The riot, which burned down the Yankee garrison, was recognized by the Yankee government as a riot.

A riot dissatisfied with the Yankee garrison.

As Tom expected, before the Yankee administration could figure out how to deal with the riot after a complicated congressional discussion, clashes began to erupt between the Yankee garrison and the local residents of the Dixie area.

The Yankees garrisoned in the thousands of important areas in the Dixie area, and there were no towns in the Dixie area that could accommodate so many people, and most of the garrisons were stationed in tents in the fields on the outskirts.

At Tom's instructions, Loki set fire in the field near the Yankee garrison, and the fire inexorably swept through the garrison's tent camp.

It gave the garrison enough time to flee and made the fire spectacular.

Under the dual guidance of chemical flammable agents and heat inhibitors prepared in advance, the flames made a huge fire, but did not kill many people.

Instead, several forest fires caused by accidents have caused several nearby Indian tribes to suffer.

In this fire, which swept through the Dixie area, the Indians died more than the Yankee garrison.

The Yankee garrison is basically a local ruffian hooligan in the Yankee area, how can these hooligans wait for the Yankee government to transport new supplies after losing their homes?

The Yankee garrison, armed with guns, began to loot people's homes everywhere.

When robbing a private house, it is quite reasonable to occupy a few wives and children to warm up the bed and rob the family's property, right?

The farmer himself was unhappy with the Yankee garrison because of the robbery of the black slave and the casualties of family members in the Civil War, and now the conflict is in full swing.

The local farmer took out more muskets in his home than the mafia dens in the Yankee area, and several head-on clashes broke out with the Yankee garrison.

Just as the situation was getting more and more intense, and there was even a lot of momentum for the Second Civil War.

That's when Tom's unexpected happened.

The founder of the Ku Klux Klan, Nathan Bedford Forrest, publicly claimed that the fires were set by the Ku Klux Klan dissatisfied with the Yankee garrison on the ground.

The Yankee government has finally found an entry point and has begun to condemn Nathan in a frenzied public opinion.

Who is Nathan?

Nathan was the founder of the Ku Klux Klux Klan, and was buried in the park named after him by white farmers after his death.

Can Nathan care about the Yankee's public opinion offensive?

Of course, this racist didn't care, but was proud of it, and quickly pulled up the banner in the Dixie area, and the Ku Klux Klan also quickly grew bigger.

In terms of momentum, the Ku Klux Klan also has the momentum to replace the Democratic Party as the largest conservative party in the United States.

Historically, the Ku Klux Klan has always lacked the support of the big powerful and wealthy people, and after Tom sold his assets, he had millions of dollars in cash, and this "small action" of setting fire only needed a thousand dollars to do, which would not affect Tom's economic strength at all.

This kind of thing is just a "small action" for Tom, but for the Ku Klux Klan, which has not been supported by the rich before, it is difficult to compare with "ascending to the sky".

Nathan seized the opportunity, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and made what Tom did his "merit" of the Ku Klux Klan.

Let the people in the Texas area see that the Ku Klux Klan is not a miscellaneous party that only dares to "steal" and shoot a few black slaves.

Nor is it the soft egg party of the Democratic Party that only knows about parliamentary negotiations and calls for the people to be patient.

It is a "doer party" who dares to fight with Yankey.

A large number of red necks began to gather in Texas, marching in support of the Ku Klux Klan, and clashes broke out with the Yankee garrison.

There were more demonstrations, and the confrontation between Dixie's red neck and the Yankee garrison also increased, but an old problem was again placed in front of the top brass of the Ku Klux Klan led by Nathan.

No money.

Most of the supporters of the Ku Klux Klan were small farmers with only one or two small slaves before the abolition of slavery, and their slaves were "liberated" by the Yankees, and they themselves had no power to fight the Yankees.

In the midst of this uprising, this rabble gathered together to take the Ku Klux Klan as a spiritual idol and vainly want to restore slavery.

But these people are small farmers who barely make ends meet every year, and they simply don't have the extra money to support the Ku Klux Klan.

The big farmers and slave owners with deep capital all have their own powerful local armed forces, and when the Yankees conquered the Texas region, they would choose to take a detour, and now there are countless "illegal" African-American employees on those farms, and they will not waste money to support the Ku Klux Klan, which has no legal seats in the US House of Representatives and Senate.

So, Nathan took people from his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, to Houston.

What are you doing in Houston?

Here comes Tom Smith.

May 6, 1866

Sugar Land, a small town southwest of Houston.

On the outskirts of the town, there is a river called Brazos.

Tom put a little horse and sat by the river, and became a fisherman.

This is where Tom and Nathan meet.

Except for the two Ku Klux Klan fanatics in white FFF uniforms that Nathan brought with him, he came to Tom's side.

"Hi, Mr. Smith, I'm Nathan Bedford Forrest, the current leader of the Ku Klux Klan."

Nathan greeted Tom with a swagger, and from his tone, Tom could tell Nathan's pride in himself and the Ku Klux Klan.

Nathan reached out his right hand to shake Tom's hand.

Tom didn't pay any attention to Nathan for the first time, and continued to look at the flat surface of the Brazos River.

"The Ku Klux Klan? Come to me for what? ”

After about half a minute, Tom stuck his rod in Maza and looked back at Nathan.

"I heard your speech, and I very much approve of your thoughts."

"As I passed by the city of Houston, I saw the bones of dozens of hanged traitors, and I felt they deserved it!"

"Fornicating with the Yankee is fornicating with the black slave."

"The black slave should go to hell, and he will remain on earth to serve us believers in the supreme God, and they only deserve to be slaves."

"The Yankee government's delusional attempt to change God's will and make the black slave and our God's followers on an equal footing is simply blasphemous."

"Therefore, I sincerely hope that a great person with lofty ideals like you will join our Ku Klux Klan Party."

"We are not those soft eggs of the Democratic Party, and the Ku Klux Klan must be the best place for you."

"Come on, Mr. Tom Smith, let's work together to recreate the glory of white man!"

What is the best characteristic of a racist?

Self-confidence, conceit, and high self-esteem.

Nathan's face almost said that white people are the first in the world, and in his mind, as long as this passage is said, all Dixies will be infected by their charm and join the Ku Klux Klan.

Along the way, Nathan relied on this passage, and he didn't know how many red necks he had won over to join the Ku Klux Klan.

This time, Nathan also has to rely on his "charisma" to win Tom into the Ku Klux Klan.
