Do you know how Abraham Lincoln died?
Bush's words surprised Mueller. According to FBI information, Abraham Lincoln, the greatest president in American history, died in an assassination. The murderer was a man named John Wilkes Booth, who was employed by a southern slave owner who failed after the civil war. After killing President Lincoln, the man named booth fled all the way and was finally killed.
This is a tragedy recognized by all, and a tragedy for Americans. In the history of the United States, there are three presidents who are most remembered. One is Washington, the founding president of the United States, and the other is the first Republican president of the United States. The third was Roosevelt.
But among the three presidents, Washington is the most worthy of silence and is honored as the founder of the United States, while President Lincoln is most loved by the people and is called the Savior of the United States. Roosevelt was the hero of World War II. Of course, because the battle did not take place in the United States, although all American people knew about the battle, their sensory attitude to it was not as good as the American War of independence and the civil war.
"President, what do you mean?" Director Mueller is a bit choking. His heart was thumping, thumping, and he felt that there seemed to be a big conspiracy hidden in it.
"Abraham Lincoln, shoemaker's son, lawyer born president of the United States, is the pride and example of all American presidents!" Bush sighed, "he did die in a conspiracy to assassinate, but not because of the murder of slave owners, but because of the oligarchy economy." Bush said.
Director Mueller was shocked.
"Abraham Lincoln, born on February 12, 1809, was killed on April 14, 1865. On March 4, 1861, he took office as the 16th president of the United States, and on November 8, 1864, he was re elected president of the United States. But he was killed on April 14, 1865. " Bush slowly recited the information that director Mueller was familiar with about Abraham Lincoln.
This information is familiar to director Mueller. I'm very familiar with it. He also remembered that after the death of President Lincoln, 7 million Americans saw him off on both sides of the funeral Road, and 1.5 million people paid homage to his remains. In terms of his popularity, he is the best president in the history of the United States! No one!
"Muller, you're the director of the FBI. Have you ever noticed any doubts about President Lincoln's assassination?" Bush asked.
Director Mueller shook his head. As for the death of President Lincoln, it has long been a verdict. Over the past 100 years, everyone has been lamenting and accepting this fact. Director Mueller never thought about what was wrong.
"Ha ha, I was just like you. It was only after I became president of the United States, gradually came into contact with many things, and mastered a presidential diary, that I discovered the truth of President Lincoln's death. Muller, have you ever thought that after the civil war, the United States has abolished the slave law and implemented the homestead law, and everyone has their own land. At that time, the slave owners in the south, after their defeat in the war, did not live as badly as they thought. On the contrary, their life is very good. Many people have become capitalists by virtue of their accumulated wealth and land. At this time, they are going to assassinate Lincoln. It's really ridiculous. " Bush shook his head.
Muller frowned. His brain is spinning rapidly. He has an advantage, that is, he has a very good memory. He never forgets what he has seen, but he can write down nine times out of ten. At that time, because after the civil war, the United States was in a state of great waste, the war brought great damage and destroyed the normal order of the country, and the American people were short of all kinds of materials. In this case, the defeated slave owners were protected by American law and the magnanimity of President Lincoln. Therefore, the life of those slave owners was very rich. They have reason to resent President Lincoln, but not enough to assassinate him.
"John Wilkes Booth said he was employed by slave owners to assassinate Lincoln, but in the process of being arrested, he died beside a haystack. The cause of his death was a recruit. He found that booth was going to attack a sergeant who wanted to shoot him in the arm, but he didn't think booth just turned around and hit him in the back of the head. Ha ha, how reasonable this reason seems, but it can't stand deliberation! " Bush sneered and shook his head.
Mueller's brow was frowning even more. Indeed, there were two fugitives at that time. One was booth, and the other was his best friend, Herold, who was also one of the accomplices in the assassination of Lincoln. At that time, when he was arrested, Herold surrendered, but booth resisted. According to the data, booth was hit in the back of the brain at that time. After a lot of bleeding, he did not die immediately. But said a word - told my mother, I died for the country—— After that, booth kept muttering - no use, no use
"Well, booth was born in Maryland, in the middle of the east coast of the United States. Washington, one of the first 13 states, was located in Maryland. And Booth's family is superior, his father is a famous actor, and more importantly, booth's father belongs to the Republican Party. And booth has never been to the south Bush sneered.
