Chapter Eleven My Model
Judging from the age, these people who disembarked should be born after the Civil War, and they should be the second or third generations of each family. Maybe they are all born in Brazil. Being able to take a boat to New Orleans can be said to have made up a lot of determination. It can be seen that the pressure faced in Brazil is quite great.
"Still talking?" Sheffield walked ahead with a calm expression, as if he had no interest in the distant southern hemisphere and had nothing to do with him. He just accepted the instructions of Lord Lafayette and came to welcome visitors from afar. He was only sixteen years old, so naturally he could not empathize with the revolutionary friendship of the Civil War.
"Yes, I'm still talking!" Gaelle spoke in a low voice, and he was still a little depressed about the possible heavy losses. This was the first time he had experienced such a thing.
Sheffield nodded, wanting to comfort him, but he had just met these people and was not easy to show too much enthusiasm. Especially the current situation these people are facing, if he was too happy, it would be unreasonable.
But Sheffield also worked very hard. Judging from the final result, the Sheffield family was looted once because of the Civil War, but this was only on the surface. Because other planters immigrated to Brazil, Sheffield also accepted a lot of the inheritance they left. In addition, the special nature of Texas, the foundation was saved and not liquidated.
Texas is too important and too special. Although there are many planters who immigrated to Brazil, many of them stayed. Their development after the war was obviously not as good as the Sheffield family, and now it has already widened the gap. It has formed a pattern that has been led by Annabel, the remnants of the South.
The victory in the north was beyond doubt as a result of the Civil War, but the top leaders in the south were not liquidated. The original planters in the south were divided into two parts, and some chose to immigrate to Brazil, which was the guests he welcomed now. The rest stayed in the local area and had a good relationship with the Sheffield family.
"Louisiana is such a good place." Gale was inspired after coming to Oak Manor, and the men and women who came with him nodded when they heard this, obviously he was quite satisfied with the environment here.
Louisiana has a gentle terrain, and the Mississippi River runs through the eastern part of the state. On both sides of the river are broad alluvial plains, and the estuary forms a vast delta that extends into the Gulf of Mexico.
It is February now. Louisiana is humid and hot in summer and mild in winter. The temperature is now very comfortable. Everyone commented on the climate here without anyone else, and they are obviously very satisfied with the environment here.
Although it was the first time I stepped on the land here, I did not regard myself as an outsider. Sheffield fully understood this. If the landlords return home want to go home, would you ask the farmers if you agree? No, these people who came here from Brazil are actually similar in nature to the return home. This place used to be their home.
Who are these people, descendants of slave owners who eat people and don’t spit bones? Moreover, these people who returned from Brazil have actually fought two major wars, and the smoke of gunpowder actually passed by once more than the Sheffield family represented by staying in China.
At Oak Manor, Sheffield asked people to prepare food and welcome guests from afar. It was also very sincere. The entire Louisiana was originally part of New France and was influenced by Spain, so Sheffield prepared a French meal. Although he did not have much attainment in food, it was enough to be valuable.
Furthermore, French cuisine itself represents Western cuisine, especially compared with the British Empire, the leader in the dark cuisine industry on the other side of the strait, which is even more of a gap between diamonds and sand.
On the one hand, he is obeying the arrangements of Lord Lafayette, and on the other hand, he himself is not opposed to these partners who have immigrated and are now preparing to return. To put it bluntly, with the capital of these people, it is actually an easy thing to return to the United States. Don’t look at the current xenophobic sentiment in the United States, but you also have to distinguish who is rejecting it.
No matter when, rich people are more popular than poor people. It is not difficult for these immigrants to come back at all. Then the question arises, where to go? South or North?
Although the hatred of the Civil War has been brought to power by the Democratic Party, it proves that the way of hatred in every election is outdated, and the current voters no longer take this. However, the knots left in the heart have not been eliminated so quickly, especially in the south, the loser, and the memory of the loser will be deeper.
After the war, Sheffield developed the best in the south, but it was impossible for one to compete with so many leaders in various industries in the north. It is imperative to introduce foreign aid, otherwise the gap between the north and the south is huge. Even if Sheffield stands out in the south, what is the significance of this? Besides, Sheffield cannot do anything in half of the United States in the United States. The Texas Legion can save the legacy of the Alliance Army. Who knows how long can it take? People will be forgotten.
"Grandma's meaning is very obvious. The manor you left behind in Brazil has been taken care of for many years. Our family is also welcome to your return. Everyone was standing in a trench back then." Sheffield, who had been holding a goblet, shook the wine in the glass and said slowly, "For many years you have left, the United States has undergone tremendous changes. Brazil today is completely incomparable to the United States. To put it bluntly, even if you want to be a millionaire, it is much better to do in the United States than in other parts of the Americas."
"You are not a big immigrant when you come back. This is your home. Look, these manors are the places where our fathers have lived. Running to Brazil in a dilemma is what you need?" Sheffield stood up and pointed his hand at the north and said, "It's also dilemma when you arrive in Brazil. Can't we defeat them in the way of Jiba Yang? If they have money, do we have no money?"
"William, I probably understand what you mean. The Sheffield family is as always with us. I have also considered this in order to let me come here. I have been away from the United States for thirty years. Let's go back to see the environment first." Gail raised his glass to Sheffield and signaled, "Now that we have seen the Sheffield family's attitude, and I feel that things should go smoothly."
"We used to be a partner in a trench, so the Sheffield family would not do anything to be sorry for their partner." Sheffield pointed to the light bulb and sweared, "It's a righteous and honest person, and this kind of vocabulary can be used on him now.
Gale and a group of men and women nodded, and two girls even boasted about Sheffield. Such a spirit was not under the command of the Texas Legion, but indeed a role model for us Dixie, etc.
