It is no wonder or coincidence that the women's suffrage movement (pre-cursor to feminist movement) culminated in the midst of the Federal Reserve's initial 20 year charter. This was a two pronged attack upon a nation and society whose prosperity and success was attributed to the adherence to morality from on high. The attack was upon the rightful headship of the male/husband in order for him to be weakened via debasement of the nation's currency and debasement of the male's position and standing in society and in his house.

James Madison, the chief architect of the U.S. Constitution, said: “We have staked the whole future of the American civilization … upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves . . . according to the Ten Commandments of God” (Benjamin Hart, Faith & Freedom—The Christian Roots Of American Liberty , Lewis and Stanley, Dallas, TX, 1988, p. 18).

Abraham Lincoln, while calling for a national day of fasting and prayer during the American Civil War, said: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God . . . And we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own . . . It behooves us, then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness” (William J. Federer, America's God And Country Encyclopedia of Quotations , Fame Publishing, Coppell, Tex., pp. 383-384).

That same American president mentioned in a personal letter to an elderly lady in September of 1862. “Yet we cannot but believe that he who made the world still governs it” ( The Life and Writings of Abraham Lincoln , Random House, New York, 1940, pp. 727-728).
