Parliament is now controlled by the capitalists of the North and the plantation slave owners of the South, and how can he alone be the opponent of these huge forces?

Just like Chen Mo said, Henry Clay just preempted the southern slave owners and attacked him in advance, even if there was no him, his southern fellow villagers would not let him go.

Zachary Taylor feels deeply the horror of politics, far from being as simple as he thinks.

Even if he abandons his personal gains and losses, and puts the interests of the country first, he will eventually infringe on the interests of others, so that they want to get rid of them as soon as possible.

The funny thing is that he didn't understand this until he died, and simply thought that he was really sick and died.

If it weren't for Chen Mo, he would never have known in his life that there were so many intricate things hidden behind this.

Perhaps, he should not have run for president in the first place, and that being a farmer on his cotton plantation would have been his best home.

Thinking of this, Zachary Taylor couldn't help but feel disheartened, his eyes instantly dimmed, and he sat on the bed dejectedly, hanging his head, staring blankly at the quilt in front of him, speechless for a long time.

Victor and James couldn't help but look at Chen Mo worriedly when they saw him.

Chen Mo smiled slightly and asked softly towards Zachary Taylor.

"Don't you want revenge?"

"Revenge?"

Zachary Taylor still lowered his head, muttering softly in his mouth, Chen Mo could see the violent fluctuations in his eyes, and after a while, the violent fluctuations completely stopped, Zachary Taylor shook his head lightly, and said in a faint voice.

"What if you take revenge, if you kill Henry Clay, there will be other bankers' spokesmen who will come to power, and if you kill the bankers, there will be factory owners, manor owners, slave owners, I can't kill them all, right?"

Clearly, Zachary Taylor has lost faith in this dark and decaying country controlled by capitalists.

"Do you want to abolish slavery?"

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Chen Mo's mouth.

"Yes! Absolutely! But I can't do it, and neither can the next president! Those slave owners represent half of America! Slavery cannot be abolished unless we defeat half of America! ”

As a plantation owner himself, Zachary Taylor was well aware of the power of Southern slave owners throughout the American South, and that the entire Southern states were completely under the control of these slave owners, from the military and state and county governments to civilians and slaves.

When he was in office, all he wanted was to stop the spread of slavery to other states in the United States and maintain the status quo, and he never thought of abolishing slavery completely.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't!

Slaves were the private property of the plantation owners, their free labour, and if slavery were abolished, they would have to pay the salaries of these people who cultivated the plantations for them at the price of hiring civilians, and then their balance of payments would be broken, or even overwhelmed, and a large number of plantations would go out of business.

Slaves were the lifeblood of the plantation slave owners, and it was impossible for the slave owners to allow slavery to be abolished, which touched their most fundamental interests, and if the U.S. government forced the abolition of slavery, the final result would only be the secession of the southern slave states from the Union, and even the outbreak of civil war.

"Then defeat half of the United States!"

Chen Mo's tone was extremely relaxed and casual, as if he was not talking about a strong United States, but a weak and small country.

"Defeat them?"

Zachary Taylor muttered to himself.

"That's right, politics and compromise can't solve the slave problem, the only way is war!"

"It's just that the time is not yet ripe, and in fifteen years' time, slavery will be a thing of the past!"

"Fifteen years?"

Talking about the deadline given by Chen Mo, Zachary Taylor's gloomy eyes couldn't help but glow.

Although I don't know why Chen Mo concluded that slavery would end in fifteen years, he has experienced the magical ability of resurrection from the dead, and Zachary Taylor now believes Chen Mo's words as blindly as Victor and James.

Fifteen years may sound like a long time, but Zachary Taylor thought it was a long time, and he thought that it would be until the twentieth century, or even the twenty-first century, that slavery in the United States could be completely overthrown.

For a system that has been deeply rooted in a country and has been in practice for nearly 100 years, and this kind of system also involves the fundamental interests of the dominant half of the people in the country, it is by no means an overnight thing to want to change, and 15 years is already a very short time.

Zachary Taylor can imagine that the past fifteen years will definitely not be peaceful, just like Chen Mo said, politics and compromise cannot solve the slave problem, the only way is war!

Only by defeating half of the United States can slavery be completely abolished!

The end of slavery must be a great war that is even larger and more tragic and magnificent than the Mexican-American War!

"If you want, you can join the army with Victor and James and end slavery with your own hands!"

Chen Mo's words made Zachary Taylor's eyes light up.

The reason why he was tired of the war before was because he was cheated by his own people, which led to heavy casualties among his soldiers, and the Mexican-American War was essentially a war of aggression.

The war against the slave owners was for the reunification of the motherland and the liberation of the people, and Zachary Taylor felt that the flames of battle were once again burning in his heart.

It's just that fifteen years later, I am already in my eighties, how can I still be on the battlefield, even if the war starts earlier, it is difficult for my body to withstand it.

Over the years, Zachary Taylor has become more and more aware that his body is not as good as before, although he is still strong among his peers, it is still rapidly deteriorating compared to when he was younger, which is why he has no doubt that he has "malaria" and then "died" in just a few days.

Moreover, it is difficult to say whether he will live to that day, in this day and age, there are not many people who can live to be eighty years old.

Chen Mo looked at Zachary Taylor's bright and then rapidly dimmed eyes, feeling the loss and regret in his heart, and easily saw through the thoughts in his heart.

"Physically, it's not a problem, I can bring you back from the dead, and naturally I can also make you young again, in fact, you now have eternal life!"

"What?!"
