What do J.P. Morgan's actions during the Civil War suggest about him?
While very educated and cultured, J.P. Morgan acted unethically during the Civil War. First,
during the Hall Carbine Affair, Morgan engaged in war profiteering by buying 5000 rifles from a
Federal Arsenal for $3.50 each and reselling them to a Union general needing them for combat
for $22.00 each. In addition, Morgan bought his way out of combat by paying a substitute $300
to fight and possibly die in his place. These actions suggest that Morgan was a shrewd deal
maker. They also suggest that, at least in the early part of his life, he placed profit and self-
interest above fair deals and concern for his fellow man.
