Join revisionist author Joseph P. Farrell for a look at the money war between the Union government and the Confederacy. A rialto is a market or place of exchange, and in THE RIALTO IN RICHMOND:  The Money War Between the States and Other Mysteries of the Civil War, Farrell examines the Confederate and Union monetary systems, the flight of the Confederate President Jefferson Davis at the end of the war, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and more. Why did Confederate President Jefferson Davis never stand trial for treason, in spite of being in federal custody for two years after the War Between the States had ended, and in spite of being implicated in the conspiracy that murdered Union President Abraham Lincoln? How deep and wide was the conspiracy behind that death? Were the players all Southern partisans, or were there much more deeply hidden players? Who was Abraham Lincoln’s “dad”? What did money and finance have to do with all of it, and where did all that alleged missing Confederate silver and gold disappear to? How did the South and North finance their war efforts, and what were the differences and similarities between their systems? Was subsequent American financial history related to them? Why did Davis flee Richmond with the purpose of continuing the war, and why did he think he even could? Was the Confederate President’s flight from Richmond just the act of a desperate man? Or was it really a nineteenth century version of a Continuity of Government operation? Join alternative author and researcher Joseph P. Farrell in a fascinating exploration of these and other deep and abiding questions that survived the American War Between the States. December 17 Publication. Pre-Order Now!
