[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

In the eyes of later generations, the death of President McKinley became the turning point of the dispute of the century between Butler and Morgan.

But the turning point even more represents that the war between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage from a stalemate.

The new president is a person who is extremely opposed to the economic control and market monopoly practice of the big northern consortium, so from the moment the new president takes office, Morgan has no favorable situation to speak of.

Morgan, who has strong capital, does not think that his game is a dying struggle - until the last moment, who knows who will die.Even after passively entering such a predicament, what he did was to use tougher means to deal with Butler, so for a long time after the new president took office, Butler's company had no room to breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the former president was assassinated, after the new president took over, the security level of the president has been raised several levels after the approval of the Congress, which is not the same as that of the former president. After his life is safe, he has almost no personal freedom, but this also makes it impossible for "people with a heart" to do it.

The personal safety of the new president has been effectively guaranteed, so there is nothing to stop the new president's eagerness to reform.

Even if he is facing a merciless attack from Morgan on his country's currency.

On the one hand, the president announced restrictions on the entry and exit of gold and new monetary policies, and on the other hand, he began to send people to investigate Morgan.

Just when the new president hit a bottleneck, he felt the kindness from Butler under the help of others.

Originally, the new president was quite dissatisfied with these large consortiums that could subvert the country in their hands. Their monopoly and oppression made many lower classes more impoverished. They used the capital in their hands to control the lifeline of the country and seize people The jaw-dropping interests tore apart the entire society. Their fortune made the country stand out, but it was also they who hindered the country's greatest development.

But in his impression, the Butler family was a little different.

He still heard a lot of rumors about Butler.

As the richest man in the south, Butler has only slowly entered the north in recent years. Compared with those deep-rooted northern consortiums, Butler has won emerging markets in one fell swoop by virtue of his extraordinary vision and precise strategy.

Butler has also funded many national infrastructure projects, and assisted in the construction of many charitable projects such as hospitals, schools, orphanages, nursing homes, women's homes, nurseries, shelters, etc. He has not forgotten to give back to the society while obtaining benefits.

Perhaps because the person in power is a woman, Butler's treatment of male and female employees has almost reached the point of equal treatment.

Judging from the information obtained, compared with other companies that are not even willing to hire women, or deliberately lower women's salaries, Butler's company has achieved equal pay for men and women for equal work, and this is particularly shocking to the new president. How did Butler do it, trapped within a traditional family and a male-dominated environment without greater access to educational opportunities?

Looking a little deeper, women in Georgia have had the same educational opportunities as men over the years, and the college rate has increased significantly.It began when the Butler family established the first girls' school in Atlanta.

In Georgia, the home base of the Butler family, the reputation of the Butler family is obvious to all.

And all of this was gradually perfected after Mrs. Wilkes, the current head of the Butler family, came to power.

This lady took the position under great pressure, but with the full support of Rhett Butler, she quickly took control of all the power, and in Rhett's semi-retired state, she quickly expanded Butler's career territory, but they did not Giants that have not learned from the North generally monopolize the industry, but continue to expand new resources.

While taking care of her own family business, Mrs. Wilkes is committed to the cause of women's equal rights, not only funding behind the scenes, but also participating in it personally, and Butler's company's treatment of equal pay for men and women for equal work proves that she is doing it with practical work. It proves that everyone is equal.

Perhaps this family is really different from other consortium families.

Because of this idea, the new president does not have much rejection of Butler's kindness, but Morgan's increasingly explicit and powerful offense is the biggest reason why the new president is determined to cooperate with the Butler family.

To the President's surprise, Butler's conditions were not harsh. Compared with the conditions offered by Morgan when he tried to turn the tide, they were nothing more than the conditions, but their additional conditions turned out to be a bill that allowed him to promote women's suffrage. .

Such conditions make people dumbfounded.

Maybe he really didn't choose the wrong partner, the president thought silently.

Sure enough, the Butler family did not disappoint the president. While Morgan continued to withdraw capital to create signs that the United States was about to collapse, it injected new funds. When there was a large-scale bank run, it also provided a large amount of gold to withstand the pressure. The dollar will not collapse.

On the other hand, the President ordered an investigation into Morgan, and in the State of the Union address submitted to Congress, he wrote related statements about Morgan's monopoly, operating capital to control stock prices, affecting the public and threatening the status of the democratic government. At the same time, he also issued an announcement to the people of the country. determination to fight monopoly.

In order to further stabilize the morale of the army, the president used the "Sherman Act" to take the Morgan Group to court in the name of the government.

The new president has proved that he represents the interests of the country with vigorous and decisive means.

And his bottom line is the national interest.

On this point, the Butler family is on the same side as the country.

☆

Facts have proved that the pace of the times has never been stopped by people.

The importance of participating in politics is to gain rights, power and interests.

And their ultimate goal is to gain benefits.

They all complement each other.

Behind a few simple words, there is no bottom line of competition and endless game.

It's not enough to have money, because no matter how rich you are, it may be wiped out when you encounter power.Therefore, after many people start from scratch, they will do everything possible to climb up to the powerful, even if they can't benefit each other, they can't let the other party become their stumbling block.

Many great families that have stood tall in American history are behind the political center.

These families have become the biggest support for the participating parties in the game, and they are also their behind-the-scenes hands. In a society where capital is rampant, no political decision can be separated from the shadow behind it.

The political and economic center of the United States is in the north. As excluded southerners, the Butler family did not really enter the gate of this secret garden until Morgan's madness. Compared with those big families that have already taken root, the Butler family's The advantages and disadvantages are also obvious, but in Bonnie's view, as long as you enter this gate, you will have no chance.

Everything is the result of management, and those big families and big consortiums that have taken root didn't get into it all at once.

