Because, now Britain has regarded itself as the empire of the sun never set.

As an excellent country, of course, we must be civilized.

Of course, this superficial face also has a practical impact on them.

It is more convenient to promote the British mercy, save people with ulterior motives, promote the British support for slavery, and cause riots by those mobs.

However, even though Doug put so many points in front of Lincoln, Lincoln was still hesitant.

Because, he has just become president.

He also wanted to taste more of the power in his hands.

But the taste of power is wonderful.

However, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness about the work he came into contact with.

The southern states, although they are nominally franchised states of the federal government.

However, they did not have any sense of awe for him, the US president and the federal government.

Even if they dare not submit taxes that belong to the federal government every year.

Although the northern states are relatively honest.

However, in an era when industrial products are flooded and consumption power is insufficient, if taxes are collected, enterprises will go bankrupt.

And he made various promises during the election.

Promising will definitely change the status quo.

If he did nothing, within two months he would be despised by all who elected him and ridiculed by all who did not elect him.

Rather than being so entangled, should I?

Lincoln picked up the "Proclamation on the Liberation of Black Slaves" on the table and read it carefully.

After reading it, he made a decision...

...

Just as Lincoln was reading the Manifesto for the Liberation of Black Slaves, Sheffield was under the same starry sky, asking Friday that had been following him, "Are you happy?"

Although black slaves were stupid, they spoke pretty well in English on Fridays that had been with Sheffield for a long time.

"I'm very happy."

"Why are you happy? Don't you desire freedom?"

"Because Fridays have been with you, you can eat and wear and be warm. What is that?"

Sheffield looked at Friday with a confused look on his face and sighed and explained, "Freedom means doing whatever you want, doing whatever you want. No need for me to command, nor follow me. You can be free and live by your own ideas."

"That's a day...I don't want to spend Friday."

“Why don’t you want to do it?”

"Because, without your order, I don't know what to do on Friday. If I don't follow you, I don't know where to go on Friday. Where you are, I'm happy to be there on Friday." In the long dark night, only a bit of snow-white teeth shook the air in the air.

Although Sheffield was unhappy about Friday's "loyalty", he didn't know what to say.

And this also made him think about a question: Even if black slaves are liberated, will they really be free?

Originally, as the owner's objects, their clothes and food were provided by the owner.

And once they are liberated and free, they will have nothing.

Even, there is no clothing to wear and no food to eat.

What’s scary about the food is that even if they want to grow their own food, they don’t have food for them to grow.

What should I do if such a thing really happens?

Even before going to Yale, Sheffield treated all the slaves around him as living people.

Although there is no respect, there is absolutely no insult.

In this case, Sheffield was more likely to accept the claim that black slaves were liberated than other southerners.

And this is also the reason why he was able to give up his studies temporarily and come back to promote.

However, he had only thought that it was better to liberate black slaves, because they were freed.

However, how can they live after they are free is the question that he suddenly thought of when he chats with Friday today.

This question made him deeply doubtful.

However, as he thought about it, his thoughts floated to a story Doug once told.

Doug said, “A long time ago, when there were no humans in New Haven, there were many wild animals living here.

They eat grass happily, are eaten happily, and fight each other happily.

But suddenly, a group of creatures walking upright on both feet began to take over the dominance of this area.

They occupied the dominance and began to hunt and capture these wild animals.

When they were full, they kept the wild animals in captivity.

Wait for another time to eat when you are hungry.

Gradually, these wild animals in captivity were domesticated.

I have given up the ability to survive in the wild, no longer able to run or jump, I only have one characteristic, that is, my growth is fast.

Suddenly one day, a kind child was pitiful when he saw these domestic animals.

Put them out.

However, they just went out in the morning, but at noon, they all ran back into the cage one by one.

Why?

Because, they have lost the ability to survive alone without relying on humans in the wild.

They are used to it, and when food falls from the sky at the right time, they sleep on their stomachs after eating.

They don’t desire the outside world, and they don’t even think there is anything better in the outside world.”

At that time, Sheffield only thought this was a simple story.

However, he suddenly realized that the slaves represented by Friday were already such domesticated animals.

At that time, Sheffield asked, "How do you make these livestock turn into wild animals again?"

Doug's answer is, "Step by step. Let them learn how to prey in the wild again. Give them less and less feed every day.

In this way, they are both hungry and will not starve to death suddenly, so they can go find food by themselves.

Gradually, he regained the ability of a beast.

But, will anyone really do that?"

Doug's final rhetorical question made Sheffield puzzled for a long time.

He suddenly realized that Doug was already a fable about the liberation of black slaves at that time.

Yes, if I were a big slave owner, would I have the heart to train my livestock little by little to let them return to nature?

No!

Of course not!

The only people who do this are fools!
