"I just said that after the Civil War, there were only two to three million black people in the Dixie region of the United States and eight million white people."
"Excluding women and children among black people, there are less than one million black people working in the cotton fields."
"In the entire Dixie area, the main workforce is still white."
"Then, think about it, what kind of white man can become a slave owner and control a strong labor force of less than one million?"
Tom asked a question, an easy-to-understand question.
The three middle-aged women have also received systematic higher education, which can be said to be rare in this era.
The three of them were not fools, and they quickly understood this simple "truth".
"Are you saying that the slave owners in the South are just like the factory owners in the North, they are just a few individuals in the crowd?"
"That's true, but if you think about the situation when you lived in the north, did most factory employees have the right to speak politically, or did only a handful of factory owners?"
"this……"
Although these three women from the American Equal Rights Association are very reluctant to admit that the right to speak in society is now in the hands of a few people, the fact is that today's political rights are only in the hands of a few people.
"Realistic difficulties do not affect our aspirations!"
"The goal we strive for is to make everyone in the world truly equal."
"Yes, this is the original intention of joining the American Equal Rights Association."
After the three women recalled the dark side of politics in the north, they began to "deceive themselves".
Use words that express your ambitions to stimulate yourself, and don't be hindered by realistic difficulties.
This is the most remarkable characteristic of the greatest human rights fighter of this era - perseverance and unyielding resistance to practical difficulties.
This is also the reason why these three women can empathize with the incident constructed by Tom, in which Tom himself awakens after the attack on his brother-in-law.
"This is also my goal, but we must admit the confusion of reality and cannot paralyze ourselves with fictional fantasies."
"We need to face up to our predicament."
“Never forget the fight for equal rights!”
Seeing that the topic had gone astray, Tom did not bring it back immediately and forcibly interrupted the three middle-aged women's pledge of allegiance to the fight for equal rights.
Instead, he chose to go along with the other party's words, and also showed a wave of "loyalty" to egalitarianism, which invisibly brought the relationship between the two parties closer.
"But the reality is that no matter the South or the North, in the entire United States, those who have the right to speak are filthy and filthy villains."
"Look, there are millions of ordinary people in Dixie who have no slaves, are self-reliant, and are struggling to survive in difficult circumstances. Are they also unpardonable slave owners?"
"Of course they are not, they have all been deceived by politicians."
As he spoke, Tom raised his tone, and his tone even revealed a hint of anger and resentment.
"I once asked hundreds of ordinary Dixie farm families why they supported the slave-dominated Confederate States of America."
"The final truth made me angry. Dixie politicians deceived them, saying that Yankees were coming to the South to plunder their property, rob their homes, and conquer their land."
"You have also seen countless women working on the front line. These people work day and night every day, surviving in confusion and confusion. Where do they find the extra time to care about politics?"
"They only know that the Yankee government has indeed increased tariffs, causing the prices of their agricultural products to fall and making their lives a little more difficult."
"They started to resent the Yankees."
"But they have no idea that Yankees are raising tariffs to protect America's young industries."
"Without these high tariff protections, the industries of the American North would simply not be able to compete with Europe."
"In the end, the United States will become a large colony like India, without the social status it has today."
Tom's words began to penetrate deeply into the hearts of the three women. Their families were more or less engaged in industrial output, under the influence of their families and the environment.
They, who are well-read in poetry and literature, also agree with the theory that Tom, an American industry, developed under the protection of high tariffs.
"But the politicians in Dixie don't say that. They ignore all the key points of these matters."
"They only say to the innocent people:"
"It's the Yang guys who have made your life so miserable. They continue to increase taxes and even increase agricultural taxes. If you resist, they will conquer you by force!"
"Their emotions were officially aroused after Dixie politicians promised false promises such as tax exemptions after victory in the war."
"Look at the bloodshed that has broken out between garrisons and local residents in various places."
"To be fair to you, is there any local resident who is a big Dixie farmer or slave owner?"
"Is there any one in the garrison who is a factory owner?"
"Isn't this the same as the Civil War?"
"When a conflict breaks out, the real leaders on both sides hide behind the scenes and let countless civilians die and bleed!"
"But that's not even the most outrageous thing."
Tom clenched his fists and knocked on his legs a few times, as if he was about to break his legs.
The anger is difficult to conceal.
"The most outrageous thing is that I was smuggled from Germany to New York."
"I saw with my own eyes that after the Civil War, the victorious North did not change at all."
"Employees in factories still work sixteen hours a day, and farmers on farms still use simple tools to throw food into the soil."
"Last winter, countless coal miners without heating froze to death at the gates of coal mines in Pennsylvania."
“How many garment factory and textile factory employees have no clothes to keep out the cold and are working in the factory with nothing to cover their bodies.”
"How many cannery employees work hungry in the factory just to earn money to buy one or two of the thousands of cans they produce every day."
"This is also the motivation behind my determination to achieve equal rights in the world!"
“Only employees in factories, farmers on farms, women raising families, black slaves who once suffered from slavery, and other ordinary people can participate in political activities and improve themselves.
The right to speak.”
"Only with this can they gain true equal rights."
"After I came to America, I deeply loved this land without nobles."
“There is nothing I love more than the American Constitution—that all men are created equal.”
"But American politicians turned this sentence into a joke."
"I want to participate in the movement for equal rights for the American people and the people of the world!"
"The saying that all men are created equal, separated from the cold constitution, has become truly popular in every corner of the United States and even the world."
The carriage had just arrived next to Smith's Farm. Tom looked out the window and stopped, instead of running backwards into the fields, he opened the door first and walked out.
Tall Tom stood by the carriage door, stretched out a hand, and invited the three middle-aged women to get out of the carriage.
"Three beautiful ladies, Smith Farm has arrived."
"I will lay out my plan in detail for you in the conference room."
"Now, let's get ready to start the greatest affirmative movement in human history!"
