"Are we really enslaving black people?"

"They're slaves themselves!"

"Are we going to free them?"

"Why emancipate what you spend money on?"

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

He was so disappointed in these ignorant fellows.

These people know everything at all and don't understand anything.

They simply don't know what's going on in the north!

Sheffield, who watched Doug's rise almost at zero distance, returned to Texas, wanting to civilize his companions here, so that the south could change with each passing day like the north.

However, human beings have never been creatures that embrace change.

Especially the younger generation who grew up in the south, the environment around them when they were children was like this, and they still grew up like this, so they naturally think that the world should be like this.

"Sheffield, you must have been brainwashed by the North! Why did you go to that hellish place? Why didn't you go to England to study in the first place?"

Sheffield's erstwhile companion threw out a couple of questions.

Among the mainstream trends of thought in the South, the image of the North is not good, and it can even be said that it looks like a demon.

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

Even people of the same skin color have to work endlessly in factories until they are exhausted, until they leave this world.

Isn't it a devil to treat your fellow citizens like this?

And the south, it is much more civilized.

It was only the torture of black slaves.

Are black slaves human?

Black slaves are not considered human.

A black man is not even worth as much as a horse.

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

People should cherish the things they spend money on.

In addition, although cotton and other cash crops are cultivated in large quantities in the south, there is no shortage of food.

In this case, except during the busy farming season, when the loss of slaves was greater, in normal times, the slaves at least did not starve to death.

And in the worldview of the southerners, this is already very humane.

And Sheffield, who kept saying that he wanted to free the black slaves, was, in their eyes, an unrealistic Virgin.

And, the kind of Mother who cares for the well-being of others.

Because, someone else's family may have hundreds or thousands of slaves.

And the Sheffield family, no more than ten in any case.

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

Because, his father's slave ship encountered a bad hurricane, and the whole ship disappeared into the sea, never to return.

Sheffield's words about the emancipation of black slaves have no credibility, more like self-abandonment with broken bricks.

So much so that his friends, while laughing at him, were there to watch his jokes.

Sheffield also found that he and his former companions had no common language.

He sat high on the Gobi Desert on the shoreline with Friday, the only black attendant he was with, wearing an amulet woven by his father's own hand from unknown hair, looking out at the endless sea.

When he came back this time, he actually took over the "mission".

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

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

The top, regardless of major, went to the financial sector.

Slightly worse, went to the media department.

The worst ones are likely to go to manufacturing.

However, Doug was not very comfortable with these people who grew up reading the Bible and engaged in manufacturing.

Don't wait for a machine to work properly, just pray to God and it will work normally.

There is no such reason at all.

Therefore, the knight who engages in the media is the lowest level of Yale students.

It's a pity that Sheffield is in this gear.

And his Southern identity allowed Doug to give him a mission, which was to return to the South and promote the idea of emancipating slaves.

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

Therefore, his propaganda of emancipation of slaves is most likely like the wailing of a defeated dog.

As a result, his actual work here has not progressed much.

However, Doug didn't put his hopes only on him.

For Doug, starting a war against the South was a must.

For this necessary thing, of course, he has to do his best.

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

Whether it's banking, or arms manufacturing, or chemical manufacturing, or even beverages, once the war starts, it will be consumed in a steady stream.

And this, on behalf of huge profits.

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

However, Lincoln still had some doubts.

In Washington, D.C., he paced back and forth in the office belonging to the president.

Every time I walked to the table, I had to glance at the letter on it, and I wanted to sit down and reply, but I didn't know how to put it down.

Was Lincoln, the man who is said to have run for president ten times, willing to be an ordinary president?

No, he was not reconciled.

He wants to make some achievements, and he wants future Americans to remember him.

Therefore, he wants to do big things.

Of course, he thought about the substantive reunification of the north and the south.

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

It's just that I just became president, isn't it too early to do this?

Moreover, especially now that the economy of the North as a whole is "poorer" than that of the South.

And all his doubts, Doug has answered them one by one in the letter.

First of all, it is better to do a big thing sooner rather than later.

Why?

Because, if you do big things if you don't come, you will be troubled by countless trivial things, and in the end you will not have the opportunity to do it again.

As for the economy, the North is worse than the South, afraid that it will not win?

That's not a problem either.

No matter how much money the South has, how many weapons can they buy from overseas?

No matter how little money is in the north. The shores of the Great Lakes are dotted with coal and iron mines.

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

Moreover, now the North also has a huge advantage, that is, railways.

It is possible to transport soldiers to the front line as soon as possible.

As for the reason for attacking the South?

Doug has already found it.

Beneath the somewhat crooked letterhead, there was a thick pile of documents with the words "Emancipation Proclamation" on the letterhead.

Lincoln was inaugurated as president of the U.S. federal government, and de jure ruled the North and the South.

And the reason for the "emancipation of black slaves" has nothing to say except for the southerners themselves, and even their trading suzerain, Britain.

