Merely Karma.<p>Yes it was nearly two centuries in coming, but it&#x27;s karma just the same.<p><i>Some American merchants entered the trade by smuggling opium from Turkey into China, including Warren Delano Jr., the grandfather of twentieth-century American President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Francis Blackwell Forbes; in American historiography this is sometimes referred to as the Old China Trade.[9] By 1833, the Chinese opium trade soared to 30,000 chests.[7]</i> - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Opium_Wars" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Opium_Wars</a>
