Chapter 450

In this way, under the multiple pressures of the slave owners in the south, the hostile parties, and the former Whig Party's support for the slaves, the Whig Party's opponents of slavery gradually moved closer to the group with Chen Mo as the core and the largest supporter, and the strength of Chen Mo Group continued to increase.

Chen Mo, with his powerful financial resources beyond the richest man in the United States, the great prestige he has won in the Whig Party in recent years, and his control over the core young Party members of the group, firmly occupies the dominant position of the group.

After uniting again, they finally resisted the attack of the slavery activists and stood firm in the Congress.

In fact, it is not only the Whig party that has split, but also the Democratic Party that won the election because of slavery.

The confrontation between the northern capitalists and the southern slave owners is becoming more and more fierce. The congressmen representing the interests of both sides have been arguing in the Congress. Even the members of the two parties, the north and the south, are in constant conflict, and the cohesion of the parties has never been reduced.

The chaos in the party lasted until 1854.

In July 1854, driven by Chen Mo, the northern Whig party, together with the anti slavery activists in the northern Democratic Party and other anti slavery factions, formed a new party, the Republican Party, and laid the value of the party on "individual freedom" and "national unity", so as to prevent the expansion of slavery in the western region and even further eradicate slavery, It is their common pursuit at present.

The main members of the Republican Party are representatives of the northern bourgeoisie, consisting of industrial and commercial owners in the Northeast who oppose slavery and representatives of agricultural entrepreneurs in the central and western development states. After the split, the Democratic Party mainly represents the interests of planters and entrepreneurs associated with slave owners in the south.

As for the Whig party, it is already in name and in fact. Most of its members have joined the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. The rest have played little role in the political situation. The once prosperous Whig Party has declined completely.

As the largest rancher, factory owner and capitalist in the north of the United States, he employs hundreds of thousands of farmers, cowboys, workers and employees. The wealth, personnel and political forces he controls occupy an absolute dominant position in the newly formed Republican Party. However, Chen Mo did not stand out to lead the new political party, but chose to continue to stand behind the scenes He has been vigorously supporting and training a young talent to the stage.

In the previous dormant period, Chen Mo intended to constantly improve his prestige and influence in the circle he established, and there was a tendency to cultivate him as his spokesman.

He was born in a poor family and became a lawyer by self-study. At the age of 25, he became a State Councillor. At the age of 37, he was elected as a congressman. He did not fail to live up to Chen Mo's training and expectations. With his ability and personal charm, he not only gained more and more influence in his own state, but also gained more and more popularity in the small circle formed by Chen mo The style of a physical leader.

With the participation of more core members of the original Whig party, he did not worry about his position being threatened. Instead, he personally invited many members to join the group. In the end, he not only failed to be compared, but also gradually united the people with excellent political skills, thoroughly consolidated the position of team leader and spokesman of Chen mo.

After being reorganized into the Republican party later, the United northern Whig Party firmly grasped the leadership of the Republican Party.

The name of the young Republican leader is Abraham Lincoln!

The existence of slavery has become the most prominent contradiction in the United States at present, and even directly led to the change of political parties. After the reorganization of the two parties, the issue has been thoroughly intensified, and the debate and struggle in Congress, and even in the whole country have become increasingly fierce!

In this year, the southern slave owners attempted to expand slavery to Kansas by force, so the western farmers and immigrants from the free state broke out in Kansas, and the armed struggle against the southern slave owners lasted until 1856, which opened the prelude of the American Civil War.

At the beginning of 1856, a mysterious visitor came to Brooklyn manor in southeast New York.

This man is extremely tall, more than 1.9 meters tall, but his body is very thin under the wide and long black woolen coat, and his cheek is sunken inward, which is not handsome.

However, his figure is very straight and straight, and there is no common problem of stooping and shoulder collapsing for tall and thin people. The whole person feels very confident and calm, and the atmosphere is extraordinary.

Zachary Taylor led him to Chen Mo's study and then turned away.

Instead of rushing in, the tall man turned his head and watched Zachary Taylor disappear around the corner of the corridor, his thin face full of doubts.

Although Zachary Taylor was dressed in a neat and decent suit and behaved gentlemanly and elegant, he felt a kind of heroic atmosphere that he could only feel in those veteran generals who had experienced hundreds of battles, and a kind of carefree and easy look down on everything with his keen eyes.Moreover, this person makes him feel very familiar, but he is sure that he has never seen him before, which is really strange!

After thinking for a long time, he didn't come up with a clue. The man had to put the matter aside for a while. He had important things to do.

Turning around, I carefully arranged my clothes and ties. After I confirmed that my appearance was correct, the man solemnly stretched out his thin hand and knocked gently on the door in front of me with a gentle rhythm.

"Dong! Dong! Dong! "

Soon a deep and majestic voice sounded in the door.

"Come in!"

Once again, the man quickly tidied up his slightly askew skirt because he knocked on the door, raised his hand to open the door and stepped in.

This is a study full of medieval retro style. There is a huge oil painting on the wall facing the door. At the first sight, the man's sight can't help being attracted by this painting.

A majestic Blackstone castle stands on the horizon, and the tall walls are full of soldiers waiting for them.

In front of the castle, a heavily armed, cold and silver Armored Cavalry, led by the first black knight, launched a charge towards the gate of the castle with a fearsome momentum, like a silver sword.
