The corrupt Northern controlled government in Washington DC was fighting to keep the hundreds of millions of dollars of Southern money flowing into the pockets of the corrupt Robber Barons of the North, while the South was fighting to get away from the corrupt government that was robbing them.
They didn’t care about slavery—they just wanted to divide America so they could control the money and power.
Neither did the North care about slavery. They just wanted to keep the nation together so they could control the money and power. (See Corwin Amendment, Passed by a 2/3rds majority of the Republican controlled House and Senate in March of 1861. )
In the end, Russia’s move stopped the Rothschild-backed Europeans from interfering, and the North got to fight its war without foreign enemies stepping in. The Russian fleet didn’t fire a shot, but just being there was enough to stop some seriously sinister plans. Pretty awesome, right?
Not so much. One of the most hilarious videos I have ever watched involved the doings of the Russian Fleet during the Ruso-Japanese war. The Japanese kicked their @$$ because the Russian navy was sooooo incompetent.
Happy new year.
Still crazy after all these years, ain't cha?
You and that “Northern Banker'' bit, huh? Like none of the Southern paltroons and Fire Eaters were making a killing off the slave trade, right?
