Chapter 441 Then Defeat Half of the United States!

Today's Congress is not controlled by the capitalists in the north and the plantation slave owners in the south. How can his own strength be the opponent of these huge forces.

As Chen Mo said, Henry Clay just got ahead of the southern slave owners and attacked him in advance. Even without him, his fellow southerners would not let him go.

Zachary Taylor deeply felt the horror of politics, far more than he thought.

Even if he abandons his personal gains and losses and puts the national interests first, he will eventually infringe on the interests of others, making them want to get rid of them quickly.

The funny thing is that he didn't understand this until he died, and simply thought that he was really sick and died.

If it weren't for Chen Mo, he would never have known that there were so many intricate things behind it.

Maybe he shouldn't have been running for president in the first place, and being a farmer on his cotton plantation might have been the best place for him.

Thinking of this, Zachary Taylor couldn't help feeling disheartened, and his eyes dimmed instantly. He sat on the bed slumped, lowered his head, stared blankly at the quilt in front of him, and was speechless for a long time.

Victor and James looked at Chen Mo worriedly when they saw his appearance.

Chen Mo smiled and asked Zachary Taylor softly.

"Don't you want revenge?"

"revenge?"

Zachary Taylor still lowered his head and whispered softly in his mouth. Chen Mo could see the violent fluctuations in his eyes. After a while, the violent fluctuations completely stopped. Zachary Taylor gently Shaking his head, he said in a low voice.

"What if you take revenge? If you kill Henry Clay, there will be other bankers' spokespersons. If you kill the bankers, there will also be factory owners, manor owners, and slave owners. I can't kill them all. Bar?"

Clearly, Zachary Taylor has lost faith in this dark and decadent country dominated by capitalists.

"Then do you want to abolish slavery?"

There was a smile on Chen Mo's mouth.

"Yes! Of course I do! But I can't, and neither can the next president! Those slave owners represent half of America! Slavery cannot be abolished unless we defeat half of America!"

As a plantation owner himself, Zachary Taylor is very aware of the powerful influence of southern slave owners in the entire southern United States, and the entire southern states are completely under the control of these slave owners, from the military, to the state and county governments, to the bottom. From commoners to slaves, all were under the control of these plantation slave owners.

When he was in office, all he wanted was to prevent slavery from spreading to other states in the United States and maintain the status quo, and never thought of abolishing slavery completely.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't!

Slaves are the private property of the plantation owners, their free labor, and if slavery is abolished, they must pay those who work the plantations for them at the price of hired commoners, and their balance of payments will be broken. , and even if they can't make ends meet, a large number of plantations will go out of business.

Slaves are the lifeblood of the plantation slave owners. It is impossible for the slave owners to allow slavery to be abolished. This touches their most fundamental interests. If the US government forces the abolition of slavery, the final result will only be the secession of the southern slave states. Commonwealth, and possibly even civil war.

"Then beat half of America!"

Chen Mo's tone was extremely relaxed and casual, as if he was not talking about a strong United States, but a weak and small country.

"Defeat them?"

Zachary Taylor muttered.

"Yes, politics and compromise cannot solve the slave problem, the only way is war!"

"It's just that the time is not yet ripe. Fifteen years from now, slavery will be completely history!"

"fifteen years?"

Talking about the deadline given by Chen Mo, Zachary Taylor's gloomy eyes couldn't help but light up.

Although I don't know why Chen Mo concluded that slavery would end in fifteen years,

But having personally experienced the magical ability to come back from the dead, Zachary Taylor is now as blind as Victor and James to Chen Mo's words.

Fifteen years may sound like a long time, but in Zachary Taylor's view, it's already very fast. In his original intention, it is estimated that slavery in the United States will not be possible until the twentieth century, or even after the twenty-first century. completely overthrown.

For a system that is deeply ingrained in a country and has been implemented for nearly a hundred years, and this system also involves the fundamental interests of the ruling half of the country, wanting to change it is not an overnight thing. Fifteen years, it has been very short.

Zachary Taylor can imagine that these fifteen years will never be peaceful. As Chen Mo said, politics and compromise cannot solve the slave problem, and the only way is war!

Only by defeating half of the United States can slavery be completely abolished!

What will end slavery must be a great war that is even bigger and more tragic and magnificent than the US-Mexico War!

"If you want, then you can join the army with Victor and James and end slavery with your own hands!"

Chen Mo's words made Zachary Taylor's eyes light up.

The reason why he was tired of war before was because he was tricked by his own people, resulting in heavy casualties among his soldiers. In addition, the US-Mexico war was essentially a war of aggression. Although it expanded the country's territory, Zachary Taylor didn't feel much honor.

While the war against the slave owners was for the reunification of the motherland and the liberation of the people, Zachary Taylor felt that the flames of fighting were rekindled in his heart.

It's just that, fifteen years later, I'm in my 80s, so how can I still be on the battlefield? Even if the war started earlier, it's hard for my body to bear it.

Over the years, Zachary Taylor feels more and more that his body is not as good as before. Although he is still strong among his peers, he is still getting worse than when he was young. ”, and then “died” in just a few days without a suspected cause.

Moreover, it is hard to say whether he can live to that day. In this day and age, there are not many people who can live to the age of 80.

Chen Mo looked at Zachary Taylor's bright eyes and then quickly dimmed, feeling the loss and regret in his heart, and it was easy to see through his thoughts.

"As for the body, it's not a problem. I can bring you back to life, and naturally I can make you young again. In fact, you now have eternal life!"

"what?!"
