At this time, a group of carriages had arrived in the city of New Orleans, and there was a congestion in front of it. At first glance, there was a crowd of people, as if today was an important festival, and everyone was on the street. Sheffield did not want to interfere with other people's activities.

I wanted to change the route and continue, but it was of no use, and the same was true for other streets.

"Is today Christmas? Or are they all crazy?" Sheffield frowned and was stuck in the middle. He felt agitated for no reason and pointed to the front to ask someone.

Countless white people occupied the streets. They cheered loudly, and the cheers led everyone's emotions. Everyone was in it, everyone was a participant, and they didn't care what other people thought. But carefully

If you look at it, you will find that there is not a single black person on the entire street, not a single one. You must know that New Orleans has a majority black population.

There were also many people riding horses and dressed like cowboys, who seemed to enjoy the atmosphere.

"We are a country ruled by law, don't we have police officers to take care of it? Go and see what is going on." Sheffield held his forehead and asked the bodyguards around him, letting them see what was going on. He said

I was so busy every day, and when I finally came out, I encountered a blockade. These bastards just didn't care about the owner's feelings at all.

Outside the Louisiana State Court, there was a sea of ​​people. The people gathered here were waiting for the news of the final verdict. They seemed to be enveloped by the emotions outside. The judge inside the court also read out word by word with a solemn tone.

Regarding the defendant, he deliberately defied the bottom line of the law, rushed into a public train that only white people could ride, and frightened the passengers on the train. This behavior of flouting the sacred law is a challenge to the rights of citizens.

"Louisiana ensures that whites and other ethnic groups are orderly and equal, do not interfere with each other, and are isolated from each other. In May, Thompson broke through the obstruction and entered the white carriage. According to the description of the relevant crimes in state law, Thompson will face twelve months

week, all the judges had no objection to this, and at the same time imposed a fine of one hundred dollars."

"If we don't punish this criminal for trespassing into a white man's carriage, and if we don't care about the safety of the passengers in the carriage at that time, they will break into our house next time and point guns at our women and children."

Standing on the steps in front of the court, a middle-aged man shouted at the top of his lungs, "There can be no next time. As long as this happens once, no matter who it is, we will make them pay the price. Long live the alliance!"

"Long live the Confederate States of America!" Thousands of people chanted in unison, and the huge sound passed through the thick walls and entered the solemn court, causing the faces of those inside to change.

Such a loud noise directly spread far away. Even Sheffield, which was far away from the state courthouse, suddenly changed his color. Although it was very vague, he did hear the slogan "Long Live the Confederate States of America." He quickly opened the car door, got out, and climbed up.

The carriage looked up into the distance, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said to himself, "Southern Cross flag?"

"You guys go take a look and ask where these people are from?" Sheffield shouted to the black gold bodyguards around him.

"I'll go over right away. Today seems to be the day when the young black man is sentenced." John Connor did not forget to explain, "New Orleans is not peaceful."

"What do you care about me? That's all the court's business! Now I'm going to the port with my friends." Sheffield frowned and said dismissively, "How much money is involved? These bastards are always at critical moments.

Make trouble for me."

After saying that, Sheffield got back into the carriage, and John Connor led a group of people into the crowd, pushing all the people in the way. It was only a few hundred meters away, and these strong black gold employees

, but the journey was extremely difficult, almost even more difficult than going to sea.

John Connor almost wanted to say, "I'm having a hard time," but he still walked up panting, in front of the man who was still shouting hoarsely. Even at such a close distance, the shouts from around him made his eardrums buzz.

.

At this moment, the door of the court was pushed open, and the criminal was pushed out by a group of police. Seeing this scene, the people who were surrounded here fell into madness. Even the young black man who was surrounded by a group of police

His throat was squirming slightly, and his face looked pale in a way that would never appear in his life.

"Kill him..." the man waving the Southern Cross flag yelled. John Connor became anxious upon hearing this and shouted directly, "Take out your gun and calm these people down!"

Bang bang bang! A burst of gunfire shocked the people who were in a state of madness. One second there was a roar of people, and the next second there was silence. Taking advantage of this opportunity to shoot into the air, John Connor rushed forward in three steps and two steps at a time.

He held a gun and asked the leading man, "Who are you? Why are you surrounding the state courthouse?"

"I am the KKK, and I am protecting the interests of all of us. Who are you? You stand with the people who hurt us." Conley was also stunned by the sudden scene, but soon asked angrily, if not

The people who came with John Connor all took out their pistols. He must give these people a good look.

"It's the Ku Klux Klan! You two go back and tell the young master!" John Connor pointed at the two black gold clerks and ordered, then put away the pistol and said, "I am a clerk of Sheffield Black Gold Shipping, no matter what happens, I should not

Inciting citizens to block the door of the state courthouse."

"Is it the Ku Klux Klan? The federal government has declared them illegal. If they don't hide well, they will come out to cause trouble?" Sheffield rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "If it fails to succeed, it will fail. Once it appears, it will have a negative effect.

Tell the crowd in front to get out of the way and let’s go see what’s going on?”

"Why are there no police officers maintaining order? If we were in Paris, the military police should be dispatched by now. What else is the Ku Klux Klan? Isn't there only the Democratic Party and the Republican Party in the United States?" Anne asked in a low voice, holding back her surprise.

"Police officers, they came out when everything was fine. I guess they must have collected money today." Sheffield chuckled and said mockingly, "The United States is only a multi-party system on the surface, but actually a two-party system. As for these people

, is a non-governmental organization, and you don’t need to know if you are not a citizen of the United States. You can understand them as a group of patriots! They represent the public opinion of southern citizens, but they always do stupid things."

They are indeed a group of patriots, but it is not clear whether they love the United States or the Confederacy.

After passing through a long crowd of people, the carriage arrived at the location of the confrontation. Sheffield stepped off the carriage and was, of course, not unexpectedly surrounded by a group of black gold employees who formed a human wall and wrapped them into rice dumplings. He had long been used to this.

Sheffield stretched out his hand to the man who was still confused about the situation and said, "William Sheffield, hello!"

"Sheffield? Are you a member of the Corps Commander's family?" Conley quickly introduced himself upon hearing this, "My father is a Marine Corps veteran under Brigadier General Ward."

"If you are referring to the commander of the Texas Army, he is my grandfather!" When Sheffield heard that it was true, he admitted directly, but the conversation changed, "But the Ku Klux Klan is an illegal organization, and your actions like this
