Chapter 60 We should be grateful
"It seems that there are many Africans in your United States!" Annie thought for a while, "but I don't seem to see a few."
"Black people have black communities, white people have white communities." Sheffield explained simply, "It is generally impossible to get involved in each other's communities. However, the northern states will see more black people. This is not because there are more black people in the north, but the northern black people are not fixed in one place and are mingling everywhere."
This is also my country's own national conditions in America, and Anne's experience was not obvious when she came to Texas. The reason why she didn't see the black people is because the black people here are more honest.
Long before the Civil War, because the south was mainly plantation economy, it needed huge manpower to work. The resistance of these labor was predictable, so almost every planter must be equipped with armed forces that can deter resistance. Joint defense, militia and other things are normal. This is why in the Civil War, the south made a one-to-two exchange ratio with only one-quarter of the manpower in the north.
After the Civil War, there was actually no difference, because soon, with the support of the Dixieans, the Democrats dominated the state governments of the southern states, and some bills were passed one after another. Virginia passed the bill, declaring that racial intermarriage was illegal. Because of the Sheffield family, Texas quickly followed suit, and for a time, similar laws were passed in southern states.
"This kind of bill is based on equality and order. Whites and blacks do not interfere with each other. At the same time, it also gives blacks a chance to manage themselves and prove that they have the ability to live like whites." Sheffield rubbed his teeth, and he felt that his level of washing could not keep up with the moral bottom line of such bills.
But what can I do? The two ethnic groups have too far different appearances. Not to mention the United States, even in any country, the main ethnic group will dislike the ethnic group that looks completely opposite to their own. It’s just that some people dare to say it, and some people dare not say it. There are very few people who have no such idea at all.
Furthermore, the Texas bill is already very humane, after all, there are predecessors who come forward to interfere. With the Virginia bill, it only distinguishes whites from black people. Florida was the first to declare interracial intermarriage illegal and defined the concept of race: anyone, as long as they have one-eighth or more black blood, is considered a person of color. This is the beginning of the law of a drop of blood.
And the Texas bill added the Latin community. This is progress, leaving room for maneuver.
The original plan to go to New Orleans remains unchanged, but Sheffield was careful and asked Martin Luther King to find some black guards and go there with him at that time.
"It is you southerners who rely on their suffrage to establish laws and isolate the black people. Then they use the original tradition of holding guns to make the black people honest?" Annie listened for a long time and only extracted such a little useful information.
"You can't say that. There are customs in various places. Do you think Yang Ji-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke-Ke
Sheffield actually hoped that the United States would continue like this forever. After all, stability is greater than anything else, but he also knew that this was basically impossible, because the bill of the One Drop of Blood almost destined to isolate whites from the possibility of assimilating other ethnic groups. One thing is that black bloodlines are considered blacks, and if this continues, black ethnic groups will only grow bigger and fewer whites will be.
If the people from the Republic think so, the Tang Empire can only be considered a Hu dynasty.
"I didn't say this is wrong!" Anne said in a weak voice and said in a grievance, "Just ask casually."
"In fact, if this problem needs to be solved, I still expect European immigrants to join!" Sheffield said this. This is the only solution, but it is not possible now. Now when the United States' economy is not good and the economy is not good, people will be xenophobic. At this time, it should be the most xenophobic moment for citizens of the United States. It has reached the point where they do not distinguish between white, yellow, and black. Even if they are European immigrants, they will still arouse the disgust of citizens of the United States.
If Europe wants to immigrate to ensure that the main ethnic group of the United States does not have any problems, then Europe will not have a good life. Not only will war continue, but even if the war is stopped, the economy of these European countries cannot be comfortable. Only poor countries will continue to breed offspring. For the prosperity of the United States, it is best that Europe will become Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Sheffield himself doesn't like the United States ethnic group being too complicated. The reason is so simple. Just brainwashing the white group requires only one set of rhetoric, while brainwashing the three major ethnic groups requires different rhetoric. These rhetorics may even be contradictory, and it is not a long-term solution after all. If only the white group is, it will be much easier to fool them.
Sheffield brought two teams of bodyguards with distinct black and white. This time she really went out to see my country. Anne muttered with a strange look on her face, "Ao Saad? Dublin? Habsburg?"
"Didn't you Europeans say that the United States is a fake empire? That's right, these are all Texas cities. Look at the name of this city? That's right, Sheffield, it's a ranch near the Indian territory. My family is in the first ranch in Texas." Sheffield boasted at the map without being ashamed but proud,
"There is this?" Anne's bright eyes opened, and she was very curious about Sheffield's words.
"Of course, the former Indians received European immigrants from Mayflower, and we robbers' descendants must be grateful." Sheffield glanced at Anne, "so when fighting, let the Indians fight side by side with us."
Back in Sheffield, Texas, I changed into straw hats and overalls. The suit and ties were not suitable for the environment here, but Anne is a Frenchman and doesn't need to follow the local customs.
"The equipment of the factory must be innovated. It will take no time for European technicians to arrive." Sheffield pointed in the factory, as if he was really an expert in this field. But in fact, what he learned had nothing to do with the factory, and even bought a theology degree.
Not far from Sheffield, a child with oil on his hat was trying to carry parts. His tender face was full of fatigue, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"The mechanical innovation will make workers more comfortable!" Anne, wearing a white long skirt, added, pointing to the child laborers who work, "This will generate greater profits. The relationship between factories and workers is best to be grateful to each other. We are also grateful for the efforts of the workers."
