[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Just like what Margo said, those people in the Northern Federal Government have a headache.Of course, it goes without saying that the Freemasons are on the side of the South. From a standpoint, while safeguarding the interests of the United States, they are also more inclined to the South. This is why President Jefferson Johnson Will speak up and allow southern families to delay paying taxes.

But the president is biased towards the south, and the consortia behind the federal government can't stand it.

Why is there a civil war in the United States?It is because the blacks were trapped on the land of the plantations that the factories in the north were short of manpower, but now that the Civil War is over and black slavery has been abolished, their workers are still not enough, more than enough. Many blacks heard that the southern The treatment is better, just ran away!

But fight again!That's even more impossible!

These consortiums approached those politicians. Naturally, the acting governor of Georgia, who was appointed to Atlanta, encountered several groups of visitors before leaving.

Rhett arrived in Atlanta a week earlier than the poor acting governor, not only brought a lot of money to Marge, but also brought two important news to Marge and others.

One is that the incoming acting governor was once a well-known pro-Southern faction. More than that, at the beginning of the war, that is, the first Battle of Bull River in July 1861, Washington thought they would easily destroy the Confederacy The army of the government turned out to be defeated. What's more ironic is that because of the publicity in advance, many people in the north thought that the south was unfounded. Some ladies even went to the nearby picnic with picnic baskets to watch...

In that battle, the northern federal government was defeated. Many politicians were frightened and contacted the south in private, hoping to leave a way out for themselves.

The acting governor is one of them.

To be honest, if she could, Margot really didn’t want to bother with the acting governor, but after she heard that the Regent Queen Mother had mastered most of the petroleum products in the United States and set strict petroleum standards, Margot changed her mind. idea.

According to the history of another world, it should be the American oil tycoon who took the opportunity to rise, but now, it turns out that Britain has mastered the oil in the United States, making the American oil tycoon that should have appeared disappear on the stage of history.

When Margot knew this, her whole body turned cold.

Seeing his wife's pale face, George was very worried: "Margo, Margo, oh dear, what's the matter with you?"

"George, have you ever imagined? The future world may be a world of energy, and oil will become one of the most important energy sources in the world."

"I believe, of course I believe."

Margot said: "I always thought that I was very smart and powerful, just like now, because of me, the South did not lose. But now, I found that I made a major mistake. If I insist on my own way, it will make the political situation in the United States worse. turmoil, and at the same time, the society cannot be stable..."

George put his arms around his wife and said, "Oh, Margo, it's not your fault, it's not your fault. At least, you saw oil, and I can guarantee that no one in America has seen this yet. As long as we see it, we There is a chance."

"Of course, of course I know. Oil and electricity, these are the two most important resources in the future. But oil is a mine, and the federal government will never allow us to interfere with oil mines. The only thing we can get is electricity..."

"Margo, dear, just do what you want. If you don't, you don't know if it will work out in the end."

Margo sighed.

It's easy to say, but easier said than done?In fact, people have been studying electricity since the time of Louis XVI, but didn't electric lights become widely used until the beginning of the [-]th century?

It's a pity that she majored in chemistry, not physics, and she doesn't know much about those things!

What's more, oil!

After sorting out her thoughts, Margot raised her head: "Mr. Rhett Butler, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you again."

"Happy to serve you."

Margot took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Rhett, I'm afraid this matter will offend your Majesty the Queen Mother and put you in a deep prison. And I, because I'm from the south, I can't even treat you Reach out."

Rhett raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Although I don't understand, isn't Mr. Wilkes a member of the Freemasonry?"

"I'm afraid those people won't understand the importance of oil."

Reiter said: "It doesn't matter. As a speculator, I also know a few figures in the northern government. When necessary, I will make some small deals with them."

Margo could only say thank you in the end.

That's right, Ritter began to buy a large amount of oil-related bonds and stocks, and he still paid attention to young people who had ideas on it.But his luck was too bad, so it didn't take long for him to be targeted and thrown into prison.

The incident of Ritter going to prison has caused great repercussions among families in the South. Many people think that Ritter is a speculator, and it is most useful for him to go to prison, but Scarlett is more concerned. Ritter puts his money in where is it.

In fact, Scarlett was not the only one concerned about the whereabouts of Rhett's money, but also the Yankees, including the acting governor.

Rhett's imprisonment was taken over by George.

The moment she saw her husband's eyes, Margot knew that George was a Freemason.Now that there are guarantees from George and John Wilkes, Margo thinks she has put these things aside for the time being.

The situation soon changed again.

The surrounding counties of Atlanta, Macon, and Clayton have always been in order because of the existence of Barton Manor and Rose Manor, but after the acting governor came, everything changed.

Yes, as we enter 1866, election month begins.

Seeing that Margot and Suellen have more and more influence on Georgia, and the black people are becoming more and more loyal to these two wives, the acting governor and General Sherman can't sit still.

And some dirty scum in the south has also started their activities, and here again, Jonathan Wilkerson, the former overseer of Tara Manor, is the most prominent.

Jonathan is a bit capable of becoming the overseer of a large manor.But he was morally corrupt, and after being dismissed from Tara Manor, he held a grudge even more. He encouraged those blacks, told them that blacks and whites were equal, and even urged those blacks to rape white women behind his back!

More than one woman was victimized, and more than one woman was nearly humiliated!

In fact, in the South, "lowly nigger" is also a very insulting term. Although in the eyes of the public, the adoption of black slavery in the South seems to discriminate against black people more, but in fact, compared with southerners And the northerners, it's really hard to tell who is more discriminating against the black group, the southerners or the northerners.

Just like every household in the South has black male servants and black maids, for these male servants and female servants, the southerners regard them as their relatives, just like Henry Hamilton, when it rains, he will even talk to himself valets share an umbrella!Not to mention, every child in the southern family grew up in the arms of Hei Mama.

But the ladies from northern families who just came to Atlanta don't think so. For example, the wives of the Yankee officers, seeing the female blacks who came to their homes with letters of recommendation to apply for jobs, all of them are not good. Some even yelled: "Damn it! How could I give my child to a nigger! I want a white maid! An Irishman!"

Many black women said that they all had the same experience, and the Yankees didn't pay attention to them at all.

Here's what black women say:

"When I was at Mrs. XXX's house, my wife praised me for my handiness. Seeing my sewing, my wife would say, good boy, you did a great job, and the stitches are so fine... But that woman, when she saw me Just put my face down, thinking I couldn't hear the word nigger out of her mouth!"

Those black people, inspired by others, thought that they could take away white people's houses and white people's property if they had the right to vote, so they came to Atlanta with their own little property, got drunk in pubs, and then took to the streets , start insulting|humiliating|women with words like "they're free to do whatever they want" ringing in their heads.

Despite Marge's best efforts, the law and order in Atlanta is deteriorating day by day.
