Dred Scott Case AND IT"S EFFECT ON THE K.G.C.

[L.C. BAKER]

In March of 1857, the United States Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, declared that all blacks -- slaves as well as free -- were not and could never become citizens of the United States. The court also declared the 1820 Missouri Compromise unconstitutional, thus permitting slavery in all of the country's territories.
K.G.C. officials (Supreme Knights) traveled for weeks to attend this trial, it is one of the ways we identified one of the Knights that we uncovered. If you suspect someone in your local 1857 legislature of being in the K.G.C. and can obtain his travel records, see if they traveled to St.Luis during the trial. The Supreme Court ruling was handed down on March 6, 1857, just two days after Buchanan's inauguration.
Perhaps the most immediate business consequence of the decision was to help trigger the Panic of 1857. Uncertainty about whether the entire West would suddenly become either slave territory or engulfed in combat like Bleeding Kansas immediately gripped the markets. The east/west railroads collapsed immediately (although north/south-running lines were unaffected), causing, in turn, the near-collapse of several large banks and the runs that ensued. What followed these runs has been called the Panic of 1857.
Was the country in the clutches of the Knights of the Golden Circle in 1857?

Transcontinental Railroad

A route could not be decided on, Congress was split along geographical lines; northerners wanted a northern route and southerners wanted a southern route. This was because of the issue of slavery in the "New West". Since the "New West" really was new, there really wasn't any slavery there yet.

The railroad surveying teams finished in autumn of 1854. The results of their research was reviewed by the Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis of Mississippi. He concluded that the southern route, running through the newly purchased Gadsden lands, would be the most cost-effective.......... Just what one would expect the future president of the Confederacy to say. Jefferson Davis, of course, had vested Southern interests. The Gadsden Purchase was made by President Franklin Pierce, an always suspected but now known Knight of the K.G.C.
The Pacific Railroad Act, 1862
CHAP. CXX. An Act to aid in the Construction of a Railroad and Telegraph Line from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean, and to secure to the Government the Use of the same for Postal, Military, and Other Purposes.
If the South was heading to secession, they new how important the rails and telegraph were to an Army. As they were slowly loosing control of the U.S. Government, the K.G.C. was digging their claws in deep and leaving what control they could keep in place. Hence the Copperheads were born, and with their continued government influence they tried to do everything they could to help the Southern Cause.

Contrary to popular belief, Political sabotage in 1800's included far more vicious things than voter fraud. The Knights of the Golden Circle were doing everything humanly possible to achieve their goals. Here are some of the K.G.C.'s tactics that you may or may not know about.
1) Control of the United States Postal Routes by placement of Post Masters / etc. this kept the Rebel mail flowing during the War. It also let the k.G.C. handle the mail being sent to Yankees, which for some reason ran a lot slower and got lost sometimes.
2) Control of local governments Sheriffs, Judges, District Attorney, Associate Justices, Chief Justices, Mayors, Surveyors, etc. etc. etc. This allowed them to right the laws and enforce the laws as they seen fit, on who ever they chose for what ever reason. They also levied fines and collect revenue. $$$$$$ like collecting taxes and altering returns to the U.S. Government and diverting those funds into the rebellion. This was a big help when they had to kill some abolitionists that moved into their town.....for some good reason they came up with and then dispose of the bodies without a big hassle from the local law enforcement.(who were members) It also aloud them to create, to the best of their abilities, a slave owning, Southern rights loving, "Democratic" communities in many northern states.
3) Control of railroads. This allowed them to amass huge amounts of land through U.S. Government land grants. It also gave them inside information from Lincoln's cabinet (Copperheads) on where those rails were heading before they got there so they could buy up that land (one way or another) and build towns and cities, sell lots (land speculation) which meant alot more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for the good of the cause. (Southern cause...REBELLION of 1861) It was money that continued to flow for many years to come.

I could go on, but I will stop there and let you guys mall that over for a while. Let me know what you think!

The K.G.C. had a vested interest in the Dred Scott case. It would effect bringing slaves into Nebraska Territory and they wanted that very much. Perhaps by placing funds in the right palms of justice they effected the outcome of that decision. I do have proof that S.F. Nuckolls was gathering as much cash as he could lay his hands on to take with him to St. Luis during the Dred Scott trial. Stephen Nuckolls instructs his brother Huston Nuckolls to collect and gather as much cash as he can to be picked up on his way to St. Luis on the 24th of Feb 1857. The Dred Scott decision was made by Roger B. Taney on March 6th, 1857. Just wanted to add this evidence to this thread as I believe it adds credibility to the accusation that the K.G.C. may have sent their money man to sway that decision in any way he could . Lets not forget how S.F. Nuckolls gathered money from southern supporters in Colorado to take with him to help support the K.G.C.'s cause in the fall of 1865.

Mull it over, INDEED! DYK? Baltimore, Md. SOUTH to Virginia was "COPPERHEAD Country"; JWB was a member of the KGC CASTLE up there... COPPERHEADS were also known as "PEACE Democrats" for STATE RIGHTS... STOP THE WAR!

Yes Rebel, that is all good R&I The K.G.C. came to the west from the east coast States especially your home state of Virginia where S.F. Nuckolls and his family as well as Ben Ficklin hailed from. Baltimore was the sight for a projected hit on Abe Lincoln that was narrowly avoided by Alan Pinkerton diverting Lincoln from stopping in that city. The K.G.C. controlled the police force there and Pinkerton knew it. The copperheads were also called Butternuts and dough faces!

L.C. the only time I believe that Alan Pinkerton was really lucky. He lost badly every time he or his agents came up against the James boys Frank and Jesse.
