[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

General Sherman was familiar with the style of those politicians.

Yes, those people headed by the acting governor did have their eyes on Margot and Suellen, otherwise, the scandal about Frank Kennedy would not have caused such a big deal.

But politicians are politicians after all. There are not only politicians in the Northern Federal Government, but also many politicians in the South. Although with the surrender of the Southern Confederate Government, these politicians have lost power just like the paper money and bonds of the Confederate Government, but their influence The force is still there.

Not to mention, the current president, Mr. Johnson, is a southerner.

Masonic origin made this gentleman attach great importance to Georgia and to Margot and Suellen. He even called the acting governor of Georgia himself, asking him to respect these two wives as much as possible.

"...My dear friend, you have to admit that the United States is about to face big|trouble|trouble. The end of the war is only the beginning. The weight of a sentence. Dollars, I mean, most of the dollars in the market today are fake. There is no doubt that there are Jews and Britons behind these fake dollars. But there is nothing we can do, my friend. These Jews And the British, they just keep printing dollars and they can make prices in America skyrocket and keep America in turmoil. A lot of wealth will be concentrated in the hands of the Jews and the British. Damn, thinking about it makes me so sad Want to throw a chair in that Brit's face! But we all know that Brit is just an ambassador, and the woman who really manipulates the dollar is still sitting in Buckingham Palace. My friend, what I want to say is , maybe the future of the United States depends on three women..."

President Johnson not only wrote to the acting governor of Georgia, but also to many others.

Accompanied by this letter, I don’t know how many transactions are behind it, and I don’t know how many interest disputes are behind it, and I don’t know how many times the federal government has negotiated with the United Kingdom behind the scenes. In the end, the United States can only choose to admit those false The legitimacy of U.S. dollar bills also recognizes that these counterfeit U.S. dollar bills can continue to be used in the market.

Afterwards, a senior member of the Freemasonry wrote in his diary:

"...We don't know whether this is right or wrong, but at that time, we really couldn't keep the US dollar in the hands of the federal government. The British had more advanced printing technology in their hands, and we just recycled old coins It won't be long before the new banknotes are issued, and the UK will print new US|notes. It's not surprising."

"...Maybe giving up the US dollar and leaving the government's control will make us bear the stigma, but it is better than angering the UK and continuously issuing US dollar bills, causing US prices to skyrocket and social unrest. Maybe that Clarke's solution would be a good one..."

Not only Georgia and the South, but even the federal government and Washington have turned their attention to Atlanta.

Before the end of the war, the center of the South was Richmond, once the capital of the Confederate government, where the presidential palace of the Confederate government was located.

And now, when the eyes of the federal government and the Freemasonry are focused on Atlanta, the nature of Atlanta has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The city, not much bigger than Scarlett, has grown enough, even more so than older big cities like New Orleans and Charleston.

More and more people, whether black or white, are crowding into Atlanta, which puts tremendous pressure on Atlanta's traffic and living conditions.

White people are okay, they can always find a job and a place to live, but for most black people, they are illiterate and have no money, so they can only make a living by begging, petty theft or even robbery.

This has brought tremendous pressure to the law and order in Atlanta.

At the same time, hygiene also requires time and money to maintain. Without money, it means that the level of hygiene cannot keep up, which means that plagues and diseases are raging.

This makes the people with lofty ideals in Atlanta feel worried.

People gathered at Clark's house again.

Of course, no one thinks that Marge should take in those black people for free. Even if Marge’s family is big and one of the richest people in the South right now, she has no obligation to do so.

In this regard, George Clark's reaction was also very direct:

"Friends, Margo and I, we're going to add this to our campaign speeches, and yes, if I'm elected governor, I'll be building low-rent housing all over Atlanta, aka the Queen Regent of the U.K. His Majesty built a large number of tube buildings in England at the beginning..."

This is what Margot and George have discussed.

There is no way, this world allows a lady to show kindness, take in those homeless blacks, provide them with food and housing, and provide them with jobs, but this world will never allow a woman to enter the political arena.

No matter how smart Marge is, in politics, she can only serve as George's backing and decoration.

After all, the United States is not the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom allows Her Majesty the Regent Queen Mother to appear, but in the United States, female politicians are absolutely not allowed.

Sexism, like racism, pervades every corner of the world.

"... those Yankees have made countless promises to canvass for them, and we can do the same. It's just a promise. With our current financial resources, we can fully do it."

This is also the conclusion that Margot, Scarlett, and Suellen came to after countless calculations.

Dr. Meade was still worried: "But, do we have so many medicines and supplies? I mean, with so many people, the food alone is enough."

Scarlett said unhappily: "In order to canvass votes, the Yankees provided free food to those blacks and blacks, and used trains to pull them from this city to that city. I mean, they are voting repeatedly! But we southerners People, we can only vote once! And women don't have the right to vote!"

A large number of young and strong people in the south died in the war, and even the elderly went to the battlefield.Most of the rest in the South today are women.

Coupled with the fact that women did not have the right to vote, if the blacks again sided with the Yankees, it would not be surprising that the South suffered a disastrous defeat in this election.

What Scarlett said was true, if women also had the right to vote, then the South and the North would have more leverage in competing for votes.

Many people actually agreed with this matter in their hearts, but on the surface, everyone couldn't nod their heads, and even Ellen had to stop Scarlett to express their approval and obedience to the tradition.

Unexpectedly, John Wilkes spoke:

"On this point, I also agree. Most families in the South today have only women and children, and some families do not even have boys. Ladies have sacrificed too much for the South. Our ladies need weapons to protect themselves , a weapon to protect our own children. Maybe after this election, we can get the state legislature to vote to give women the right to vote."
