Sheffield walked away calmly, and the bodyguard waiting on the side whispered, "Master, why do you need to come into contact with these people with forest blood?"

Forest descent is what plantation owners said about black people before the Civil War. Africa gives people the impression of savannah and tropical rain forest. The white American group comes from Europe, which is a standard feudal society. It is different from the centralized authoritarian society in East Asia, but it is very

Those who pay attention to bloodline will always be nobles.

"Don't say that, times are different. It's not the past. Anyway, it's the United States now. These black people are wage workers. Although their status has basically not changed, they have changed from farming to working." Sheffield said calmly.

The answer is that if the plantation economy continues, given the geographical location of the United States, the country will at best become a comprehensive and enhanced version of Canada and Australia, but it will not degenerate to the level of Latin America.

Facts have proved that even if the Alliance has a time-traveling predecessor sitting in charge, it cannot withstand the overwhelming population, industrial and moral advantages of the United States. There is a saying in the movie that if you want to survive, you have to change your way of living.

Back then, the plantation owners in the South were very wealthy, but they were helpless in the face of Yang Gang's overwhelming manpower and material resources. This was the standard of being rich but not strong. It was not surprising that they were looted. This is not a world where you are weak and you are justified.

.

"Find a place first, I want to wash my hands!" Sheffield waved his hands. Black people have more developed sweat glands, so he wanted to wash them.

In fact, New Orleans still has a lot to do. Although it faces countries like Cuba, Haiti, and Colombia, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat, right? If you have industrial advantages, you can form a scissor gap, and you will definitely make money. It does not necessarily have to rely on the climate.

Better than the north, just specialize in plantations.

Furthermore, there seemed to be oil underground in Texas, which had not been mined in this era. At least Sheffield had not heard of it. He did not know that customers from Standard Oil had come to discuss it. He felt complacent.

Compared with the prosperity of New Orleans' fleet traffic before the Civil War, New Orleans is still prosperous after a long period of recuperation, but its main business route has changed from both sides of the Atlantic to commercial relations with Latin America. After all, in addition to Africa,

Apart from its connections, New Orleans has no advantages compared with the American ports on the Atlantic coast.

Sunny Beach, no wonder it became the center of the South. In Sheffield’s eyes, it is still a place with great potential. Raw materials from Latin America can enter the United States from here. Louisiana is not far from Texas.

The basic conditions in Sheffield's hometown are still very good.

As expected, the industry in Latin America cannot develop at all, and coal alone cannot be bypassed in Latin America. The United States now has a first-mover advantage, and it really has too many ways to kill its friends right under its nose.

Later generations used a term to describe Latin America called the Latin American Trap. When traditional agriculture accounts for a large proportion, very large enterprises follow the industrialization strategy of import substitution, prioritize the development of heavy industry, and have a small number of small and medium-sized enterprises, resulting in too much surplus labor and middle-income people.

The population ratio is small, the number of unemployed people is large, the number of poor and absolute poor people is large, and wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people. This puts heavy pressure on the government's social security, eventually leading to high foreign debt and fiscal deficit, serious inflation, and financial problems.

Latent crises and even turmoil are known as the "Latin American trap."

The above remarks cannot explain all the problems. It makes perfect sense if another country is added. Paradise is too far away and the United States is too close. The United States will not allow the emergence of major countries in Latin America that threaten it. America is the America of Americans.

, the subtext is that America is America for Americans.

Why is it subtext? Isn't it because the old European empires regarded President Monroe's words as farts?

When a country is far behind the United States in terms of strength, the United States will never look at it coldly. On the contrary, it will smile and encourage the country's development. But the country must be weak, and you must become really strong.

That is the treatment of the Soviet Union and the Republic. In this era, although the United States cannot do anything to the so-called old-style imperialism in Europe, it is still easy to deal with the little partners in front of it.

"If it weren't for my home school, I would have been expelled if I didn't go back for a long time." Sheffield was lying on the recliner leisurely and contentedly, and his words sounded like standing talking without back pain.

"Master William, a Columbia is docked at the port. It is the ship on the telegram. Our guests will be on board as expected!" A man said while walking from far to near.

"The migratory birds have returned to their nests!" Sheffield was so excited that he suddenly stood up from the lounge chair, stretched out his hands to straighten his hair, and ordered, "Let's go take a look. We've been waiting for such a long time. I hope we won't disappoint."

After the Civil War, a large number of plantation owners immigrated to Brazil and developed plantations again on Brazilian soil. Brazil is located in the tropics with abundant heat, and most areas have a tropical rainforest climate with abundant precipitation, which provides good water and heat conditions for crop growth.

.The terrain of Brazil is mainly composed of plains and plateaus. The flat and open terrain provides a large area of ​​land resources for plantation agriculture. At the same time, the Brazilian soil is mainly brick red soil and is fertile.

This was similar to the conditions in the early South of the United States. It was this similarity that attracted a large number of southern planters who could not bear the defeat to immigrate to Brazil. Anyway, for them, wherever they had huge amounts of capital, they would be better off.

However, the good days only lasted about ten years. Starting from the 1960s, there were calls for the abolition of slavery in Brazil. In the 1970s and 1980s, the government of Pedro II announced a decree on fetal freedom, stipulating that in the future, slaves born as slaves would be free.

All children could be freed. In subsequent years, slaves over sixty years old were emancipated. Seven years ago, during the regency of Pedro II's daughter Isabella, the House of Representatives, under the pressure of the people,

A law was passed that immediately and unconditionally abolished slavery.

But the difference in history is that with the support of the Sheffield family, the Dixie people who immigrated to Brazil once again started a confrontation. It seemed that they would not tolerate falling into the same pit twice. Because the situation they faced was no different from the Civil War. The government continued

The paper decree occupies the moral high ground, but there is not even a cent of compensation. Isn't this the second time they will be robbed?

Unlike the planters who finally took a breath, they decided to go to war knowing that they had the backing of the Sheffield family.

"We have defeated the external strife and lost the civil strife. Now these families who have gone to Brazil are not on the same level as the Sheffield family!" Sheffield deeply felt that Annabel's strong support at the beginning was definitely driving away the tiger.

Swallowing the wolf played a role in weakening the old plantation owners who had built their own homes side by side.

Now that you see that you can't beat us, you have to resist. You are no less ruthless than Dupont who sold out to France.

Sheffield, who was standing at the dock waiting for the ship to dock, was thinking wildly. Passengers wearing clothes had already disembarked one after another. Among them, a group of young but well-dressed young men and women disembarked. When they saw Sheffield, one of the men spoke with a slightly changed southern accent.

Said, "Sheffield?"
