In faraway Africa, there is a country called 'Liberia'. This is the only country in the world that dares to use 'freedom' as its own name, and if the countries of the Dark Forest are analogous to people's names, this name is the same as when a white person hears someone called 'billionaire' or the Chinese hear someone call 'Long Aotian'.

It's not outrageous, but it's amazing – it's even more amazing that it's a black country, but it's built by Americans!

In Turtledove's original memory, there is a question he has always been puzzled about, that is, there were a considerable number of black slaves on American soil in the 19th century, and later Abraham Lincoln ordered all of them to be unsealed, and strangely, where did these unsealed black slaves go?

Even if there are some left in the country, the amount is obviously not the same as the amount in the endless cotton fields!

It wasn't until he came to this world that he viciously made up for the lack of knowledge in his previous life. It turned out that Lao Mei had another trick here - it transported those black slaves who had been unsealed back to Africa on slave ships!

It used to cost about $30,000 to buy a boatload of slaves from Africa, but now you can earn another $50,000 if you go back.

What's even more amazing is that the money was bought by the slaves themselves, so they paid for the goods before they were in arrears.

Coupled with the rapid development of steamship technology, a slave ship that could carry about 1,000 people can now fit 5,000 people on a ship.

Probably the only flaw is that Africa, as big as it is, has no place for blacks today.

The British and French have taken all the territory here. The Americans had to find a foothold in Africa for these blacks after the lockdown was lifted, and at first the Americans were eyeing Sierra Leone, but the chieftains of Sierra Leone were too powerful, and the pike dart could be hard and cannon, but the Americans couldn't beat it, so they continued to go south.

Finally, I came to a place called Messurado, and after a friendly conversation with the locals, the Americans renamed it 'Liberia'!

Frankly, 'shipping blacks back to Africa' is a lucrative business, but it's not that lucrative.

The reason is that there is really no oil and water on the black slaves, and there are too few black slaves who can get the money to redeem themselves, so little that it takes more than half a year to get together a boat.

Although the unit price is high, it cannot afford to go up. Therefore, later the United States launched a 'black to black' in Liberia, allowing the first black to buy and sell the later black people, and the Americans to sit back and enjoy its achievements.

There is another reason why this business can continue to do business, that is, since Polk put forward the slogan of 'unsealing the black slaves', the north has gradually become full of black.

In order to improve the municipal environment, the Americans have to pinch their noses as well. Just as 200 years from now, Texas was willing to pay out of its own pocket to hire 200 buses to transport smuggled Mexicans to New York, Virginia and Massachusetts at this time were eager to pay out of their own pockets to transport these 'free' blacks somewhere else - anywhere, as long as they didn't dangle in front of their eyes!

The black slaves were an ideal tool in the cotton fields and corn fields, but once they entered the city, they became a cancer in the city.

The factory needed 'advanced tools', cotton picking was really not a skill, and basketball and rapper weren't yet popular – Raper was pretty much the same!

In New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago and other places, there are groups of nomadic blacks, eager to return to their old lives, with watermelons to eat and cotton to pick...... However, under the crushing of the wheels of capital, even the whites themselves have become machines, where do blacks have any chance?

…… It was against this backdrop that Tafari came to Chicago two years ago. He opened a factory - don't laugh, he really opened a factory!

The factory produces iron nails, works 4 days a week, 3 days off, works 6 hours a day, and enjoys 30 minutes of music every 3 hours.

When even Yankulovsky heard about it, he looked at a white booklet and fell into deep thought. It's hard to say how much the factory is producing, and it doesn't seem to be delivering a single order to any customer anyway, and it doesn't seem to be delivering a single order to any customer.

But Tafari was a big African chieftain, so he had a lot of money. He was able to pay Chicago's taxes on time and occasionally donate a sum of money to City Hall to improve the city's appearance.

No matter what Chicago's city officials think, the dollar doesn't matter how high or low, just get it.

Chicago's mayor was even a little worried about whether Tafari would bring down his factory — if only he could hold it on for a little longer.

Miraculously, this factory was on the verge of bankruptcy several times, and it magically came back to life several times. And it's getting bigger!

Many fugitives from the South used this factory as their destination, and New York and Philadelphia also stuffed black people here by train.

There is a popular local ballad called

"I ate fried chicken in Chicago Plaza" ...... Within two years, the mayor of Chicago had a new headache – he felt as if he was living in Africa!

So he ordered Tafari to disband his factory and move somewhere else. The order was given on March 1, 1853, and the order of the mayor of Chicago was denied on March 2, 1853.

On March 3, 1853, a strange red and white flag was raised on the roof of Chicago City Hall, and Tafari with gold-rimmed glasses and a 'Dakota 1846plus' pistol in his hand announced that the great new state of Liberia was established today!

All citizens of the new Liberian State are free, do whatever they want, and don't do whatever they want!

The state issues Liberian dollars, which are issued by each citizen on time every month, and can be reissued to the government if they are not enough.

All nationals of the new State of Liberia are equal, with the exception of whites. In the territory of New Liberia, whites were required to work in picking cotton, growing corn, breaking bananas, etc., and they could not run away without the permission of blacks.

New Liberia has a separation of powers between the judiciary, the legislature and the executive, which are held by the President, his wife and the President's son, respectively.

Originally, there were many black-only facilities in Chicago, such as the roads were divided into two parts, one black and one white, which could be kept as usual.

But the schools and hospitals had to be replaced, the original white schools were changed to black schools, the teachers were replaced by black teachers, and the doctors were replaced by black doctors.

As for saying that black teachers are illiterate, black doctors have never seen scalpels...... None of this is a problem, just change it to black first.

The Virgin Mary in Chicago Square, after thinking for three seconds in Tafari, was painted black.

…… The establishment of the new state of Liberia surprised even turtledoves! He sent Tafari to Chicago just to get him to use his racial talent to build a 'mafia'.

I didn't want him to make such a big business. The situation is out of control!
