Answer 2

It was because of states rights. The south wanted to be able to control what they did by state or states the north wanted a federalist government. The only reason the North won was because of the Russian Navy blockades, and we paid them for the Alaskan purchase. Out of this great war the bankers then as in today made the money as in every war. interesting fact is that Lincoln was going to do away with the Federal Reserve as John Kennedy was. Both were shot, because of it. Why you may ask. Well the federal reserve and the FDIC are not owned by the federal government check their charter. The world bank owns them so the USA has to buy their money from a foreign printer and the printer is making money based on what? So out of the civil war we get this great federal government that's sucks and its tied to the world bank. Please dont believe me pick up books and read and decide for your self.