Everyone wants to get a greater benefit from it.

Therefore power is particularly important.

Men who have long known the marrow and taste have long known.

And the women who have already awakened just found out.

They yearn for power, but they keep suppressing their right to power.

The road to women's suffrage is not easy. In the big era, most women are indifferent to politics. Their education is bound by tradition, which is not enough for them to think that they should participate in it.

Even white traditional women who have received enough education are deeply influenced by the ideas of good wives and mothers of the previous generation, and they simply cannot spend too much time participating in politics. Family is always the first in their hearts, let alone argue with men , Talk about your views on the existing situation.

And even after they really get the right to vote, those old-fashioned and ignorant women don't know how to use their power to protect themselves, while traditional women focus on their husbands, and their votes depend on their husbands. These traditional women focus on women's altruism Doctrine, and these are not really equal rights for women at all-in fact, decades after American women got the right to vote, they failed to use their votes to influence the situation at that time.

When men dominate, they always pervasively instill some patriarchal ideas in women, such as secretly adding the concept of "women should return to the family" in laundry detergent advertisements and detergent advertisements, because they are all easy hints and subtle influences effect is quite obvious.

If these are all stumbling blocks for women's equal rights, then what is even more terrifying is the extreme feminist thinking, promoting sex and liberation is nothing at all. Some people are preaching that marriage is a business, and women play a role in it. The role is a sex commodity that sells one's own body, and the factions separated by feminism make feminists still struggle within.

The street protests these days are still going on. Bonnie was distracted in the fight against Morgan to let the newspapers and magazines under her control vigorously promote the fact that women should get the right to vote. After the previous president was shot dead by anarchist organizations, The feminist movement did not fade because of this. On the contrary, it became even more vigorous. Some voices said that the president was killed because the dirty politics required women to use "purity" to cleanse. These public outrages subsided, and it happened that this was the time when Morgan and Butler were fighting the most fiercely. The economic downturn affected almost everyone, and the social anger exploded.

If it is said that everything was fermenting for women to get the right to vote, then when the society was in a downturn, many people began to reflect, and these reflections made the calls for women to get the right to vote become louder and louder.

In fact, there have been many proposals on women's suffrage before, but almost all of them were directly rejected. Over time, this has become a taboo.

After picking up Morgan, the president made a public speech in support of women's suffrage.

That is to say, half a month later, Georgia passed the bill of women's suffrage, which amended the provisions of the state law that women could not vote. Then, the second and third states...

However, it is not easy for the big men in Congress to pass such a bill, even when many states below have given women the right to vote.

In fact, in history, the reason why American women gained the right to vote was World War I. Because more labor force was needed, more women had to be required to work, which made women start to "open up". During the downturn, women once again became the ones who "robbed men" of their jobs, and by the time of World War II, women were encouraged to go to work, and they dedicated themselves to the country. After World War II, history repeated itself again, and women played in the war The light was covered up again, which triggered the second feminist movement in the 60s.

In a word, women can only use their talents when men find them useful.

Getting women the right to vote is more like fighting for power with men, so it will not be passed easily. Even if the president expresses his support, it will take two years for women to really get the right to vote.

The President himself signed the decree, and this amendment was written into law.

On the day when the bill was passed, almost all the members of the American Blue Alliance hugged each other and wept. Even Scarlett, who was the most indifferent to politics, hugged Melanie, who was crying so hard that she couldn't help herself, and was silent for a long time.

Of course those are things for later.

All this is just the beginning.

☆

Morgan was defeated by the joint encirclement and suppression by the government and Butler, but his strong strength still allowed him to gain a firm foothold among the top consortiums in the United States.In order to fight Morgan unprecedentedly, Bonnie and Rhett stayed in New York for half a year, almost causing the entire Butler family to go north.

If it wasn't for the cold weather, Scarlett planned to stay for a while longer.After Morgan was forced to attend the court with the government as the prosecution, Reid left Bonnie and returned to Atlanta first, and couldn't wait to go back and reunite with Scarlett.

Xiaobo also took baby Matthew to New York to stay with Bonnie for two or three months. Fortunately, Xiaobo's music school was also on track, and his own team began to make independent decisions. He stayed with Bonnie in New York He was not idle when he was there, but led the whole team to discuss the opening of a branch school.

The two are busy in their own way during the day, but at night is the sweetest time for the young couple. Baby Matthew, who has begun to run around the house, is busy getting close to the two, and is soft and tired in their arms He slurred the words he just learned today.

Fearing that the baby would not get used to it, Scarlett personally came to snatch baby Matthew, no, she took it home.

By the time Bonnie came home it was already spring.

Atlanta's spring flowers are full of flowers, and the wind blows the fragrance of flowers gently blowing the city that is glowing with new life.

Everything is moving forward in an orderly manner.

The late nineteenth century was definitely a wonderful time for Bonnie.

The inflow of capital made the United States just rise, and almost all the top consortiums came into being in this era.Reform, change, progress, and forward, they push this country into an era that stands out from others.

If it was said that Bonnie had a strong strategic vision by relying on the golden finger of crossing in the past, then now that Bonnie has more resources in her hands, she is confident enough to lead the Butler family to stand firm in this emerging economy.

Life is short for dozens of years, but she still has a long way to go.

Just like the road to women's equal rights, it never stops.

The giant wheel of the times has been moving forward, and perhaps next, it will be her era.

The author has something to say: the text is over.

There are still drops in the episode~

Because I jumped into the big pit of women and rights, so the direction of the article deviated from the original outline track, but I didn't regret it, because I also wanted to understand a lot, and I was a bit hasty in writing at the end, forgive me.

Happy New Year (づ￣3￣)づ~
