When Li Mengyang learned the surname of the owner of the farm, he really sighed, could it be the Kennedy family in the future?

But it doesn't seem like it will be, because the Kennedy family is in Boston, in Massachusetts, Maryland is a little far away, and the current Kennedy family is still the first generation, and it is very hard.

So why did you come here?

John Brown is waiting for his last wave of reinforcements, which in his mouth will be a large number of people!

In the evening, five black men came, and it seemed like a good start, and these black men were quite interesting, and they didn't have much fun these days, so they brought musical instruments.

There's a guitar, there's a violin, there's a drum, the music is up, and there's a bonfire, we have to be HIGH before this riot, right?

"Hey! Mr. Eastwood, I apologize to you for what happened, and I hope you can understand my feelings, for I am a man who can spare himself for the sake of abolishing slavery. ”

Accompanied by cheerful music and the unique dancing skills of black people, John Brown, the old guy, found Li Mengyang, and he was apologizing, really apologizing.

"You're welcome." Li Mengyang naturally couldn't help but be angry, after all, he was threatened, "I will also invest in some things, and I will not hesitate to do so." ”

Of course, Li Mengyang is talking about the liberation of his own nation, but he saw some things that he needs to pay attention to from John Brown, that is, John Brown's expression at this time.

What John Brown did for the abolition of slavery is indeed admirable, but this person will not succeed, because what he has done is actually to demand others with his moral standards, and he is completely imposing his own set on others, and the final result will definitely fail!

It's like now, in order to abolish slavery, he John Brown can devote his whole family to it, but others have to do it?

But this old guy is asking others to do the same?

Let's just say that Frederick Douglas, Li Mengyang knows, that is also a person who has devoted his life to the abolitionist movement, but how is he now? Isn't that a break with you John Brown?

Although he didn't know the details, Li Mengyang was almost certain that it must be John Brown's request that made that Frederick unable to do it, and the final result must be a parting of ways.

He John Brown felt that he was doing the right thing, he could bring his own son and son-in-law in, then you others had to do the same.

I've done it all, so why don't you do it?

In fact, in our Chinese history, there are also such examples, such as the famous Wang Mang, before he usurped the throne, his reputation was not ordinarily good, he could give his family's fields to the poor, and he could force his son to die because his son forced a slave to death. But why did Wang Mang turn out so miserably? Is the country so messed up?

I can do the same thing, why can't you do it? Come, like me, donate your own land and force your wrong son to death!

If you are not like me, then you are wrong, wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

Since you are wrong, kill! Kill! Kill!

This is the sadness of idealists, maybe they are all smart people, maybe they are all heroes of the moment, but if they are really in power, it is often a tragedy.

At this moment, Li Mengyang's consciousness has drawn a clear line with the idealists!

"Mr. Eastwood, though you are Chinese, I would love to hear what you think about slavery in our America, because I have seen what you have written, and it is a very good read." John Brown was telling the truth, he had read Clint Lee's article, so he was eager to hear what the great writer and legendary thief in front of him had to say about slavery.

Li Mengyang did talk about slavery in his article, but he didn't say much, because this topic had little to do with the plan he wanted to do, and he still wanted to capture the working class, but now, it seems that there is nothing wrong with talking about it.

"Mr. Brown, in fact, in my eyes, slavery is only about one thing."

"What?"

"Money!"

This conversation is simple, but it attracts everyone's attention, because this statement is too simple, right?

Money?

Even Eleanor thought it was incredible, because if it was really because of money, then why was it so tense now?

You know, at this time, several southern states began to fight for independence, everyone's rhetoric became more intense, and the struggle between the abolitionists and slave owners was becoming more and more intense, and the means of retaliation on both sides were endless, so is this because of money?

"I know what you think." Li Mengyang continued: "For example, Mr. Brown, you are a devout believer, God He said, all men are created equal, so this slavery is evil, there is no doubt about it. But let me ask, aren't the American Southerners not believers in God? And did the Yankees all approve of abolition? Aren't many people just talking about it, but if they really want to act, then they will disappear? Why is this happening? ”

All the people can't answer, because Li Mengyang is right, the United States is a puritan society, and the Puritans are the most devout believers who claim to be the most devout, so they should unconditionally believe in God, so they must obey God's word, but why do so many people want to disobey it?

