[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Although it is said that the war destroyed the old era and the old customs were gone with the wind, the time for the war to end was too short.In just two or three years, how can these war-stricken families get out of the pain of war?

Not to mention that the gentlemen and wives of the upper class in the south all grew up in that old era, and their behavior style still has the obvious style of the old era.

The old rules of the old times are: women are delicate, men should protect women, this is a man's responsibility and obligation, some things do not need to let women know, women just need to dress neatly and sit in front of the fireplace and whisper It's enough to talk to men carefully and please them.

Adhering to this tradition, even if men have something to do, they will not tell the women. They even go to the tavern to discuss it in order to hide it from the women at home.

If it were Scarlett, these men would definitely succeed, just like in the original book, until Frank Kennedy died, Scarlett was shocked to find that the men he was familiar with, from her husband Frank, to the man she was obsessed with Ashley started, almost all the southern men she knew had joined the Ku Klux Klan!

Who is Margo?Even if the men don't tell her, she has her own sources.

Almost at the same time, through the black people, Margot knew that the Ku Klux Klan had come to Atlanta and had contact with George, Ashley and others.

As a comrade-in-arms, George Clark, who successfully became governor in the first election, is not only the darling of the Freemasons, but also the target of the Ku Klux Klan.

In other places, the Ku Klux Klan is very active, because there are endless incidents of black people insulting white people and raped white women everywhere. The influence in the middle makes the black people in Atlanta feel grateful.

They not only maintain the reputation of Margot and Suellen, but also maintain the main force of law and order in Atlanta.Even if there are new blacks who don't follow the rules, they will be restrained by them.

This method of using barbarians to control barbarians is naturally learned from the Far East, but the effect is leveraged.

Therefore, many black |sports|sports|groups|groups outside could not enter, and naturally there would be less conflicts, a lot.

This is also the leader of the Ku Klux Klan in Atlanta

What Claude Morgan least understood.

He said this to Ashley and the old Meliweather behind the bar: "You know what? When I first arrived in Atlanta, I saw women walking on the street with parasols, and their faces were only relaxed and smiling." At that time, I would have thought that this was Atlanta before the war!"

Papa Meliweather put a pitcher of beer in front of Claude Morgan: "Atlanta before the war was not so big, nor did it have such a large population."

Claude nodded again and again: "I know. The population of Atlanta before the war was only about [-]. If I didn't know it in advance, I would have thought it was New Orleans. No, it should be Richmond."

Speaking of Richmond, the bar immediately fell silent.

This bar is run by Papa Merryweather. Before the war, Papa Merryweather had never done this job, but now, he had to come out to earn a living.

There is no way, who made this world change?If he didn't come out to work, would his wife, Mrs. Merryweather, come out to work?

As a typical southern man, it was obviously impossible for Papa Merryweather to do this.

Of course, Papa Merryweather's was also a social hangout for Southern men.Almost every Southern man would stop by and sit when they had time, and then go home before supper.

But now, there were quite a few people in the bar. Everyone was silent when they heard the place name Richmond.

Everyone knew what Claude meant when he mentioned Richmond.

After Ashley and Merryweather's father exchanged a look, Merryweather's father said in a meaningful tone: "Richmond's life is not easy, many people have moved from Richmond to Atlanta gone."

Papa Merryweather wasn't lying.In fact, several manless planter families around Richmond moved to Atlanta.Some of these families are better off with children, and almost only a few terrified women are left.

Crowder said: "I heard that the first thing Mr. Clark did after he was elected was to appoint a new judge and start trial?"

Ashley heard and smiled: "Yes, this is the expectation of the whole Atlanta."

John Wilkes is the new justice, and Ashley is also a juror in the court system.

Not only that, but many men in the South are now working in the court system. Of course, they have passed strict assessments in advance. People who can't even spell will definitely not be able to enter the court system.

Of course, the impact of this matter is enormous.

To everyone.

In the original book, when Ashley had to give up Twelve Oaks Manor because he couldn't afford the tax money, he wanted to go to the north. He even wrote to his friends in the north to find a job in the bank for himself.But Scarlett even used Melanie out of selfishness. In the end, Ashley stayed in Atlanta, but the soul of the Wilkes family was destroyed.

But now, both the Wilkes and his son work in the courthouse, and this is the job that suits them best.

And such a job, whether it is John Wilkes or Ashley, they cannot refuse, of course, it will not damage the eternal soul of the Wilkes family.

You can tell by looking at Ashley that his spirit is different.

His eyes were firm and steady. Obviously, he loved this job. This job would not expose him to the torture of conscience like exploiting prisoners, and it also maintained his dignity and personality.

This is really very different from the job offered to him by Liscalite in the original book.

Every day now, Ashley feels meaningful.

Interrogate each prisoner, confirm the time, place and process of the incident, confirm the responsible party and the party at fault, and make a final judgment on the case.

Ashley kept Margot's words firmly in mind, and made a very detailed analysis of all the cases. In his hands, not only a considerable number of white people were released, but even those black people who were innocently involved were released. more equitable treatment.

He feels that his every day is very fulfilling.

This is why Ashley said that this is Atlanta's expectation.

Because he is so convinced.

But apparently some people don't see it that way.

"It's natural to acquit the white people!" Claude said arrogantly, "But why let those niggers go?!"
