Yes, but he would NOT have tolerated the Southern States leaving th3 Union, he wad tougher on that then even Lincoln. I think that the English Banking power was trying to divide the US. They correctly saw a rising threat
I was in a discussion a week ago when a man argued that our system was modeled after the English system, with the same Aristocratic "elite" running it, but in our country.
He made some interesting arguments on this point.
Others argued it was necessary to build the wealth of the nation at a time when the nation needed to grow prosperous in order to defend itself.
I'm not sure I can find a flaw in this view of events.
