[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Because of the existence of Marge, the situation in Atlanta is already considered good. There have been several armed conflicts in other places. In secret, there have been several incidents between the Ku Klux Klan, the federal government that took over the southern states, the army under the federal government, and black people. This armed conflict also killed many people.

The reason why men clashed with the army, blacks, and inferior whites was not so much the resentment of being taken away from their homes, as it was to protect the women at home.

In the original book, Scarlett, who is determined to go her own way, would not know this at all—no one else would tell her—but now, as Marge’s twin sister, she also helps Marge, even if she doesn’t want to know, she can’t. There will be many people who will tell her all kinds of things.

Scarlett is very confused:

"I've never heard of such a thing!"

"How is this possible? Isn't the war over?"

"Why? Why did this happen?"

From the initial confusion, to the resentment against the Yankees, and later, it developed into dissatisfaction with her sister Marge.

"You must have a way, right?"

At dinner that day, Scarlett looked like a cat with a blown fur, staring at a pair of green eyes that looked like they were about to breathe fire, and said to his sister Margot:

"You must have a way of settling this matter, can't you?"

Margot said lightly: "And then?"

"What then! Just end it! I can't take it anymore!"

Margot glanced at her sister lightly, and there was only peace in her eyes.

Seeing that his daughter's expression was not right, Gerald said: "Margo, dear, I don't understand you, I know that. It can't be helped, I'm just a farmer. Tell me, dear, do you have Method……

Looking at the hesitant father, then at the worried mother, then at the concerned husband, and at the younger sister Suellen, as well as Ashley and Melanie who had to stay at Clark's house because the house was not repaired Ni and Charles, Margot can only say:

"Father, it's not whether I have the ability, but I must take into account the ideas of the South, the federal government, and His Majesty."

Scarlett rages: "What does this have to do with that woman!!!"

Margot said: "It's very relevant. If His Majesty the Regent Queen Mother wants to attack the United States, if she doesn't want to see the United States become stronger, and does not want the United States to surpass the United Kingdom, then now is the best opportunity. The aftermath of the American Civil War has not subsided. The conflict between whites and blacks is intensifying, and racial discrimination is becoming more and more serious, all of which will affect the stability and development of the United States..."

Hearing what Mag said, several people present frowned.

"What did you say? Beyond England? How is that possible?"

Mag said: "Yes, this is what I am most worried about. War is the catalyst for the development of science and technology."

"Wait, what does this sentence mean?"

Scarlett didn't understand.

"It's literally." Seeing that several people present couldn't understand, Margot had to explain: "Just like the restoration of the French dynasty before, in addition to getting great benefits from the public debt, Britain is also Other places have received a lot of benefits. For example, France has provided a lot of weapons. France has lost a lot of people and wealth, but British factories have received a lot of orders. This is why when the war first started, Britain would support the South. The South supplied great quantities of cotton to British factories, and Great Britain supplied the South with large quantities of arms...”

"Yes, we all know this." Scarlett said, "But in the end, the South was abandoned by the British!"

Not only Scarlett thought so, but most of the men present also thought so.

It's because of Britain's defection

"It's not right to say abandonment." Margot said: "It should be said that from the beginning to the end, Britain has adopted the choice that is most beneficial to itself."

Britain is a small country with limited resources, so the country was destined to expand outward from the beginning.

Colonies are an important way for Britain to plunder resources from all over the world to develop itself, and it is also the only way out!

The United Kingdom does not have so many resources on its own, and the development of the country depends on the resources the country has.

Because of so many overseas colonies, Britain has become a world power. Without overseas colonies, Britain is nothing.

Why did Britain support the Confederate government before?It is because the Confederate government is, in a sense, similar to a British colony—providing Britain with cheap cotton and other raw materials, and then buying all kinds of cotton cloth and other British goods.

The south is the source and market of British raw materials.

Even for its own benefit, Britain had to support the Confederate government at the outset.

But why did Britain turn around?

Britain is a constitutional monarchy. Although the monarchy has a lot of rights, in fact, the rights of the feudal dynasty are still in a downward trend on the whole. It doesn't help that Her Majesty the Regent Queen Mother is a prophet.

Why did Britain abandon the Confederate government and choose the federal government?

Margo thinks this way, people from the south, and weapons from the UK. The combination of the two can only suppress the federal government in the north, but it has not achieved the strategic goal of eliminating the federal government in the north. This is one aspect.On the other hand, due to the war, the major factories in the north have been fully developed. That is to say, even though the industrial strength of the federal government is not as good as that of the United Kingdom, it has laid a solid foundation for the industry to compete with the United Kingdom in the future. Foundation.

If Britain still desperately supports the Confederate government at this time, instead of choosing to find a way to control the North, what is waiting for Britain is the future of the United States challenging Britain in the future!

That is to say, in order to maintain its position as the world's hegemon in the future, Britain also had to choose to abandon the Confederate government and choose to control the federal government and the development process of American industry.

"Just like my Barton Manor, at the beginning, we could only produce products such as gauze, bandages, homespun cloth, and coarse cloth. Later, we were able to produce printed muslin cloth. This is also because of the stimulation of the war."

Although those machines were developed bit by bit according to the drawings provided by Marg, Marg also admitted that it had a lot to do with the war.Because of the war and the blockade, European products could not enter, so Barton Manor monopolized the supply of cotton cloth in several southern states, without worrying about the market and customers, which made the textile industry of Barton Manor and Macon get sufficient supply. develop.

Of course, Margo did not deny the intelligence of those black people.Although many people here have neither read nor written, they are very smart.Margo just took things apart and told them bit by bit, and they put together different spinning machines themselves.

The current scale of Barton Manor is inseparable from the efforts of these black people.
