Chapter 441

As president, Zachary Taylor never hesitated to give up his own interests and resolutely resist the expansion of slavery in the United States.

Obviously, his position and decision-making not only hurt his own interests, but also made him stand on the opposite side of other slave owners of southern plantations.

In this case, the slaveholders whose interests have been harmed have reason to eliminate their huge "obstacles", and they do have the strength!

However, Chen Mo's answer was somewhat unexpected.

"Your fellow countrymen do have this idea, but before they can do it, they are preempted by others."

Zachary Taylor was stunned to hear Chen Mo's words.

Not them? Other people?

He had only been president for more than a year, and so many people wanted his life. This made Zachary Taylor feel a little sad, and his mood began to become complicated.

In fact, it's not just the slave owners of the South who offended Zachary Taylor, who is upright and tough, when he was president.

On July 29, 1844, the British Parliament passed the peel regulation, which established the status of the Bank of England as a currency issuing bank. The bank, which is controlled by the private sector, officially became the National Central Bank of England, responsible for implementing national monetary and financial policies such as currency issuance and financial supervision.

In any country, whoever controls the money supply is the absolute master of all industries and businesses.

In this regard, the British economy has been dominated by bankers.

The goal of international bankers is obviously not just Britain. The United States, once a British colony, has become a fat meat in the eyes of bankers since the beginning of independence.

International bankers have always hoped to establish a private American Central Bank in the United States to seek benefits. They have planned and operated for many years, and have successfully established the private central bank twice, but failed to maintain it for a long time under the intervention of the president and Congress.

But international bankers will not give up. As powerful capitalists, they have strong political power in their hands, which is why they have been able to successfully establish private US central bank twice.

The establishment of private central bank is imperative. In the face of huge interests and rights, any people and forces standing in front of them will be wiped out!

Whether it's the congressman or the president!

Even William Henry Harrison, who was also a war hero and the ninth president before him, died suddenly a month after he took office. He was closely related to these international bankers.

Among them, the Whig leader Henry Clay plays an extremely important role.

He is the first private central bank in the United States, the founder of "the first bank of the United States", one of the founding fathers of the United States, the important successor of Alexander Hamilton's private central bank thought, and the favorite of the bankers.

He was eloquent, thoughtful and motivational. He gathered around him a group of legislators who supported the banking industry and were supported by bankers, and formed the Whig Party under his organization.

The Whigs are firmly opposed to President Jackson's independent banking policy and have always been committed to restoring the private central bank system.

William Henry Harrison was chosen as the presidential candidate by him. He wanted to use his hand to establish the private central bank and "taught" Harrison how to manage politics many times.

But William Henry Harrison was obviously not willing to be his puppet. After Harrison was elected president, the contradiction between the two became increasingly acute.

Henry Clay, who thought he could give orders as "crown prince", had already found someone to write the president's inaugural address without Harrison's consent, but Harrison refused. Harrison also drafted more than 8000 words of his inaugural address.

In this paper, he systematically expounds the idea of governing the country, which is contrary to Henry Clay's idea of private central bank and the policy of abolishing independent finance, thus deeply hurting the interests of bankers.

It was a cold day on March 4, 1841, when President Harrison delivered his inaugural speech in the cold wind, and he suffered from the cold.

This is not a big deal for the military career of President Harrison. Who knows that his illness is getting worse and worse, and he died on April 4.

By 1849, when war hero Zachary Taylor, also chosen by the Whigs, was elected, the hope of restoring the central bank seemed close.

It is the highest dream of all bankers to set up a private central bank that is completely similar to the Bank of England model, which means that bankers ultimately determine the fate of the country and the people.

They thought that the soldiers would have a good control over political affairs and become the puppet of Henry Clay by relying on their military achievements, prestige and their power to be elected.

Obviously, however, their wishful thinking failed again.

Zachary Taylor, like William Henry Harrison, has his own ideas and insistence. He is not willing to be Henry Clay's puppet.Zachary Taylor's negative attitude towards the establishment of the central bank was made clear in private.

"The idea of setting up a central bank is dead set. I will not consider it in my term of office."

It turned out that it wasn't the central bank's decision, it was himself.

Two presidents born of war heroes launched by the Whig party were killed successively.

Their death seems to be normal and irrelevant, but there are many doubts and mysteries in the deep research, and there are some hidden internal relations.

Listening to Chen Mo's account of the causes and consequences of the whole thing, Zachary Taylor only felt cold in her heart.

What he didn't expect was that it wasn't the southern slave owners that killed him, but the Whig party that nominated him as the presidential candidate, or, to be precise, Henry Clay, the Whig party leader, and the bankers behind him. After all, the Whig party didn't support the establishment of a private central bank.

Zachary Taylor could not help feeling angry at the thought that the lives of two American presidents had been played by a group of bankers, but it was accompanied by a deep sadness.

This world, after all, is a capitalist world. Behind these presidents are various forces. However, he chose six relatives not to recognize them, put the national interests first, and ignored Henry Clay's demands. As a result, he got the end of this situation, and was killed by the bankers whose demands were not realized.

Even if there are no bankers, there are other capitalists, factory owners, farmers, slave owners to control the United States.
