Act 223 When the first fool(1/2)

"Are we really enslave black people?"

"They are slaves themselves!"

"Are we going to liberate them?"

"Why should I be liberated if I buy it for money?"

Sheffield, who had returned from the north, looked at the stubborn appearance of his former companion, and showed a look of disappointment on his face.

He was so disappointed with these foolish guys.

These people know everything, but don’t know anything.

They had no idea what was going on in the north!

Sheffield, who watched Doug's rise, returned to Texas, and wanted to open up her companions so that the south could change with each passing day as the north.

However, human beings have never been a creature that embraces changes.

Especially the younger generation growing up in the south, their surroundings were like this when they were young, and they still did this when they grew up. Therefore, they naturally believed that the world should look like this.

"Sheffield, you might have been brainwashed by the North! Why did you go to such a hell-like place? Why didn't you study in the UK?"

Sheffield's former companion raised several questions.

Among the mainstream thoughts in the south, the image of the north is not good, and it can even be said to be like a demon.

Because the people there don't regard people as human beings at all.

Even people of the same skin color have to work endlessly in the factory until they are exhausted and leave the world.

Isn’t it a devil who treats people like this?

And the south is much more civilized.

It only tortures black slaves.

Are black slaves considered humans?

Black slaves are not human.

A black man is not even worth a horse.

However, no matter how low the value of black people is, they are finally bought with money.

People should cherish things they spend money to buy more.

In addition, although the south has grown a large number of economic crops such as cotton, there is no shortage of food.

In this case, except for the heavy losses of slaves during the busy farming season, slaves will at least not starve to death in normal times.

And in the southerner's worldview, this is already very humane.

And in their opinion, those who say that they want to liberate black slaves are the unrealistic Virgin.

And, it is the kind of Virgin who laments the well-being of others.

Because, there may be hundreds of slaves in other people's homes.

And there will be no more than ten at Sheffield's house.

In fact, it was precisely for this reason that he went to the north instead of London to attend school.

Because his father's slave ship encountered a bad hurricane, the entire ship disappeared into the sea and never came back.

Sheffield's words of liberating black slaves were not credible at all, but more like giving up on himself.

So much so that his friends laughed at him while watching his jokes.

Sheffield also found that he and this group of former companions had no common language.

He took his only black follower who was following him on Friday, sitting on the Gobi desert hanging high on the coastline with his father's personal hair hanging on his face, looking at the endless sea.

This time he came back, he actually took on the "task".

Although he has not graduated from Yale Academy, he has already started working for Doug.

In fact, many Yale students are working for Doug now.

The top one, regardless of their profession, went to the financial department.

A little worse, I went to the media department.

The worst ones may go into manufacturing.

However, Doug was not very relieved about the manufacturing industry of those who grew up reading the Bible.

Before I can build a machine and it cannot operate normally, I will pray to God and it will operate normally.

There is no such truth at all.

Therefore, the Knight who works in media is the lowest level of Yale students.

Unfortunately, Sheffield is in this place.

His identity in the south gave Doug a task, which was to return to the south and promote the idea of ​​liberating slaves.

Unfortunately, although Doug knew that Sheffield was a southerner, he did not know that his father died because of transporting slaves.

Therefore, his promotion of liberating slaves is likely to be like a wailing dog.

Therefore, his actual work here is not much progress.

However, Doug did not place his hopes on him.

For Doug, it is necessary to initiate a war against the South.

Of course, he had to do his best to do his best for this necessary thing.

Moreover, he already felt that he had accumulated enough trump cards.

Whether it is the banking industry, the weapons manufacturing industry, the chemical manufacturing industry, or even beverages, once the war starts, they will be consumed continuously.

And this represents huge profits.

Therefore, he also began to lobby Lincoln and began to build momentum for the war against the Southern States.

However, Lincoln still had some doubts about this.

He is located in Washington, paces back and forth in the president's office.

Every time I walk to the table, I look at the letter above and want to sit down and reply, but I don’t know how to write it.

Lincoln, the legendary person who has run for president ten times, is he willing to be an ordinary president?

No, he is unwilling to give up.

He wanted to achieve something, and he wanted Americans in the future to remember themselves.

Therefore, he wants to do big things.

Of course he thought about the substantial unity of the north and the south.

However, there was another extremely serious question in his mind.

Is it too early to do it just as I became president?

Moreover, especially in the current situation where the northern economy is generally "poor" than the southern one.

Doug had already answered all his doubts in the letter one by one.

First of all, it is better to do something big than to do late.

Why?

Because if you do something big, if you don’t come, you will be troubled by countless trivial matters and will eventually have no chance to do it again.

As for the economy in the north is worse than that in the south, are you afraid that you will not win?

This is not a problem either.

No matter how much money is in the south, how many weapons can they buy from overseas?

No matter how small the capital is, along the Great Lakes, there are even more coal mines and iron ore.

Coal and iron can be directly turned into weapons, but can money?

Moreover, the north now has a huge advantage, which is the railway.

You can transport the soldiers to the front line as soon as possible.

As for the reason for attacking the South?

Doug has already found it.

Under some bent letter paper, there are thick stacks of documents, and the head of the document reads the "Declaration on the Liberation of Black Slaves".

Lincoln took office as the president of the United States federal government, ruled the South and the North legally.

As for the reason for "liberation of black slaves", except for the southerners themselves, even their trade monarch, Britain, had nothing to say.

Because, this is a kind of "absolute justice".

Faced with such a war, Britain could not even help the United States and the South with great fanfare, and even deliberately avoid suspicion.