Lincoln is the first president of the Republican Party, and Booth's father is also a Republican Party. Will booth shoot the Republican president for the sake of the southern slave owners he has never been to? Isn't that ridiculous!
"So... President, why? For what reason did he want to assassinate President Lincoln? " Director Mueller was a little shivering.
"Why assassinate? Because of one thing - the Sherman Act. " Bush said in a deep voice.
Sherman Act, born in 1890, is the earliest antitrust act in the world. But what does that have to do with Abraham Lincoln? President Lincoln died in 1865. The Sherman Act was born in 1890. Lincoln has been dead for 25 years.
"Ha ha, because after the civil war, Lincoln drafted the Sherman Act after he was re elected president." Bush sneered.
After the civil war, with the unification of the whole country and the establishment and expansion of the railway network, the original local and regional markets quickly merged into the national unified market. On the one hand, the establishment of big market promoted the rapid development of American economy, on the other hand, it also promoted the emergence and development of monopoly organization, namely trust. Lincoln, a lawyer, has a keen sense of the economy. He was aware of the coming of monopoly. At that time, there was a sign of oligopoly. Due to the development of transportation, various industries began to concentrate in the hands of a few individuals. So Lincoln drafted the predecessor of Sherman Act.
It was the Sherman Act that led to Lincoln's assassination. Because those oligarchs, after tasting the amazing benefits brought by monopoly, are not willing to give up the benefits. And Lincoln, who wanted to clamp them down, naturally became a stumbling block. As a result, there was the tragedy of the assassination of Lincoln. As for why he chose booth, according to the analysis of "presidential diary", it is because booth's father was a famous actor at that time, but he owed a lot because of his romantic nature. And his son, booth, the loafer, naturally became the best choice. Moreover, although booth had never been to the south, he often broke out some remarks in support of the slave owners in the south in order to appeal to the public. He became the best person to carry out the plan.
As a result, it also succeeded!
However, the Sherman Act was finally established in the hands of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president of the United States. The reason why Benjamin Harrison was able to launch the Sherman Act was that his family was so rich that those oligarchs could not commit the despicable act of assassination. Benjamin Harrison, whose grandfather is William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the United States, and his great grandfather is also Benjamin Harrison. He is one of the founding fathers of the United States and a representative of the Continental Congress. He signed the famous declaration of independence.
And this little Benjamin Harrison, who was also a lawyer, was a famous general during the American Civil War and was praised by President Lincoln many times. After the death of President Lincoln, he learned the truth of President Lincoln, and worked hard to launch the Sherman Act, the first anti-monopoly law in the world. What happened during this period was also a lot of tribulations. And this "presidential diary" was also written by Benjamin Harrison. All the information Bush knows comes from this "presidential diary".
Unfortunately, although the Sherman Act went through many hardships before it was introduced, with the strength of G23, the Sherman Act has gradually lost its effectiveness. Because once an oligarch is split or severely punished, there will be a strong earthquake in American society. The American consortia in today's "G23" are the culprits who blocked the birth of the Sherman Act. In other words, they are the real behind the plot to assassinate President Lincoln.
There was a murmur of swallowing water. Director Mueller was really shocked. The fact is amazing. If you want to have evidence, say it's Rockefeller, Morgan, they bought and killed President Lincoln, I'm afraid the United States will really be in chaos. But if you think about it carefully, the Morgan family was founded in 1835, and J.P. Morgan, the greatest figure, was born in 1837. In 1865, he was only 28 years old. It was time for him to make a lot of money in the civil war, and he realized for the first time what the benefits of monopoly were.
Rockefeller, the founder of John D. Rockefeller, was born in 1839. In 1865, he was only 26 years old, which was also the most energetic age. Like J.P. Morgan, he also realized the advantages of monopoly in the civil war.
There are also Mellon group and DuPont group, whose founders started their wonderful life at the same age. And they all came to realize the wisdom that monopoly brings absolute benefits. At this time, Lincoln wanted to fight against monopoly. Naturally, they didn't agree. And Lincoln is also a very stubborn person, never compromise.
So Lincoln had to die.
What does all this have to do with Bush's repeated letting Lin Feng go( It's not finished yet. If you like this work, you are welcome to start (Qidian. Com) to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
