Caribbean slave revolts, leaders of the Cabot, Lowell, Higginson, Forbes,
Cushing, and Sturgis families had married Perkins siblings and children.
The Perkins opium syndicate made the fortune and established the power of
these families, under the direct protection of the British navy and British
imperial finance. By the 1830s, the Russells had bought out the Perkins
syndicate and made Connecticut the primary center of the U.S. opium racket.
Massachusetts families (Coolidge, Sturgis, Forbes, and Delano) joined
Connecticut (Alsop) and New York (Low) smuggler-millionaires under the
Russell (and British) auspices....
Samuel and William Huntington Russell were quiet, wary builders of their
faction's power. An intimate colleague of opium gangster Samuel Russell
wrote this about him:
"While he lived no friend of his would venture to mention his name in
print. While in China, he lived for about twenty-five years almost as a
hermit, hardly known outside of his factory [the Canton warehouse compound]
except by the chosen few who enjoyed his intimacy, and by his good friend,
Hoqua [Chinese security director for the East India Company], but studying
commerce in its broadest sense, as well as its minutest details. Returning
home with well-earned wealth he lived hospitably in the midst of his
family, and a small circle of intimates. Scorning words and pretensions
from the bottom of his heart, he was the truest and staunchest of friends;
hating notoriety, he could always be absolutely counted on for every good
work which did not involve publicity."
The Russells' Skull and Bones Society was the most important of their
domestic projects "which did not involve publicity."
... Yale was the northern college favored by southern slaveowning would-be
aristocrats. Among Yale's southern students were John C. Calhoun, later the
famous South Carolina defender of slavery against nationalism, and Judah P.
Benjamin, later secretary of state for the slaveowners' Confederacy....
In 1832-33, Skull and Bones was launched under the Russell pirate flag.
Among the early initiates of the order were Henry Rootes Jackson (S&B
1839), a leader of the 1861 "Georgia" Secession Convention and post-Civil
War president of the Georgia Historical Society; ... John Perkins, Jr. (S&B
1840), chairman of the 1861 "Louisiana" Secession Convention;... and
William Taylor Sullivan Barry (S&B 1841), a national leader of the
secessionist wing of the Democratic Party during the 1850s, and chairman of
the 1861 "Mississippi" Secession Convention.
Alphonso Taft was a Bonesman alongside William H. Russell in the Class of
1833. As U.S. attorney general in 1876-77, Alphonso Taft helped organize
the backroom settlement of the deadlocked 1876 presidential election. The
bargain gave Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency (1877-81) and withdrew the
U.S. troops from the South, where they had been enforcing blacks' rights.
Alphonso's son, William Howard Taft (S&B 1878), was U.S. President from
1909 to 1913. President Taft's son, Robert Alphonso Taft (S&B 1910), was a
leading U.S. senator after World War II; his family's Anglo-Saxon
racial/ancestral preoccupation was the disease which crippled Robert Taft's
leadership of American nationalist "conservatives."