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

In the face of such a war, Britain could not even help the South of the United States in a big way, and even deliberately avoided suspicion.

Because, now Britain, has seen itself as an empire on which the sun never sets.

To be an excellent country, of course, it must be civilized.

Of course, this kind of superficial face also has a practical impact on them.

It is more convenient to publicize British leniency, save people with ulterior motives, publicize British support for slavery, and cause riots of those mobs.

However, even with Doug putting all these points in front of Lincoln, Lincoln was still hesitant.

Because, he has just become president.

He also wanted to taste more of the power in his hands.

But the taste of power is wonderful.

However, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness about the work he was exposed to.

The southern states, although nominally union states, are also union states.

However, they did not have the slightest reverence for him, the president of the United States and the federal government.

Even the annual tax that is attributable to the federal government, they dare not submit.

And the northern states, although relatively speaking, are more honest.

However, in the era of industrial products and insufficient consumption power, if taxes were tightened, enterprises would go bankrupt.

And at the time of the election, he made all kinds of promises.

Promises will change the status quo.

If he does nothing, within two months he will be spurned by all those who elected him, and ridiculed by all those who did not elect him.

Instead of being so entangled, do you want to?

Lincoln picked up the copy of the Emancipation Proclamation on the table and read it carefully.

After reading it, he made a decision......

……

While Lincoln was reading the Emancipation Proclamation, Sheffield was under the same starry sky and asked Friday, who had been with him, "Are you happy?"

The black slave was stupid, but he spoke good English on Friday, who had been with Sheffield for a long time.

"I'm blessed. ”

"Why are you happy? Don't you long for freedom?"

"Because Friday is always with you, you can be fed and clothed. Self...... What is that?"

Sheffield looked at a confused Friday, sighed and explained, "Freedom is to do whatever you want and do whatever you want." You don't have to give me orders, you don't have to follow me. You are free to live on your own minds. ”

"Those days...... I don't want to live on Friday. ”

"Why don't you want to do it?"

"Because, without your orders, Friday doesn't know what to do. Not following you, I don't know where to go on Friday. Where you are, Fridays are already blissful. "In the long darkness of the night, only a mouthful of snow-white teeth vibrated the air in the air.

Sheffield was not happy about Friday's "loyalty", but he didn't know what to say.

And this also made him think about a question, even if the black slaves were emancipated, could they really be free?

Originally, as the owner's belongings, their clothing and food came from the owner's provision.

And once they are liberated, once they are free, they will have nothing.

Even, there is no clothes to wear, no food to eat.

The terrible thing is that even if they want to grow their own food, there is no food for them to grow.

What if something like this really happens?

Even before Sheffield went to Yale, he regarded the house slaves around him as living people.

It's not respectful, but it's definitely not insulting.

Under these circumstances, Sheffield was more receptive to the idea of emancipation of black slaves than other Southerners.

And this is also the reason why he was able to temporarily give up his studies and come back to publicize.

However, he only thought it was good to free the black slaves, because if they were free, they would be free.

However, how to live after they are free is a question that suddenly came to his mind when he chatted with Friday today.

This question made him deeply suspicious.

But, as he thought about it, his mind drifted to a story that Doug had told.

"A long, long time ago, when New Haven was uninhabited, there were many wild animals.

They happily graze, happily eat, and happily fight each other.

But, all of a sudden, a group of bipedal walking creatures began to dominate the area.

Having taken the lead, they began to hunt and capture these wild animals.

When they had their fill, they kept the wild animals in captivity.

Wait for another hunger to eat.

Gradually, these captive wild animals were domesticated.

has given up the ability to survive in the wild, no longer able to run, no longer able to jump, only has one trait, that is, the growth of flesh and fast.

Suddenly, one day, a kind child, saw these poor domestic animals.

Released them.

However, they just went out in the morning, and by noon, they all ran back to their cages one by one.

Why?

Because, they have lost the ability to survive on their own without relying on humans in the wild.

They are used to the days when food falls from the sky and they sleep on their stomachs when they are finished.

They don't want the outside world, and they don't even feel that the outside world is good. ”

At the time, Sheffield thought it was just a simple story.

However, he now suddenly realized that the slaves, represented by Friday, were already such domesticated domestic animals.

At that time, Sheffield asked, "How do you turn these domestic animals back into wild animals?"

Doug's answer was, "Step by step." Let them relearn how to hunt in the wild. Feed is given to them less and less every day.

So that they are hungry and do not starve to death suddenly, so they can find food on their own.

Gradually, the beast's abilities were regained.

But would anyone really do that?"

Doug's final rhetorical question puzzled Sheffield for a long time.

He now suddenly realized that Doug was already alleging about the emancipation of black slaves.

Yes, if you are a big slave owner, can you bear to train the wildness of your domestic animals a little bit and let them return to nature?

No!

Of course not!

Those who do this are only fools!

However, Sheffield feels that someone must always be the first fool, so start with him!
