Northern bankers started Civil War to keep the South from becoming a new Israel & take over the cotton business. Albert Pike influenced Congress to pass higher & higher taxes on cotton with none of the tax money helping the South.. The income tax was & is another form of slavery to force the working class to pay for wars the rich bankers started.
