Chapter 3032 America's Greatest Secret

Do you know how Abraham Lincoln died?

Bush's words startled Mueller. According to the data, Abraham Lincoln, the greatest president in American history, died in an assassination attempt. The murderer was a man named John Wilkes Booth, who was hired by the failed Southern slave owner after the Civil War. After killing President Lincoln, the man named Booth fled all the way and was finally shot dead.

This is a tragedy recognized by everyone and the sorrow of the Americans. There are three presidents in American history 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 is Roosevelt.

But among these three presidents, Washington is the most worthy of respect and is honored as the founder of the United States, while President Lincoln is the most loved by the people and is called the savior of the United States. Roosevelt is a hero of World War II. Of course, since this battle did not take place in the United States, although all American people know about this battle, their sensory attitude towards it is not as good as the American War of Independence and the Civil War.

"President, what do you mean?" Director Mueller sobbed a little. His heart was thumping, thumping, and he felt that there seemed to be a huge conspiracy hidden in this.

"Abraham Lincoln, the son of a shoemaker, the American president born as a lawyer, he is the pride and role model of all American presidents!" Bush sighed, "He did die in a conspiracy assassination, but it was not because of the murder of the slave owner, but because of the oligarchic economy." Bush said solemnly.

Director Mueller was shocked.

"Abraham Lincoln, born on February 12, 1809. Killed on April 14, 1865. Inaugurated as the 16th President of the United States on March 4, 1861, and re-elected as President of the United States on November 8, 1864. But he was killed on April 14, 1865." Bush slowly recited the information about Abraham Lincoln that Director Mueller was very familiar with.

These information. Director Mueller was very familiar with them. Very familiar. He still remembered that after President Lincoln's death, 7 million Americans lined the road on both sides of the funeral procession to see President Lincoln off. 1.5 million people paid their respects to President Lincoln's remains. In terms of his popularity among the people, he is the best president in American history! No one else!

"Mueller, you are the director. Have you ever found any doubts about President Lincoln's assassination?" Bush asked.

Director Mueller shook his head. The death of President Lincoln has long been concluded. For more than a hundred years, everyone has sighed and accepted this fact. Director Mueller has never thought about what is wrong.

"Haha. I was the same as you at the beginning. It was only after I became the President of the United States, I gradually came into contact with many things, and after I mastered a presidential diary, I discovered the truth about President Lincoln's death.

Mueller, have you ever thought that after the Civil War, the United States had abolished the slave law. And implemented the Homestead Act, everyone had their own land. At that time, the lives of the slave owners in the South were not as bad as they thought after the war. On the contrary, their lives were very good. Many people became capitalists with their accumulated wealth and land. At this time, they went to assassinate Lincoln, which was really ridiculous." Bush shook his head and said.

Mueller frowned. His mind was spinning rapidly. He had an advantage, which was that he had a very good memory. He could remember most of what he had seen, although he could not remember everything. At that time, after the Civil War, the United States was in ruins. The war brought great destruction and disrupted the normal order of the country. The American people lacked all kinds of materials. Under such circumstances, the defeated slave owners were protected by American laws and President Lincoln's magnanimity, so the slave owners lived a very comfortable life. They had reason to resent President Lincoln, but they did not have enough reason to assassinate him.

"That John Wilkes Booth was hired by the slave owner to assassinate Lincoln, but he died next to a haystack during the capture. The cause of death was a recruit who wanted to shoot Booth's arm because he found that Booth was going to attack a non-commissioned officer who was arresting him, but Booth turned his face and shot him in the back of the head. Haha, this reason seems so reasonable, but it is so untenable!" Bush sneered and shook his head.

Mueller frowned even more. Indeed, there were two fugitives at that time, one was Booth, and the other was his best friend, Herold, one of the accomplices in the assassination of Lincoln. At that time, when they were arrested, Herold surrendered, but Booth fought stubbornly. According to the data, Booth was hit in the back of the head and bled profusely, but he did not die immediately. Instead, he said one sentence - Tell mom, I died for the country. - After that, Booth kept mumbling - It's useless, it's useless..

"Humph, Booth was born in Maryland, located in the middle of the east coast of the United States. It was one of the original 13 states, and the capital Washington is located in Maryland. Moreover, Booth's family is well-off, his father is a well-known actor, and more importantly, Booth's father belongs to the Republican Party. Also, Booth has never been to the South." Bush sneered.

