A chapter of Anthony Sutton's The Federal Reserve Conspiracy is entitled Abraham Lincoln: Last President to Fight the Money Power.

Corporate lawyer

During his early career, Lincoln became affluent as a corporate lawyer for railroad interests.[1]. Lincoln worked as a lobbyist for the Illinois Central Railroad, assisting it in getting a charter from the state, and thereafter he was retained as a regular attorney for that railroad. During the late 1850s Lincoln received more in fees from that carrier than from any other single client, and he was closely associated with the Illinois Central until his election to the presidency.[2] He also handled cases for other railroads and for banks, insurance companies, and mercantile and manufacturing firms.[3]

Assassination

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated at a theatre, which might have been a conspiracy arranged by his Secretary of War, Edward Stanton. [Citation Needed]

Legacy

Towards the end of his presidency, JFK spoke often of Abraham Lincoln, who inspired him as a model of resistance to the US deep state. On the day when JFK resolved the Cuban Missile Crisis he told his brother, RFK, "this is the night I should go to the theatre", referring to Lincoln's assassination. His brother replied "if you go, I want to go with you".[4]
