The Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC) was a secret society established in the late 19th century and operated between Canada and southern US states.
The original objective of the KGC was to annex a golden circle of territories in Mexico, Central America, northern South America, and Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean for inclusion in the United States as slave states.
As anti-slavery agitation increased after the Dred Scott Decision was issued, the members proposed a separate confederation of slave states, with US states south of the Mason-Dixon line to secede and to align with other slave states to be formed from the golden circle. In either case, the goal was to increase the power of the Southern slave-holding upper class to such a degree that it could never be dislodged.
During the American Civil War, some Southern sympathizers in the Northern states such as Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa, were accused of belonging to the Knights of the Golden Circle, and in some cases they were imprisoned for their activities.
Too bad, the plan failed and will never happen.
Southern proponents for modern day slavery claim they have restored the KGC and have the cache of gold and money which was stolen by Jesse James who is purported to have been stealing from the Union trains to give to the KGC.
John Wilkes Booth, the dude who killed president Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865, was an inducted member of the society and had plotted a massive scheme to capture 3 top government leaders and kill them publicly in Canada. The modern day confederates claim that Booth was not the person killed in the barn by the feds and that he lived out his days in Canada.
No one knows these claims to be fact but the delusional KKK racists believe the offspring of both Jesse James and John Wilkes Booth are now aligning to execute the plan to re-instate slavery.
Such a high level of stupidity!
