Chapter 9/B-American Civil War “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.” -Abraham Lincoln
"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 United States, if they remained in one block and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination over the world. The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed… Therefore they sent their emissaries into the field to exploit the question of slavery and to open an abyss between the two sections of the Union." - German chancellor Otto von Bismarck
A strategic opportunity dropped into the Illuminati’s lap when social divisions over slavery began to develop as the United States grew more powerful. They fanned the sparks of this issue knowing that they could take control of America through debt if they could divide the North and the South ideologically and then prod both sides into a long and costly civil war---which they would of course be funding from both sides.
“It is not to be doubted, I know with absolute certainty, that the separation of the United States into two federations of equal powers had been decided upon well in advance of the Civil War by the top financial power of Europe.” - Otto von Bismarck
Four years before the war in 1857, the Rothschilds decided their Paris bank would support the South, represented by Sen. John Slidell, a Rothschild agent, from Louisiana; while the British branch would support the North, represented by August Belmont (Schoenberg), another Rothschild “employee”, from New York. 245