Lincoln was the first president of the Republican Party, and Booth's father was also a Republican. Would Booth shoot the Republican president for the Southern slave owner he had never been to? Isn't this too ridiculous!

"Then... President, why? Why did he want to assassinate President Lincoln?" Director Mueller shivered a little.

"Why assassinate? Because of one thing - the Sherman Act." Bush said in a deep voice.

The Sherman Act, which was born in 1890, is the earliest antitrust law in the world. But what does this have to do with Abraham Lincoln? President Lincoln died in 1865. And the Sherman Act was not born until 1890. Lincoln has been dead for 25 years.

"Haha, because Lincoln drafted the Sherman Act after he was re-elected president after the end of the Civil War." Bush sneered.

After the Civil War, with the unification of the country, the establishment and expansion of the railway network, the original local and regional markets quickly merged into a unified national market. The establishment of the large market promoted the rapid development of the US economy on the one hand, and also promoted the emergence and development of monopoly organizations, namely trusts, on the other hand. Lincoln was born as a lawyer and had a very keen sense of economics. He sensed the coming of monopoly, and there were already signs of monopoly oligarchs at that time. Due to the development of transportation, various industries began to concentrate in the hands of a very small number of individuals. Therefore, Lincoln drafted a predecessor of the Sherman Act.

And it was because of the Sherman Act that Lincoln was assassinated. Because those oligarchs, after tasting the amazing benefits gradually brought by monopoly, were unwilling to give up these benefits. And Lincoln, who wanted to clamp them, naturally became a stumbling block. Therefore, the tragedy of assassinating Lincoln occurred. As for why Booth was chosen, according to the analysis of the "President's Diary", although Booth's father was a well-known actor at the time, he owed a huge debt because of his romantic nature. And his son, Booth, this idle playboy, naturally became the best candidate. And although Booth had never been to the South, in order to attract attention, he often made some remarks supporting the southern slave owners. He became the best candidate to implement the plan.

As a result, it was also successful!

However, the Sherman Act was finally formally 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 because of his rich family background, which prevented the oligarchs from committing despicable acts of assassination. Benjamin Harrison, whose grandfather was William Henry Harrison, the 9th President of the United States, and whose great-grandfather was also Benjamin Harrison, was one of the founding fathers of the United States. He served as a representative of the Continental Congress and signed the famous Declaration of Independence.

And this little Benjamin Harrison was also a lawyer. He was a famous general during the American Civil War and was repeatedly commended and praised by President Lincoln. After President Lincoln's death, he learned the truth about President Lincoln and went through a lot of hardships before launching the Sherman Act, the world's first Antitrust Law. And the experience during this period was also a lot of hardships. And this "Presidential Diary" was also written from Benjamin Harrison. All the information Bush knows comes from this "Presidential Diary".

Unfortunately, although the Sherman Act was introduced after much hardship, as the ‘G23’ became stronger, the Sherman Act gradually lost its effectiveness. Because once a certain oligarch is split or severely punished, it will usher in a strong earthquake in American society. And the American consortium in the current “G23” is the culprit that obstructed the birth of the “Sherman Act”, or in other words, they are the real behind-the-scenes manipulators who plotted to assassinate President Lincoln.

Gulp swallowed his saliva. Director Mueller was really shocked. This fact is too amazing. If there is evidence, and it is said that Rockefeller and Morgan hired someone to kill President Lincoln, I am afraid that the United States will really be in chaos. But think about it carefully, the Morgan family was established in 1835, and the greatest figure J.P. Morgan was born in 1837. In 1865, he was only 28 years old, and it was time to show his strength. He did make a lot of money in the Civil War, and for the first time realized what the benefits of monopoly are.

Rockefeller, founder 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 sweetness of monopoly during the Civil War.

There are also Mellon Group and DuPont Group, whose founders started their wonderful lives at about the same age. And they all realized the truth that monopoly brings absolute benefits. At this time, Lincoln wanted to fight against monopoly, and they naturally disagreed. And Lincoln was also an extremely stubborn person who never compromised.

Therefore, Lincoln had no choice but to die.

And what does all this have to do with Bush repeatedly letting Lin Feng go? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
