Chapter 50: The Ku Klux Klux Klan
The next day Sheffield gave Thomas a horse, and the traitor of the Underground Railroad went on his way with three hundred dollars from the slave owner, which was already quite a lot, and a sturdy slave was less than three hundred dollars.
Sheffield watched his captives leave, and it took a long time before he said, "Call another traitor, I should talk to him!" "Eggs can't always be in one basket, Sheffield has to prepare for both, in fact, there is another Yankee who was kept by Sheffield, and even Thomas doesn't know.
This person Sheffield was not imprisoned with much fanfare, except for himself, only Westin knew, he not only left Thomas a traitor as a tentacle to reach north, through the conversation Sheffield felt that the one left behind actually had more development potential, not only had a certain amount of insight, but could lay a good foundation in Indiana.
Thomas didn't know that there was another person behind him, but the person behind him knew him, "I absolutely do not believe that the northerners are the enemies of our slave owners, just as I believe that the members of the Underground Railroad are only a minority of the northerners, we are not enemies, you will be a bridge between us and the people of the north, and maintain the values left by the founding fathers......"
Under capitalism, where evidence is more important than justice, Sheffield learned best that American gangsters are almost impossible to eliminate, because there are loopholes in the law at all times. The United States does not have such an iron fist organization to deal with these thugs, because once such an organization appears, it can deal not only with the mobs, but also against the capitalists and slave owners.
"Yes, some compatriots also do not understand our idea of emancipating the black slaves!" Another person lowered his head and laughed at himself, "Their idea is not wrong, we want to free the black slaves, but in the end we are betrayed by the black slaves of our master!" What a great irony, Lincoln would have preferred to be a slave here than we call freedom......"
Sheffield felt some cramps in his stomach, this person was punched and kicked by Lincoln in front of the overseer of Sheffield Plantation, and instantly felt that the world had changed, it can be said that Lincoln's big fist in a casserole refreshed this person's three views. Without the coercion and temptation of Sheffield, he directly fed the dogs the idea of emancipating the black slaves, and surrendered much faster than Thomas.
It turns out that being beaten once by a black slave can change your mind, and the underground railway is really not difficult to deal with if this kind of person is really not difficult to deal with.
"I'm going back to the North and I'm not going to be in contact with anyone on the Underground Railroad, and now I understand that the master is right, the blacks must be restrained, and it's best to maintain the current state, take a step back on this issue, and then we will take ten thousand steps back!" The quality of Karen's words was very much appreciated by Sheffield, and this attitude was so high that he didn't know where to go.
"You're going to fight the Underground Railroad! You need to awaken your values from the depths of your heart! KuKluxKlan, this is an organization that is normally in line with our values, and I will sponsor you for now, but as long as you do what you deserve, I believe that other slave owners will not skimp on financial support when they see your potential! Sheffield laughed and said, "You are very smart, I heard that you have not finished college, you can choose a university to study, I will pay for your tuition, and find like-minded friends in campus life." If you have a big difficulty, you can write to me, ask for money, money, people, we don't have much, just don't lack ...... in thugs and dollars."
“KuKluxKlan? Let's take the initial abbreviation, called the Ku Klux Klux Klan! Karen bowed her head deeply and said, "I have never felt that I have such a huge responsibility on my shoulders, and it makes my blood boil even more than the empty emancipation of black slaves!" ”
The Ku Klux Klux Klan? This is earlier than it appeared in history, and he needs this organization to fight in the Northern and Underground Railway movements, and in the future, it can develop into a very potential civil organization, such as the Tea Party in later generations!
It's a little exciting to think about? It would be better if the Ku Klux Klan could coerce a group of whites who refused to join the army after the outbreak of the Civil War. It is best to weaken the manpower advantage of the North, even if it can't, it can prevent the North's will to fight and fight with the South! Sheffield expects more from Karen than Thomas, and the two who hope to release him will not disappoint.
"Pick out the young and strong black men of the Underground Railroad and leave twenty of them, and the other old, weak, sick and disabled inform other plantations to sell them cheaply, but you must find a large plantation, and the little slave owners must not find them, otherwise they will run away!" Sheffield also had a headache with the sudden addition of black slaves, the cotton harvest was over, and now only vegetables could be grown. He was uncomfortable not giving these black slaves a little work.
"The Holden family is tired of killing a few black slaves, and I heard that they are going to buy slaves again, so just sell them to their family! We sell it cheaper, after all, we didn't buy it, and we can't lose it! Westin thought for a moment and said.
The Holden family was notoriously brutal, the head of the family either traveled around Europe or enjoyed the glory of being a local tyrant in London, and spent less than three months in the United States in a year, and the attitude of the remaining overseers towards black slaves can be imagined. Anyway, for a family like Holden, the death of a few black slaves is completely bearable.
"House Holden? Their family doesn't seem to have a good reputation! Sheffield hesitated for a moment and said, "That's it, Holden's house, go contact immediately!" "It's better not to monopolize the benefits in this kind of thing, maybe the Holden family will help themselves in the future, according to the slogan of the American era, it is called equal interests.
Didn't the United States just start with the slogan of equalizing interests, and everything followed the butts of Britain and France, and since it was so in line with the diplomatic strategy of the United States, there was nothing wrong with Sheffield studying.
After the underground railway was eradicated, Sheffield began to live with his back to the loess, making a boring plan every day, and then letting the black slaves complete it, testing the limits of manpower, "The land has been cleared, and there are still five months before cotton planting, what to plant during this time?" Potatoes, turnips, cabbage? Soybean? Why don't you just do it, you can't waste five months......"
After careful consideration, Sheffield finally determined one thing, he was not only a business idiot, but also not very good at agriculture, Westin directly scraped off the soybeans and said, "The temperature of soybeans planting this month is not enough, soybeans need plenty of sunshine, and there is a conflict with the time of cotton!" ”
"It's up to you to decide what you do!" Sheffield wasn't embarrassed at all, and directly pushed the matter to Westin and said, "I'm just a seventeen-year-old kid after all, and I take things for granted......
Westin's face is quite exciting? Seventeen-year-olds? Why didn't I notice where you look like a seventeen-year-old?
