did the U.S. borrow money from foreign banks during Civil War? Im still reading and researching but up until 1862-3 I dont see any foreign investors listed in many places I have looked. I even looked at practically a biography of Jay Cooke and other then two or three lines faintly hinting at “usurers and speculators” of Europe and how this was an evil & bad idea to borrow from overseas. Also France and England were hostile and the loans would have also been highly dangerous. I am speaking pre- and during the civil war, I haven’t gotten to post civil war and Lincolns assassination.

Before getting too wrapped up in details of the shadowy doing of bankers, one may want to take a look at Miles Mathis' analysis of Lincoln's Assassination (42-page PDF) showing that it was a hoax. Intelligence agents were running around all over the place. (Bonus: Booth was a gay Jewish actor! But then you already knew that last part.)
The point is to save some time, because you can really get caught up in a lot of details that ultimately lead nowhere. The reason for that is that if your historical framework is wrong, you'll never, ever be able to properly interpret and fit in the details.
Even in a very long paper, Mathis doesn't find time to mention that Harriet Tubman was an Intellligence agent, and that the Underground Railroad was some kind of op. Who knows what it's true nature was, or even the extent to which it existed. See how far down the hole we are?
thank you, Im intrigued. and yes there’s alot of b.s. Im sifting through.
Yes, this. There's a good reading of this paper on Bitchute called Abraham Lincoln was NEVER assassinated by Slaying Dragons (formerly Redline Aviator).
Jay Cooke Financier of the Civil War is the name of the book.
Keep us posted. Sounds interesting as fuck.
