Chapter 537 There Can Be Two Americas in the World
USA.
There are two Americas in the world!
One is the United States of America, and the other is the Confederate States of America.
In 1866, the five-year Civil War did not produce a winner. If there was one, it was the Confederate States of America, also known as the Southern Union.
The protracted civil war neither preserved the unity of the United States nor liberated the slaves. It only caused the division of the United States - the territory of the United States was reduced by nearly two million square kilometers.
But even so, the United States still has a vast land of nearly six million square kilometers, with 35 million people living on this land. After the end of the Civil War, as in history, the development of the United States entered the fast lane. History may have changed a lot, but it has not affected the development of the United States.
In the fifth year after the end of the Civil War, when the United States seemed to have entered the "Gilded Age", Washington never forgot.
Forgot something?
Of course, it is the reality of national division.
"There is only one America in the world!"
During the 1868 election, George McClellan declared that although he and they demanded an immediate end to the Civil War in the 1864 election, regardless of whether the North and the South would remain divided forever, and although he had insisted during the 1865 negotiations, in order to end the war, he ultimately chose to compromise and recognize the independence of the South.
However, when George McClellan was re-elected, he always emphasized that "there is only one America in the world", and then what?
"Under the conspiracy of certain countries, the United States has fallen into a tragic division!"
Who are the certain countries that McClellan mentioned?
There is France, and of course there is South China, which is now the Ming Dynasty. Even Washington’s hostility towards the Ming Dynasty is far greater than that of France, which once verbally expressed support for the South. After all, the French support is only verbal. What about South China?
But they sold hundreds of millions of arms to the South. Many people even thought that if the ghost ships of Nanhua had not transported a large amount of arms and supplies to the South, perhaps the United States would not have split.
Nanhua is simply the culprit of the division of the United States! How can they not hate such a culprit?
But what's the use even if I hate it to the core?
In the past, South China was too far away from the United States, and Americans just complained verbally, but now it is different. The Ming Dynasty has actually become a neighbor of the United States!
London conspiracy!
At the end of 1870, this statement was circulating everywhere in the political circles of Washington. Almost immediately after Britain made the decision to sell British Columbia to the Ming Dynasty, American politicians immediately realized the British conspiracy.
"They want to use a piece of colony to intensify the contradictions between us and South China, and then provoke a conflict between us and South China!"
This is a well-known fact. Although Americans knew that this was an American conspiracy, when the Great Eastern immigrant ship brought more than 26,000 Chinese immigrants to the North Sea Governor's District, they were shocked and felt more fear.
"Mr. President, the arrival of this ship has brought unprecedented fear to the entire West, from California to Oregon!"
Senator John Miller sat in the Oval Office, looking at George McClellan and said that as a staunch anti-Chinese element, eleven years later in history, the Chinese Exclusion Act he submitted was passed. In this time and space, he was not only discriminating against the Chinese, but also full of hostility.
"If we can't stop them, a disaster will be waiting for us, Mr. President. There are only 500,000 people in California, and only a few hundred thousand in Oregon. The entire West has only a little over a million people. It will only take ten years, or even five years, for us to face a yellowed West. The Chinese will continuously land in Vancouver, and then infiltrate our country from there and occupy our land."
California Senator Adam echoed the sentiment.
"There are 100,000 Chinese living in California. Mr. President, if we can't stop them, maybe in a decade or so, we will have to face a yellow California."
All American politicians were worried about this issue, especially those in the West. McClellan was certainly well aware of this.
"But how can we stop their immigrants from entering their land? Vancouver is their land. We can't ask them to stop bringing in immigrants from China!"
McClellan's tone was full of helplessness. Although he was full of hostility towards Ming's acquisition of British Columbia, after all, it was now Ming's territory, and the United States had no way to intervene!
"Mr. President, therefore, we must prohibit the Chinese from entering the West from now on, including the Ming people, prohibit them from being granted citizenship, prohibit them from owning land, and prohibit companies from employing them. Only in this way can we fundamentally ensure that the West will always belong to the United States."
Looking at the thoughtful president, John Miller added.
"I have drafted a corresponding bill and will submit it to Congress for discussion in the near future. Mr. President, if we do not want the United States to be divided again, we must fundamentally prevent the Chinese from entering the West."
“But it doesn’t help change reality.”
Secretary of State Clayton said bluntly.
"The problem now is that we have less than one million people in the entire West, and the immigration speed of the Ming Dynasty is much faster than ours. There are hundreds of millions of Chinese in China who want to escape war and hunger. They will arrive in Vancouver by ship continuously. In the future, there may be millions or even tens of millions of Chinese there, but our West has a very limited population!"
This is why the whole of America is concerned about the arrival of 26,000 Chinese immigrants in Vancouver. In just a few years, the number of Chinese in western North America will exceed that of Europeans. Faced with such a situation, how could they not be terrified?
"Yes, Mr. Secretary, that is the reality we have to face, and that is why we need to ban them from entering our land."
John Miller nodded.
"Of course, immigration is more important. We must follow the example of the Ming Empire and use high-density immigration ships to transport immigrants from Europe. Only when white people occupy all the land in the West can we stop the Chinese from occupying those lands. Only by introducing more Europeans to the United States can the United States avoid becoming a country of yellow people. Of course, only in this way can we stop the invasion from the Ming Empire in the future!"
The invasion of the Ming Empire. In the past few months, ever since the United States learned that it would be bordering the Ming Empire, it has been extremely excited. After all, in their eyes, the Ming Empire is expansionist by nature. Not only are they supporters of the Confederation, but they are also blindly expanding their territory. They have destroyed two countries one after another, making Chile and Argentina a thing of the past.
The whole United States is really worried about having such an "expansionist" country as a neighbor!
After John Miller and other senators left, McClellan looked at the grass outside the window and asked.
"Clayston, it seems that you also support them in submitting the bill, right?"
"I don't support this proposal that they've put forward, I support the future of the United States of America."
Clayston said in a rather calm tone.
"As we all know, if we can't stop them, maybe we won't have any future, because eventually we will have to face the fact that the yellow people will annex our West like a tide, and then they will dye the whole United States yellow. At that time, will we still have any choice?"
When Clayston mentioned all this, his expression was heavy, because this was a future that could be seen with the naked eye.
After a moment's silence, he continued.
"Besides this, we seem to have no other choice. The only question is how the Ming Empire will respond to us!"
