“Either the application for renewal of the charter (for the First Bank of the United States) is granted, or the United States will find itself involved in a most disastrous war.”

I'm not quite sure how to rate this. Depressions, inflation and war have all been caused and funded by the various central banks. The current occupying statist theocracy infesting this land is once again inflating the perception of money through its central bank.

Was this a threat?
