Stephen A. Douglas, nicknamed Little Giant, is because he is not tall, but he is a very strong person, and he is a shining star in American politics, but now his light is a little dim.

This qiē is all because of a bill, that is, this thing called the "Kansas-Nebraska Act", as soon as this thing came out, it produced a very headache result, and even with it, the little giant was also criticized.

What is this bill about?

If you want to know about this bill, you have to know what happened before, and that was a bill called the Missouri Compromise!

This "Missouri Compromise Case" is actually related to a particularly important historical event, that is, in 1803, the United States bought a huge piece of land from France.

It cost 15 million US dollars, and France at that time was during the Napoleonic period, and he actually sold this land mainly for the purpose of fighting, of course, the relationship between the two countries is also very good, very iron, that is not said.

It's just this thing, the big man Bill is just passing by, he doesn't think it's anything to say, he thinks the point is, buy this place, so how to open it up?

The idea of our ordinary people must be, since we have bought it, we will come to people, we will build, and we will reclaim, is there anything complicated about this?

Other countries may not be complicated, but the United States is different, very different, because the United States has slavery!

SLAVERY IS A THING THAT THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN CARRYING SINCE ITS ROOTS, AND WHEN THE COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED, THOSE FOUNDING-FATHERS DID NOT UNDERSTAND THIS MATTER, AND THE FORMULATION OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES WAS ACTUALLY A PROCESS OF MUTUAL COMPROMISE, AND NATURALLY, FOR SLAVERY, IT WAS ALSO COMPROMISED.

"The Missouri Compromise Bill", it is still a compromise, there are two kinds of states in the United States, one is called the free state, and the other is called the slave state, this definition was made when the country was founded, and in 1820, Missouri could be established as a state, that is, there are more people in this place, but this is a slave state, and at the same time, it is also stipulated in this bill that the line of 30 degrees 30 minutes north latitude is the dividing line between the free state and the slave state, but Missouri is north of this line.

There's a simple basic concept here, and the big guy Bill just said it simply, because in his head it didn't matter.

That is, the development of the slave states must be faster than that of the free states.

Why?

It is particularly simple, because most of the slave states are agriculture-based, and this agriculture, in fact, the most important thing is to plant cotton, many people do not know the problem of planting cotton, that is, in this year, planting cotton is a kind of farming method that is more harmful to the land, because now people have no concept of how to fertilize scientifically, so you are a slave owner, then you naturally have to quickly reclaim new land, in order to make your wealth grow rapidly, and you can't do without reclamation. Because after a few years of planting, cotton can no longer be grown.

The act of being a natural act is also a natural effect, so the current situation is that the land area of the slave states is far more than that of the free states, of course, only the area.

So, there was the Missouri Compromise, and it was as simple as that.

And now, in fact, it is a repeat of the old thing, originally in 1834, the federal government also legislated that it was not allowed to reclaim the vast area west of Kansas (i.e., Missouri) and north of the 36th parallel, which was bought from the French, because they had an agreement with the Indians, which was a relatively early peace agreement.

But by 1854, the southern slave owners could not stand it anymore, and they had to continue to cultivate the land to meet the growing demand for cotton fields, that is, they Americans were going to be treacherous again.

But this matter, it's been more than once anyway, so let's not mention this treachery or anything, reclamation, then, in the end, this new state is Kansas, is it a free state or a slave state?

So, there was the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which said that whether it was a free state or a slave state was democratically decided by the locals.

Democracy is voting, which may sound fair, but don't forget, the slave owners in the south, they naturally have an advantage, and they have a big advantage. Therefore, the answer to who will win in the end of this vote is actually clear.

If the north wants to develop industry, they are slow to build factories, but they also need land, but when they want to build factories, they see, yo, the land is gone, so what should I do?

Li Mengyang learned this period of American history in textbooks, capitalism in the north is mainly developed industry, while slaves in the south are mainly developed agriculture, and there is also a name, that is, Eli Whitney, this person invented a thing, called the cotton gin.

The textbook doesn't say it too clearly, and in fact, the cotton gin is very simple and easy to do, but the appearance of this machine has made the original laborious work of removing cotton seeds very simple, and in this way, it has liberated a lot of slaves, they don't need to go to cotton seeds, just go to plant cotton!

In other words, the slave owners in the southern part of the United States are grateful to this Whitney, without him, the slave owners would not have the good life they have now, and just before, in fact, the number of black slaves in the United States has been decreasing, but with the cotton gin, the current number of black slaves in the United States has increased to 4 million!

