Chapter 64 Illegal Patriotic Organization

At this time, a team of carriages had arrived in the city of New Orleans, and there was a traffic jam ahead. At a glance, there were crowds of people, as if today was an important festival, and everyone appeared on the street. Sheffield didn't want to interfere with other people's activities, so he wanted to change the route and continue, but it was useless. The same was true for other streets.

"Is today Christmas? Or are they all crazy?" Sheffield frowned, being stuck in the middle and unable to move forward or backward. He felt annoyed for no reason and pointed to the front to ask someone.

Countless white people occupied the streets, cheering loudly, and the cheers led everyone's emotions. Everyone was in it, everyone was a participant, and didn't care about what others thought. But if you look closely, you will find that there is not a single black person on the whole street, not even one, you have to know that New Orleans has a majority black population.

There were also many people riding horses and dressed as cowboys, seeming to enjoy the atmosphere.

"We are a country ruled by law, so why don't the police take care of this? Go and see what's going on." Sheffield held his forehead and asked the bodyguards around him, asking them to see what was going on. He was so busy every day, and he finally got out and encountered a blockade. These people didn't care about their master's feelings at all.

Outside the Louisiana Court, there was a huge crowd of people waiting for the final verdict, as if they were overwhelmed by the emotions outside. The judge inside the court also read out the verdict word by word in a solemn tone, saying that the defendant deliberately challenged the bottom line of the law and rushed into a public train that only white people could ride, scaring the passengers on the train. This act of contempt for the sacred law was a challenge to the rights of citizens.

"Louisiana guarantees that white people 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 barriers and entered the white car. According to the description of the relevant crime in state law, Thompson will face a sentence of twelve months in prison. All judges have no objection to this, and a fine of one hundred dollars will be imposed at the same time."

"If we don't punish this criminal for entering a white car without permission and for the safety of the passengers in the car at that time, the next time they will break into our house 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't be a next time. If 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 shouted in unison. The huge sound waves penetrated the thick walls and entered the solemn courtroom, making the faces of the people inside change when they heard it.

Such a loud noise was heard from far away. Even Sheffield, who was far away from the state court, was furious. Although it was very vague, he did hear the slogan of "Long Live the Confederacy of America". He quickly opened the door and climbed into the carriage to look into the distance. His eyes suddenly widened and he said to himself, "Southern Cross Flag?"

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

"I'll be there right away. It seems that today is the day when the black youth was sentenced." John Connor did not forget to explain, "New Orleans is not peaceful."

"What does it have to do with me? That's all the court's business! Now I'm going to the port with my friends." Sheffield frowned and said disdainfully, "How much money is involved? These bastards always cause trouble for me at critical moments."

After saying that, Sheffield got back into the carriage, while John Connor led a group of people into the crowd and pushed away all those who were blocking the way. It was only a few hundred meters, but these strong Black Gold employees had a very difficult journey, which was even more difficult than going out to sea.

John Connor wanted to say "It's so hard for me", but he still walked up to the man who was still cheering at the top of his lungs, panting. Even at such a close distance, the shouting from all around 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 policemen. Seeing this scene, the people who were surrounding here fell into madness. Even the black youth who was surrounded by a group of policemen moved his throat slightly, and a pale color appeared on his face, which was almost impossible to appear in his entire life.

"Kill him..." the man waving the Southern Cross flag yelled. John Connor became anxious when he heard it and shouted directly, "Draw your guns and calm these people down!"

Bang, bang, bang! A burst of gunfire shocked the people who were in a frenzy. One second there was a lot of noise, and the next second there was complete silence. Taking advantage of this opportunity to shoot into the air, John Connor rushed forward in two steps, holding a gun in his hand and questioning the leading man, "Who are you? Why are you blocking the state court?"

"I am the KKK, and I am protecting the interests of all of us. Who are you? You are standing with those who hurt us." Conley was also stunned by the sudden scene, but soon he asked in anger. If the people who came with John Connor had not pulled out their pistols, he would have definitely taught these people a lesson.

"It's the KKK! You two go back and tell the master!" John Connor pointed at the two Black Gold employees and ordered, then put away his pistol and said, "I am an employee of Sheffield Black Gold Shipping. No matter what happens, you should not incite citizens to block the door of the state court."

"Is it the KKK? The federal government has declared them illegal, but instead of hiding, they come out to cause trouble?" Sheffield rolled his eyes and muttered, "They are more likely to cause trouble than to help. They have a negative effect as soon as they show up. Tell the people in front to move aside, so we can go and see what's going on."

"Why are there no police officers maintaining order? If this were in Paris, the gendarmes would have been dispatched by now. What is the KKK? Aren'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 officer, it's okay, they came out. I guess they must have collected money today." Sheffield chuckled and said sarcastically, "The United States is a multi-party system in appearance, but in reality it is a two-party system. As for these people, they are a non-governmental organization. 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! Representing the public opinion of the citizens of the South, but they always do stupid things."

They are indeed a group of patriots, but as to whether they love the United States or the Confederacy, that is not certain.

After passing through a long crowd, the carriage finally reached the confrontation site. Sheffield got off the carriage and, as expected, was surrounded by a group of Black Gold employees. Sheffield, who had long been accustomed to this, stretched out his hand to the man who still didn't understand the situation and said, "Hello, William Sheffield!"

"Sheffield? Are you the commander's family member?" Conley introduced himself immediately. "My father is a veteran Marine under Brigadier General Ward."

"If you mean the Texas Army Commander, he is my grandfather!" Sheffield admitted it immediately, but then changed the subject and said, "But the KKK is an illegal organization. Your behavior is not good."
