“People assign every possible motivation for going to war. The bottom line is always, every time and forever, money.”
So true, so true.
I am a southerner, yet, I freely admit both the North, the South, and Lincoln, had financial interests in the war. The regional ideologies were nothing but manifestations of their financial interests.
Every single war in the history of the world had a financial motivator behind it. Even for the muslims today they expect rewards for their actions.
Exactamundo.
