''The silver standard did not die a natural death. It was deliberately killed. A proper search for the assassins was never carried out. There was never a post-mortem.
In this paper we focus on the conspiracy as it might have unfolded
between the two dates: April 9, 1865 (the day General Lee of the
Confederacy surrendered at Appomattox to General Grant of the Union
marking the end of the War Between the States) and January 1, 1879
(Resumption Day, when payment of the victorious Union’s currency, the
greenback was resumed in gold specie ̶ but not in silver).''
