American Terrorism - A Retrospective.
Years after the civil war was over and soldiers returned to the South, the Southern Capitalists hired James Wilkes Booth to assassinate Abraham Lincoln because he broke their inhumane economic model. It wasnt about hatred of blacks, it was about money. This is the scariest part of our current economic mess. We recognize that a minority elite control the country. they tell us what is legal and allowed, just like post Civil War Black Codes that were enacted in the South during reconstruction.
The Southern Capitalists then leveraged hatred, racism, bigotry, fear, and intolerance to inspire massacres and scare tactics. They were the first American terrorists.
