"Think about the future, the future is in your choice! What good can the poor ghosts of the north give you? What benefits do participating in the Underground Railroad sport give you for your ideals? Sheffield turned his thinking into a VIP political commissar, and let Thomas's conscience go further and further away, "Your friend is dead, you are a prisoner!" That's what the Underground Railroad movement brings to you, and you end up working in the factories in exchange for a meager wage, which can only fill your belly! You have to endure the turbid air and watch the boss's eyes live! But with me it's completely different, we Southern slave owners have untold wealth at our disposal, endless money, lavish estates, the best products, and if you listen to me, you can enjoy everything that slave owners have in the future! As for the woman, you can smash her closed legs with money, as long as you listen to me......"

"I listen to you......" is not that Sheffield's words were fruitful and had an immediate effect on Thomas, but that they were speaking from the fact that the life of the southern slave owners was indeed much better than that of the rising factory owners in the north, and that they did not have to work on their own. The enormous wealth in the hands of the slave owners was what really moved Thomas, not what Sheffield said. If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't be able to do it even if he was a real commissar.

To persecute Thomas to be a traitor, to brand the slave owner, and to have Thomas kill the members of the Underground Railroad, all for one purpose, that is, to completely break with the North and become the person in his own hands. He needs to implant a nail in the north, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have an identity, he can develop slowly! More than a decade later, it may become a boost to the Civil War.

Sheffield is not doing things on the head, if you spread out the map of the United States, you will find that all the states that are valuable in the United States today are just those, and the vast Midwest is actually not of much value, and there are not many people there! The main theater of the Civil War was also east of the Mississippi River, and the Midwest had little power to devote to the war.

If the map of the United States is divided into two forces, slave owners and capitalists, it is easier to distinguish from the map, the essence of the Northern Free State is the industrial area around the Wudalian Lake, and from the point of view of the march route, whether the main battlefield of the war is on the Western Front in the Mississippi River Valley or in the main battlefield in Virginia, there are two states that will always be in the middle of the hub, that is, Indiana and Illinois.

The two states can take into account the two battlefields of the eastern and western fronts, and these two states were originally part of the Wudalianhu Industrial Zone, and it is believed that they will bear a lot of logistics for the northern army, and Thomas, who has become a big factory owner at that time, can do some things that the capitalists like to see according to Sheffield's instructions, such as diarrhea after eating the canned food supplied to the northern army, or direct food poisoning! The gauze provided to the wounded soldiers of the Northern Army itself carries germs, and when entangled, it is crippled! What an interesting thing it was to provide Sheffield with some routes for the Northern Army or something. There was a fifth column lurking in the enemy's place, which was more useful than the Confederate army with one more corps of troops.

"According to my calculations, and the economic situation of the Underground Railroad that you are talking about! You poor ghosts with my black slaves, in a state of hiding, you can't get out of Louisiana for half a month! "Thomas, who had completely fallen over to the side of the slave owners and had become a shameful traitor, told all he knew about the Underground Railroad in Louisiana. The information that came out became a factor for Sheffield to consider in his calculations, "I can't even afford a horse, and I came to be a thief?" Don't think about how to escape, let's see if I've been caught now......"

Sheffield's vicious language, Thomas's side seems to be unaware, he has betrayed the last bit of conscience, and has already regarded himself as a part of the slave owners' side, as for the friends of the Underground Railway? It's just a little memory that pays the price for youthful ignorance.

"Merciful masters, it is true that those poor ghosts who do not measure themselves have no brains, and I now realize how ridiculous what they are doing!" Thomas's face echoed Sheffield's taunt as usual.

At this time, Thomas's mentality has completely changed, he is no longer an adventurous member of the Underground Railroad, and after being severely educated by reality, his mentality has changed, and the process of transformation is natural, as if he should stand with the slave owner.

"Well said, let's take a break here today! Tomorrow we're going to a place! Sheffield was so pleased with Thomas's answer that the other overseers arranged a room for him to stay in for the night.

"What is it, master?" Thomas asked as he helped Rice clean up.

"Taylor's Manor!" Sheffield said proudly, "The second largest slave owner in the state......"

Wilson Taylor ran the slave market, hated the Underground Railroad movement more than Sheffield, and had a long history of slave capture, Taylor's estate supported many brave thugs and overseers, and the Taylor family, who smuggled slaves all over the country and abroad, had more than ten times as many manpower as Sheffield plantations. Judging by the establishment of the Mexican-American War at this time, ten companies in a regiment are at best less than a thousand people, and once the Taylor family gets angry and all the people are dispatched, they can completely turn the thugs below into a regiment.

"The slave owners are so powerful, we really look like fools!" Listening to Sheffield's introduction, Thomas, who had rested for a day, repeatedly praised that the understanding of war in this era was not yet comprehensive, and such an understanding as general warfare had not yet appeared. Nor can anyone realize how terrible it is for industry to run at full strength in war. People can only see how terrible the enemy is on the surface, especially the United States, which is far from the European continent, has no advanced understanding.

"We don't have a strong force as a deterrent, dare to raise so many slaves?" Sheffield naturally boasted vigorously, "From Taylor's Manor to Henry's slave owner with only a few slaves!" We all have weapons in every house, and if there is a slave riot, the slave owners will rush over from all directions to kill the rebellious slaves! ”

Thomas nodded repeatedly, convinced of the apparent power of the South, and in a short time the two entered the castle.

"I asked John Caldwell to inform the families in the other cities, and tomorrow I will send a team to participate in the search, this time to unplug all the Underground Railroad strongholds in Louisiana! It's mainly up to our family, and the slave owners in other cities are responsible for sending people to block the escape routes, and they will definitely chase your fugitive slaves back! Wilson Taylor finished confidently, glanced at Thomas and asked, "Edward, who is this?" ”

"Captive of the Underground Railroad, he can help us catch the rest of us! Tomorrow will send the remaining overseers of the plantation out to act with Taylor Manor! Sheffield stared at Wilson Taylor and said word for word.

"Captives of the Underground Railroad?" Wilson Taylor's eyes narrowed, his tense face stretched out, and said, "Good job, let this person act together tomorrow!" ”

Sheffield patted Thomas on the shoulder and said to himself, "I'll give you a chance to live, and it's up to you tomorrow......"

"I'm going to kill the boss of the Underground Railroad in Louisiana with my own hands!" Thomas's fierce voice made Wilson Taylor look sideways, how much did he hate his comrades? The root is still in the little boy in front of him, I don't know what means Sheffield used to make Thomas turn the gun?

I don't think this book is as good as the one I wrote in the Soviet Union! Don't comfort me! Don't talk about hanging Alipay or something, I'm a novelwriter, and I earn money from subscriptions, but I'm not asking for food, understand? I wanted a map of the Civil War railroad network today, but I haven't found it yet! I'll go......