As far as Li Mengyang knows, the price of black slaves can be seen, otherwise can it be so expensive?

But there's something interesting that the big man Bill doesn't tell, and that's Whitney's story.

What's so interesting?

Li Mengyang knew that this Eli Whitney did not get rich because of the cotton gin, because this thing was too simple, and it was copied by a large number of people as soon as it came out, so Whitney almost went bankrupt.

In fact, the United States is the ancestor of copycats, and they have been doing this all along.

But Whitney was a great guy, he didn't make money from the cotton gin, but he came up with something else, and that was standardized manufacturing!

Whitney was the grandfather of standardized production, which made him a lot of money, and also made Colt a lot of money, and also helped the American industry to achieve great development.

The reason why Li Mengyang knows is because Whitney is too famous, and looking at this person now, it seems that the Civil War after that is reflected in him.

Isn't it the epitome of the Civil War that the Southern slave owners profited but did not give Whitney a dime, while the industrial capitalists of the North made Whitney rich?

The reason why Li Mengyang can think of the Civil War from the abolitionist movement is really smooth, because the abolitionist movement is one of the most important fuses of the Civil War, and this fuse, we can understand one or two by looking at the story of Eli Whitney.

The reason why the north wants to abolish slavery, on the one hand, is because of moral problems, the Bible says that all men are created equal, and on the other hand, in fact, there are great interests involved, and there is a contradiction of interests between the north and the south!

However, when listening to the big man Bill tell these stories, Li Mengyang's thinking diverged further, that is, what is happening in the United States now, does it have anything to do with us, China?

It all has to do with it!

Who is cotton sold to in the United States?

Great Britain!

But such a large cotton export, just look at the area of the current slave state, that is, from the Atlantic Ocean in the east, to Texas in the west, to the Gulf of Mexico in the south, to Missouri in the north, and New Mexico and the Utah quasi-state will become slave states, how much cotton is produced in such a large piece of land?

That's a huge number, so Britain can eat it, but don't they produce a surplus of cotton cloth? Can the British wear it?

Naturally, it can't be worn, so it will be dumped overseas, so who is it dumped to?

Why, after the war, was the trade of five ports requested?

Why was the later Qing Dynasty Customs Minister an Englishman?!

This answer is already obvious, and a chain of interests full of oppression and blood is presented in front of Li Mengyang. In addition to **, those 'foreign cloths' filled every corner of the Qing Dynasty, smashed the economic system of the feudal empire, and made a large amount of wealth accumulated by the Chinese nation for thousands of years outflow, and in order to grab these wealth, the great powers can be said to be pressing step by step, step by step to let the Chinese nation fall into the abyss of pain!

It is not right to close the country to the outside world, but it is definitely not right to have such an unequal transaction form, Li Mengyang couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of this.

Be sure to change this qiē!

"That Douglas, everyone else says he's a little giant, but if you want me to see it, he's a big bastard at all!" The big man Bill had basically finished talking about the crazy bill that led Kansas, and now, of course, it was his own comment, "I'm not talking nonsense, just this Douglas, he himself has 400 slaves!" Hum! But he often told others that he didn't care about the abolition of slavery, which was a lie! Not to mention that after the abolition of slavery, he lost at least more than $400,000, and if he now submitted this bill, how could the slave owners be slower than the northerners in reclaiming the land? It's all a bill towards the Southerners! ”

Don't say it, this big man Bill is very reasonable.

"No, what I've heard is that Mr. Douglas has a noble personality." It was Eleanor who spoke, but after she said this, she felt a little lost.

"That's all shit! These guys all made themselves so tall for the sake of campaigning, in fact, hey, hey, Douglas is still too short. "It's a bit of a shame to make fun of other people's flaws," I also heard that he used to slander his opponent, Mr. Lincoln, who was a good man, as tall as me, and tall people were good people, and I heard that Glass had courted Lincoln's wife before, hehehe......

And this is also lace news?

"Tell me about it! Tell me about it! ”

No matter what era it is, people like to gossip, but Li Mengyang has a heart, because he sees that this big man Bill is too good to speak, it seems a little unreliable, right?

However, there is another thing that has attracted Li Mengyang's attention, that is, our story, that is, the general trend of the United States now, has been told for a long time, but why did the gang of guys who killed the police have not moved?

Bang! Bang!

As soon as I thought of this, the sound of gunfire came to mind.

"Which bastard is here to kill the cops!?"

"Come out!"

"If you don't come out, you'll burn!"

Another big group of people is coming......
