Chapter 8 Let's talk about it later

"Burn down Atlanta, and then use a little money to do superficial work. It seems that the people of the South want to thank you? Is that what you mean? Of course this is all in the past. Investing in a black women's university does not mean anything. Texas

Sri Lanka also appointed a black mayor, which doesn’t mean anything.” Isabella put her legs together in an elegant manner and said meaningfully, “Who can’t do surface engineering? Right?”

What Isabella is talking about is an appointment, not an election. In fact, the apparently black mayor is not elected. Black people do not have the right to vote. It’s just that the Texas Legion had a commander directly under Sheffield.

The black camp gathered together after the war, and Sheffield allocated a piece of land for them to live in.

After all, the United States is modern Rome. The ancient Roman code stipulates that slaves, women, and bankrupts do not have the right to vote. They are directly deprived of political rights for life. It is very normal for modern Rome to follow suit in this regard.

Not to mention black people, even women do not have the right to vote. Texas is different from other places in this regard. The entire southern states know that there are no adult men in charge of the Sheffield family, but the Texas Legion is

The only Confederate legion that retained its strength, Annabell bought a group of Eastern European immigrants to form the legion, and outsiders could shape it however they wanted.

And these Eastern European immigrants don't seem to be dissatisfied with a woman taking power, which is something that puzzles many people.

"After so many years, we are all in the United States. Don't hold grudges so much." James hesitated and emphasized, "As a professional manager, I came to discuss this matter on behalf of Mr. Rockefeller, and I have great sincerity."

"I won't hold grudges, but the same goes for other friends who were forced to go to Brazil. Mr. James should also know something about things in Brazil. I can reveal a piece of information. Maybe someone will come back after a while." Isa

Bella hesitated for a moment and stopped talking, "As for the cooperation between the two parties, I can't make the decision myself. Although my mother can make the decision, she is old. After the heir of the family completes his studies, it would be better for him to talk to you in person."

"Heir!?" James suddenly realized what he was thinking. He seemed to regret that there was no immediate progress in this communication, or for some other reason.

"Do you really think there are no men in my family?" Isabella picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip. She stared at the other party and said, "I heard that little Rockefeller also graduated from college. This is good. The second generation of both parties communicated.

Maybe it will be smoother."

"Isn't this? Miss Isabella is trying to trick me, right?" James asked with some doubts.

"There's no need!" Isabella wiped the coffee from the corner of her mouth and said softly, "If we can cooperate with the northerners, Standard Oil is naturally the best candidate. Our family's relationship with DuPont is the best choice for the world.

Everyone knows."

"Indeed, I know very well!" James nodded clearly, but it seemed that it was not just with the Dupont family, but who gave the Sheffield family a status that no one else had. The entire southern states, since the Civil War, seemed to have an invisible layer.

Without a protective shield, it would be very difficult for northern capitalists to do anything they want to do.

These Dixie people seem to have been brainwashed. No matter whose product they are, they will not buy it as long as it is produced in the North. Wall Street wants to eliminate hatred and find collaborators, but the plantation owners in the South are either hit hard or run away.

When I arrived in Brazil, I continued to run the plantation, but even if I wanted to find a partner, I couldn't find one.

The Republican Party has always advocated raising tariffs to protect domestic industries, which has led to rampant smuggling. Even the North cannot avoid this side effect, and the South is the stronghold of smuggling. As for the source of smuggling, it is easy to find. The South is

The only remaining remnant of the Confederacy that remains standing is not who he is.

The reason why smuggling is not easy to do now is not because the quality of American products has improved and the products of the United States are still the same, but because the Democratic Party came to power and lowered tariffs, which led to a decrease in smuggling profits.

"Actually, we can still talk again after Miss Isabella returns to the Rifle Association. Many people want to have more contact with your family." Before leaving, James nodded to Isabella.

"When things at home are over, I would like to meet more friends, but I may not leave Texas in the next month, but I will have a chance after all." Isabella nodded and shook her short short hair.

Isabella will stay in the south for a while. The reason is that she is waiting for a reply from Brazil.

"When they arrive in New Orleans, let William pick them up!" Annabel looked at her daughter who came in and said, "Don't think mother is unfair. He is the heir to the family and he should also get to know his former partners. Once the Brazilian War is over,

There must be many people who cannot stay any longer. The gap between the United States and Brazil in the past thirty years has been too obvious. If the environment is the same, many people will definitely choose to come back."

"As for the oil exploration, check to see if there is an exploration team sneaking over." Annabel thought for a moment and then ordered, "Your father said before that there are things under the ground in Texas that are unimaginable. This

That’s why my whole family moved here.”

"I just don't know what Standard Oil is thinking!" Isabella said with some worry on her face, "My daughter is a little worried."

"What are you worried about? It's not that we don't agree, we just need to slow down and let the second generation of the family discuss it. Even if I don't agree, do they still dare to come and rob? The National Rifle Association has 900,000 members, including Texas

There are 540,000 members in the South including Texas, the entire Army of the United States is only 30,000, and the Texas militia has 50,000 registered members. My husband’s inheritance is still very rich. Even a man like Du Pont would not dare to

Use dirty tricks on our family." Annabel nodded slightly and said indifferently, "What William wrote is still satisfactory. Whether we can gain an advantage over the Yang guys depends on whether the Pacific Coast can establish an advantage. Although it will take a long time.

We haven’t seen each other for years, and I believe our friends who are back from Brazil have a lot to say.”

"Graduate from me first, let's talk about graduating from college!" Annabel took a deep breath and changed the topic and asked, "It's still early for the election, but it seems that the Democratic Party is in trouble this time, but it's okay, anyway, Germany

Texas will never change."

"If there is a change of leadership, tariffs may have to be raised again." Isabella shrugged. She was very Buddhist about who would win. It was no longer the time when the Democratic Party had been suppressed for many years, when one party was always dominant.

Ordinary people would feel uncomfortable if they won, let alone them?

The reason why the Democratic Party was able to make a comeback is also related to the fact that the Republican Party has been winning for too long. Once they have secured their position, they always want to do something for those with vested interests. Neither the Yankees nor the Dixie people want to see a certain party become too expanded.