How can you turn people into slaves?

"Actually, this qiē is all because of money!" Li Mengyang still said calmly: "What is the number of slaves in the United States now?" 4 million, that's roughly the number. So, how much is a slave worth now? If we calculate the average, it is 1,000 dollars, so how much is 4 million slaves worth in total? $4 billion! I would like to ask, if slavery is abolished, how will the losses of the southern slave owners be compensated? Even if you talk about the cost of buying freedom regardless of the price, that one slave is $600, then 4 million slaves is $2.4 billion. Excuse me, the U.S. government, or the northerners, can they give the southerners $2.4 billion? ”

"......" at this moment, everyone was dumbfounded!

2.4 billion US dollars, the current annual GDP of the United States is far from enough, and the concept of GDP is not available now, let alone the US government, even now there is no country in the world that can come up with this amount.

In fact, if you want to calculate this amount, even if Americans are not good at math, they must be able to understand it, but no one has ever said that, not a single one!

The abolitionists always presented themselves as moral guardians, while the Southern slave owners talked about the U.S. Constitution for another reason: freedom.

I have slaves, this is my freedom!

Li Mengyang continued, "Because of this huge loss, the southern slave owners naturally do not want to abolish slavery. And people in the north, because everyone has a lot of money transactions, such as lending money to the southerners, borrowing money must have a mortgage, so what is the mortgage of the southerners? It's slaves, slavery is abolished, then this property mortgage is gone, what about the loan of the northerners? ”

It's not a story, it's a lot of these kinds of events, like General Robert Lee, who was against slavery, but why didn't he immediately release the slaves he inherited from his father-in-law? It's very simple, his father-in-law owes money, and if he doesn't pay it back, he frees the slave, so can the creditor agree? The creditor is a Yankee!

There are also many banks in this business, in fact, the southern slave owners hate the northern banks even more, and it is these vampires who force them to cultivate more land, otherwise they will not be able to pay off the debt.

So, it seems that the relationship is intricate, strip away all the qiē, and the rest is because of the money!

If you can't give this money, what should I do? I had no choice but to end up fighting and talking with my fists!

"Mr. Eastwood! You are indeed a wise man who understands righteousness, please rest assured, after this incident, I will definitely guarantee your safety, as well as the safety of your girlfriend! ”

John Brown had already regretted it a little at this point, he really shouldn't have let such a person go with him to the charge, if Eastwood could write some articles in the newspaper in favor of the abolitionists, wouldn't that be much better than his own actions?

Moreover, he was still a man from the past, and it was evident early on that there was a ...... between Eleanor and Eastwood

"Who's his girlfriend!" Originally, it was very good to listen to it, Li Mengyang, this guy said something that Eleanor had never heard of before, but John Brown, the old guy, actually said this, this ......

"Haha......" John Brown laughed a few times and left, while the others also understood the shape at this time, and they were all leaving.

"Don't go!"

Eleanor also wanted to slip away, but Li Mengyang went up and grabbed her with an arrow step!

"Bastard! What are you doing? Eleanor's face was red and her heart was beating fast.

Li Mengyang only said one sentence, "Eleanor, I'm not a wooden person. ”

At this moment, infinite joy welled up in Eleanor's heart, and she only felt that she was the happiest person in the world......

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the Potomac River, glowing with phosphorus, and in the woods by the river, a couple of men and women snuggled up to each other, and a small guitar was plucked by the man, and a melodious sound came out.

“MOON-RIVER~WIDER-THAN-A-MILE

I’M-CROSSING-YOU-IN-STYLE-SOME-DAY

OH,DREAM-MAKER-YOU-HEART-BREAKER

WHEREVER-YOU’RE-GOIN’,I’M-GOIN’-YOUR-WAY……”

Li Mengyang's voice is still hoarse and lacks magnetism, but Eleanor listened to it with tears in her eyes and was very moved.

"Isn't that a little too sad?"

"Nope! I love to hear it! ”

Growing up so big, Eleanor finally understood a truth, that is, when people are most happy, they actually shed tears.
