Chapter 10: Is back
Sheffield Shi Shiran walked away, waiting for the bodyguard on the side to whisper, "Master, why should you contact these people of forest origin?"
Forest ancestry was what the plantation owners said of black people before the Civil War. Africa gives the impression of the savannah and tropical rainforest. The white American group is from Europe. That is a standard feudal society. Unlike the centralized and authoritarian society in East Asia, it is very noble.
"Don't say this, the times are different, not the past, no matter how it is in the world of the United States. These black people are hired workers. Although the status has basically not changed, it is from farming to working." Sheffield is not stubborn. Replied that the economics of the plantation continued, and the geographic location of the United States would at most turn this country into a comprehensive and enhanced version of Canada and Australia, and it would not fall to Latin America.
Facts have proved that even if one of the alliance countries has passed through the predecessors, it can't resist the overwhelming demographic industrial and moral advantages of the United States. There is a saying in the movie that if you want to live, you have to change the living method.
At the beginning, the plantation owners in the south were wealthy, and they were unable to return to the overwhelming human and material resources of Yankee. This is the standard rich but not strong, it is no surprise that being looted. This is not a world where you are weak and reasonable.
"Find a place first, I'm going to wash my hands!" Sheffield shook his hands. The sweat glands of the black people were more developed. He wanted to wash them.
In fact, New Orleans is still very promising. Although it is a country like Cuba, Haiti, and Colombia, even if the mosquito is small, it is meat. Is there an industrial advantage that can form a scissors difference? It is sure to make money. It is not necessary to rely on the climate to be better than the north to make plantations.
Moreover, there seems to be oil in the underground of Texas. It should not have been extracted in this era. At least Sheffield has not heard of it. He does not know that there are already guests of standard oil to discuss. I also feel complacent.
Compared with the prosperity of the New Orleans fleet before the Civil War, New Orleans is still prosperous after a long period of recuperation, but the main business route has changed from the two sides of the Atlantic to commercial relations with Latin America. After all, apart from its connection with Africa, New Orleans has no advantage compared to American ports along the Atlantic Ocean.
Sunny Beach, no wonder it became the center of the South. In Sheffield ’s eyes, it is still a promising place. Latin American raw materials can enter the United States from here. Louisiana is not far from Texas. The hometown of the Sheffield family, the basic conditions are still very good.
Industry in Latin America cannot develop at all without accidents, and Latin America alone cannot escape it. The United States now has a first-mover advantage. There are really too many ways to strangle the little partner under the eyelids.
Later generations described a term in Latin America called the Latin American trap. In the case of a large proportion of traditional agriculture, large-scale enterprises, followed by the industrialization strategy of import substitution, gave priority to the development of heavy industry and small and medium-sized enterprises, resulting in excessive surplus labor and middle income The proportion of the population is small, the number of unemployed persons is large, the number of poor and absolute poor people is large, and wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people. This puts heavy pressure on the government's social security, which ultimately leads to high external debt and fiscal deficits, serious inflation, latent financial crisis, and even turbulence. This situation is called the "Latin American trap."
The above remarks cannot explain all the problems. If another country is added, it makes perfect sense. Paradise is too far, and the United States is too close. The United States will not allow Latin America to threaten itself. America is the America of the Americans, and the subtext is that America is the America of the Americans.
Why is it a subtext, isn't it because the old European empire took President Monroe's words as fart?
When a country is far from the strength of the United States, the United States will never look down upon it, but instead will pile up smiles and encourage the development of this country. But this country must be very weak. If you really want to become very powerful, that is, the treatment of the Soviet Union and the Republic. In this era, the United States ca n’t do anything about the so-called old imperialism in Europe.
"If it weren't for my own school, I would be expelled if I didn't go back for a long time." Sheffield lying on the recliner took it easy. She was standing and talking without backache.
"Master William, the Columbia on the port is the ship on the telegraph. Our guests are on the ship without any accidents!" A man said as he walked from far to near.
"The migratory birds are back to the nest!" Sheffield was agitated, and a carp immediately stood up from the deck chair, stretched out her hair and straightened her hair, and commanded, "We went to see it and waited so long, hope not to disappoint. . "
After the Civil War, a large number of plantation owners emigrated to Brazil to develop plantations again on Brazilian soil. Brazil is located in the tropics with sufficient heat, and most areas have abundant rainfall in the tropical rainforest, which provides good water and heat conditions for crop growth. The terrain of Brazil is mainly plains and plateaus, and the terrain is flat and open. At the same time, Brazil's soil is mainly fertile with brick red soil.
This is similar to the conditions in the early southern United States. It is this similarity that attracted a large number of unsustainable southern plantation owners to immigrate to Brazil. Anyway, for them, there is a huge amount of money to everyone.
But a good day is only about ten years. From the 1960s, Brazil has already called for the abolition of slaves. In the 1970s and 1980s, the government of Pedro II announced the decree of fetal freedom, which stipulated that the slaves were born. Children can be free. In the following years, slaves over the age of sixty were announced to be liberated. Seven years ago, during the regency of Pedro II's daughter Isabella, the House of Representatives passed the law of immediate and unconditional abolition of slavery under the pressure of the people.
But the difference in history is that with the backing of the Sheffield family, the Dixie immigrated to Brazil, once again set off the confrontation, it seems that they can never bear to fall twice in a pit. Because the situation they face is the same as that of the Civil War, the government's one-decree law occupies the moral high ground, but there is not even a penny of compensation. This is not the second time they will be robbed.
Unlike the plantation owners who finally endured their breath, they decided to go to war if they felt they were backed by the Sheffield family.
"Winning the civil unrest, losing the civil unrest, and now these families who have gone to Brazil, are not at the same level as the Sheffield family!" Sheffield was deeply impressed by Annabel's strong support at the beginning, and she was definitely driving the tiger. Swallowing wolves played a role in fueling the situation, and weakened these old planters who juxtaposed their homes.
Now that you can't beat it, you will have to resist it, and you will be more ruthless than Dupont, who sold France.
Sheffield stood at the dock waiting for the boat to dock. The passengers who had put on the boat had already disembarked. One group of young but well-dressed young men and women disembarked. When she saw Sheffield, one of the men used a slightly accented southern accent Said, "Sheffield?"
"Welcome back!" Sheffield took the initiative to extend his hand. These talents are real. Hu Hansan is back. Sheffield's family doesn't count, he never left.
