Sheffield also has to do the duty of being an older brother, especially now living in the southern United States. The American South is very much about family, responsibility, and church. Unlike the North, which is currently in full swing of industrialization, life in the South has a pastoral quality, and the North and the South are completely different in terms of church, party affiliation, and living habits.

In terms of partisanship, the Democrats supported by the slave states in the south boasted that the expansion of the United States was the destiny of heaven, while the Whigs in the north were very uninterested in this idea, and were very opposed to the United States going to war with Mexico because of the Lone Star Republic, and even suspected that the war with Mexico was a deliberate provocation by the Democrats in the South.

The differences between the Whigs and the Democrats, based in the north, are far from that, and in Sheffield's view, in the final analysis, it is still in the case of slavery, which has caused many problems. However, there is no problem with the national slavery or the abolition of slavery in the United States, the problem is that the industrial capitalists in the North and the slave owners in the South are quite strong and evenly matched, because of the presence of black slaves, in order to prevent the riots of black slaves. The great slave owners of the South were quite united with each other, and every house had weapons, and these white people, who were always on the lookout for slave rebellion, could form a powerful army at any time.

Economically, the South exported raw materials and imported industrial goods, and the major slave owners took pride in enjoying British manufacturing. The industrial capitalists in the North needed to raise tariffs to prevent the now powerful British manufacturing from entering the United States, and the two sides were also diametrically opposed in terms of economic reversal, and the interests of the slave owners had to be sacrificed to ensure the interests of the capitalists, and vice versa.

The Democratic Party preferred to build an agricultural empire, and both the current Whig Party and the later Republican Party wanted to build an industrial empire in the North, and the aspirations of both sides were in opposite directions, so the policies implemented were diametrically opposed. The North believed that the strength of a country lay in industry, so it was not too interested in expansion.

In Sheffield's view, the Democrats and the Whigs should have found their own model from the two most powerful countries in the world today, the Democrats wanted to build a country like France, and the Whigs wanted the United States to become Britain. Considering that his ass is on the side of the slave owners, even Sheffield knows that the industrial empire is stronger, and does not want the United States to become like that. Besides, France is not weak, at least in World War I, it can definitely be called a super-level performance, blocking the invincible German Army in the world. Otherwise, like World War II, the British would have to consider whether to establish a government-in-exile in Canada or somewhere else.

"Sometimes it's troublesome to have a vision that is ahead of the times!" Before he knew it, Sheffield, who was thinking about it, had already walked to the attic of his house, and his father and eldest brother were serving on the battlefield, even if he was still a year away from adulthood, he had to care more about his younger siblings.

"John, Audrey!" Seeing a pair of lovely younger brothers and sisters, Sheffield's mood suddenly improved a lot. Anyway, there was still more than ten years of preparation time before the outbreak of the Civil War, and with this time to prepare, Sheffield, or Southern slave owners, was not without the slightest certainty of victory.

"Brother!" Audrey jumped into Sheffield's arms, her little head rubbed in his arms, Sheffield's eldest brother and several brothers and sisters are a little different in age, usually the two little ones are always a little restrained when they see the eldest brother. On the contrary, he had a good relationship with Sheffield himself. Twelve-year-old John on the other side was also happy to see Sheffield back.

Since Sheffield moved into the plantation to live, there are only two little ones left in the attic, although the old housekeeper is loyal, but after all, he is an outsider, and the rest of the maid and black slave work still need to be arranged by the housekeeper, and there is no energy to play with the two little ones, at this time Sheffield should actually stay at home to accompany the two brothers and sisters, but in view of the unreliable father daring to lead the eldest brother to the battlefield, the remaining plantation Sheffield must pick up the burden, otherwise the loss is immeasurable.

"Young Master, a letter sent back from the front!" The old butler Brown took out a letter with a feather pinned to it, and he didn't know where the custom was, could it be that the Indians learned it? Anyway, when Sheffield sees this kind of letter, he always thinks of the word chicken feather letter.

"From the front? The Mexican front, that's supposed to be Daddy's letter! Sheffield took the letter with a hint of doubt, although he had no feelings for this cheap dad who took his eldest brother to the battlefield just a few days after contact, but it is always not wrong to care more, the feelings are not there, at least you can know from the letter where the war has reached now.

In today's North America, although the United States has the strongest hard power, it is not too strong. Whether it is Canada in the north or Mexico in the south, they all have the ability of the United States to fight in World War I, and they are far from the two countries that will live in the back of the United States in later generations. Mexico is also a dignified American power, neither a fish belly for the Qing Empire to engage in gunboat diplomacy, nor a laughing stock for the government army that can't beat the drug lords, Mexico really has a chance to win the Mexican-American War, and the chance of victory in the South is greater than that of the Civil War.

Sheffield carefully read the old Sheffield's letters with a rare seriousness, which only appeared when he was arrested by the KGB across the border. Until now, he did not know why the KGB of the Soviet Union would arrest him across borders, knowing that the two countries were allies.

Sheffield, who sorted out his thoughts, generally knew the current progress of the US military, the old Sheffield and Sheffield's eldest brother followed the troops to capture Monterrey, and are currently resting, and will probably wait for the logistics support in the United States to go south, this time the target is Saltillo, the capital of the Mexican state of Coahuila, if the Mexican government still insists on resisting, it may continue to go south, of course, these are all analyzed by the old Sheffield himself.

Sheffield read the letter from the cheap dad and calculated the time, it can be said that the current US military is advancing very fast, just like a regular march, and the southbound troops resting in Monterrey should rest for a month according to the time, which is also consistent with the logistics situation of the United States. It is, after all, too far from the area of the core of the United States. None of this was remembered by Sheffield, and one of the small cases in which the old Sheffield had only a short sentence made Sheffield notice.

As they entered Mexico, some of the American soldiers were already unwell, and the old Sheffield's letter mentioned that individual soldiers in their regiment had developed malaria.

Thank you for your recommendation and reward, thank you! I drank too much after work, and it took time to sober up, so it was late
