My family visited Gettysburg when I was only 8 or so, I think I was a bit young to really grasp why we were there in the first place. I remember my Dad trying to impress upon me at least the gravity of what had happened there; where my young self saw open green fields, my Dad saw the battle. After watching that video I feel a sense of completion, 50 years after I saw the place.

This is what Thomas DiLorenzo talks about in The Real Lincoln.

Capitalism & Slavery, by Eric Williams, 1944, is essential reading for understanding when the British created the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and why they ended it. Jesse James United States Senator, by A. Ralph Epperson, reveals when and how John Wilkes Booth really died. I forget the reference, but McKinley's assassin was a Filipino disgruntled by McKinley's Army massacring Filipino Muslims during the Philippine–American War, a war to open markets for US manufactured goods.

The 14th Amendment didn't end slavery, it extended it to all but the empowered.

What is the difference between federated slavery and unfederated slavery?

Are you aware that both the Federal Reserve and the IRS are NGOs?

I’m contrasting "Federated slavery" with "unfederated slavery." By this, I mean uneven control, where different individuals or groups experienced varying degrees of subjugation depending on local circumstances. The Federal Reserve, by managing currency and interest rates, embeds debt into every dollar in circulation. By statute, the stockholders of the Federal Reserve remain unknown, and the IRS guarantees that individuals continually pay into this system, effectively ensuring that interest payments flow to those hidden stakeholders. NGO / not-NGO doesn't seem to matter as it all seems to ignore Article I, Section 8, Clause 5.

The Federal Reserve Note is intrinsically an instrument of debt, being a "Note."

The Federal Reserve doesn't have stockholders, not being publicly traded. The Federal Reserve System is owned by its member banks, all of which have boards.

The Federal Reserve is not a government agency, being listed as a business in telephone directories, where they still exist. Walk into a Federal Reserve branch bank and it won't be hard to find an official who will admit that they are a private corporation and not a government agency. NGOs don't follow Article I, Section 8, Clause 5.
