can see from this quote of the then chancellor of Germany    that slavery was not the only cause for the American Civil War. "The division of the United States into federations of equal    force was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial    powers of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the US, if they    remained as one block, and as one nation, would attain economic    and financial independence, which would upset their financial    domination over the world." Otto von Bismark chancellor of    Germany 1876 On the 12th of April 1861 this economic war began. Predictably Lincoln, needing money to finance his war effort, went    with his secretary of the treasury to New York to apply for the    necessary loans. The money changers wishing the Union to fail    offered loans at 24% to 36%. Lincoln declined the offer.
