The Seattle area of this era was not the bustling metropolis of later generations.

Although Zhu Fugui often subconsciously called the white settlement in the east Seattle Town, in fact, it was not until 1865 that the town was officially established there.

Today, it can only be said that it is a population gathering area with the scale of a small town.

However, while inquiring about the rocks and carefully comparing them with the electronic map on the system, Zhu Fugui realized that he had made a big mistake.

It turned out that the white town in Yin's mouth was not Seattle in later generations, but Bremerton on the west shore of Elliott Bay.

Seattle, on the other hand, is on the eastern shore of Elliott Bay.

Until the 21st century, Bremerton had a permanent population of less than 50,000.

But Port Bremerton is an important submarine base on the west coast of the United States, and it is still somewhat famous.

Today, the big city of Seattle is just a small town, and the population of tiny Bremerton is naturally smaller.

According to the rock, it was inhabited by less than a thousand white people, mostly merchants, explorers, and criminals who had fled here.

There were even black slaves.

The last time Rock went to Bremerton was last fall, where he witnessed a white sheriff hanging a fugitive slave.

Although Zhu Fugui has no good impression of blacks, he also has no good impression of genocidal gangs.

When I heard about this, I could only sigh that this black man ran to the territory of the federal government and still inevitably had a noose, which was really a sin.

"Actually, the sheriff does what he does."

The rock said something that surprised Zhu Fugui.

It is worthy of being a tribe that is good at business, and its knowledge is far from being comparable to that of the Cloud and Mist Tribe, Zhu Fugui asked the rock curiously: "Didn't you say that the south supports slave storage and the north liberates slaves?" That sheriff is supposed to be from the North, right? ”

"I don't know if the Northern Union supports those blacks, anyway, every time we come into contact with white people, they ask us to catch black slaves and return them to them if we meet them while migrating, in exchange for a watermelon or half a bag of cotton."

Rock suddenly ran back to the tent, and it took a while for him to dig out a crumpled piece of paper.

"Do you know English?"

"I've been raising horses for white people since my grandfather, and I know a little bit, but I don't know how to read......"

Zhu Fugui nodded and took the paper full of English.

This is a legal document issued by the Washington Township Police Department regarding the arrest of southern fugitive slaves.

It said that the federal government required all states and dominions to arrest and jail or execute slaves if they found them escaped.

It turned out that although the federal government paid lip service to the abolitionist movement, they also enacted a federal law specifically to capture fugitive slaves.

The law is a rare endorsement of the Southern states, which have always upheld "state rights over federal rights."

On the contrary, the northern states, which have always supported the "superiority of federal rights over state rights", sometimes turn a blind eye.

The result is a ridiculous example of the Southern states denouncing the northern states for not respecting federal law.

Therefore, for these colonists, there is no belief in any kind of faith, in the final analysis, it is all interests.

After figuring out this period of history, Zhu Fugui felt that the white man was despicable and shameless, but also secretly rejoiced.

It seems that in a short period of time, there should be no black tide in the future Ming territory.

In the future, if you really come, you have to find a way to splash it out.

……

"Actually, I didn't do what the white people said, and I had already let a few black people go."

The rock had already seen that Zhu Fugui didn't like white people, and thought that he was also a "virgin" who sympathized with black people, so he said to his liking, "The black people who fled here, as long as we are not embarrassed, can enter Colombia, where the real abolition of slavery, although they are not regarded as human beings, but at least they will not be executed at will." ”

"You wait! Colombia? ”

Zhu Fugui felt that the whole person was not good.

Isn't Colombia in South America?

Zhu Fugui remembers that they played football well.

How did you get to North America?

Oh, by the way, there seems to be a Columbia city in the United States.

Zhu Fugui hurriedly looked for it on the electronic map.

"That's not right, Columbia City has always been in the Missouri area, 108,000 miles away from here!"

"Your Majesty, Colombia is just to the north, only thirty or forty kilometers away."

The words of the rock made Zhu Fugui even more confused.

He hurriedly made an excuse and was quiet alone.

After opening the system and frantically searching for information, Zhu Fugui finally figured out the situation after studying it for more than half an hour.

It turned out that I had fallen into a blind spot in my thinking.

Seattle is located in the northwest corner of the United States, rightly so.

But the United States is not the only one in North America!

To the north of Seattle is Canada, or the predecessor of Canada, and there is no such thing as a large number of British North American colonies that have formed a nation.

And the Colombia in the mouth of the rock should be the future British Columbia of Canada, which is now called the British Columbia Territory.

The future capital of British Columbia is the famous Vancouver.

In fact, on the modern map, Vancouver is right next to Seattle across the U.S.-Canada border.

Although Vancouver has not yet appeared, its predecessor, Gastown, has begun to take shape.

As early as 1858, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom named this piece of land the colony of British Columbia.

The corresponding state of Washington did not officially join the Union until November 11, 1889, and was the forty-second state of the United States.

It can be said that at this time, the southwest of Canada is much more prosperous than the northwest of the United States.

Of course, this kind of border drawn by the colonizers is not a fart for the Yin people.

At present, several of the most powerful tribes of the Sioux Alliance have repeatedly jumped sideways along the U.S.-Canada border.

After figuring out this situation, Zhu Fugui suddenly became enlightened.

Originally, he thought that the Raven's Emissary had been burned to death by the sheriff of Seattle (actually Bremerton), and that the news that the Raven tribe had contracted the plague had been known to the white people.

How can I go to a white town in a grand way?

Now that the willows are bright and the flowers are shining in another village, Zhu Fugui doesn't need to deal with the Yankees at all.

He can deal directly with the Yankee's Ying Daddy.

You know, it's the first half of the Civil War.

Britain and France, the two rivals who had just shaken hands and burned the Old Summer Palace together, were unanimously supporting the Confederate government.

Canada is naturally the rear of Britain and France joining forces to make trouble.

The French in Quebec were furious in their support for the Confederacy.

The British Ontario provided supplies, weapons and ammunition, and even connived with Southern agents to fight the North through Canada.

The St. Albans robbery, where Southern commandos cross the border from Canada to rob the Bank of the North.

Even the assassin who assassinated Lincoln had set out from Montreal, Canada.

In addition, tens of thousands of Canadians volunteered to fight in the American Civil War, not to mention the several militias trained by the British.

If it weren't for the constant pressure exerted by the Russians for the purpose of messing up Canada and continuing eastward from Alaska, the Canadian militia would have been preparing to go south again and burn the White House.

Of course, this is a joke.

Although Canada is actively preparing to make small moves, it is no longer a behemoth of the US federal government.

So much so that as soon as the Civil War ended, the Canadian colonies were once uneasy in the face of their old neighbor's army, which once dominated the world.

Finally, two years after Lincoln's assassination, a group of stinky fish and shrimp hugged together, and Canada in the modern sense was officially established.

All in all, the current Columbia region of Canada can be said to be a vibrant land.

The huge material demand from the Southern Army caused countless explorers to flock to the deep mountains and dense forests in search of minerals and resources.

Conversely, the Seattle area would not be able to "develop" until the end of the Civil War and the Pacific Railroad was completed.

Clearing the layers of fog of international politics, Zhu Fugui found that Canadians who were not short of money, needed a large amount of materials, and could not go south at the same time were really his best neighbors.
