The Astor, Guggenheim and Straus, the most powerful bankers
of the time, were strong supporters of the first article of the constitution
and were against the establishment of a central bank. Instead, the
Rockefellers, Morgan and Rothschild pushed for the establishment of a private
central bank. Oddly enough, the bankers who opposed the establishment of a
central bank (the Astor, Guggenheim and Straus) died on April 15th,
1912 in the sinking of the Titanic, the largest ocean liner in service at the
time.
