Stressing the Fourteenth Amendment was about freed black slaves is like paying particular attention to a knight on the chessboard.

Perhaps the propagandist know that it would obscure revelation...perhaps not unlike being encouraged to seek your way out of a dense forest by getting on your knees and using a magnifying glass and of course to not look up at any time.

More about banking....

The Bank of North America was chartered on December 31, 1781 by the Congress of the Confederation and opened on January 7, 1782, at the prodding of Superintendent of Finance Robert Morris, and was rechartered in 1784. This was thus the first modern United States bank. It was succeeded by the First Bank of the United States.

...

Robert Morris deposited large quantities of gold and silver coin and bills of exchange obtained through loans from the Netherlands and France. He then issued new paper currency backed by this supply. He also managed to meet the interest rates on the debt which he estimated to be about thirty million dollars. The Bank of North America along with the First Bank of the United States and The Bank of New York obtained the first shares in the New York Stock Exchange.

...{the Bank of North America} continues to operate under national bank charter #1, presently held by Wachovia Bank, N.A.. Wachovia still operates a branch at the northwest corner of 6th and Chestnut in Philadelphia, which was the original site of the Bank of North America. This branch is the longest continuously operating branch bank in the United States, operating in that location since 1781.
