Chapter 436: Elected president!

Political contributions are not as simple as simple donations. In the conventional sense, political contributions, that is, campaign donations, are supporters of presidential candidates who provide unpaid support to candidates they support.

All citizens in the country can agree with their own demands and political views, and hope that he will run for a successful candidate to make a donation.

But usually the average person's donation is a few dollars, or even a few cents.

Although there are many ordinary people making donations nationwide, the total amount of donations to these ordinary people usually only accounts for a small part of the candidate's campaign funds. The real big head comes from the capitalists!

The political contributions of capitalists to the presidential candidates are not charitable donations, but an investment behavior, which is to pay for returns.

After the candidate receives the political contribution, he will return to the gold lord with political interests after the political ruling, so that the gold lord can make a profit.

In other words, capitalists who provide large sums of money to presidential candidates have their own demands and need candidates to complete their demands after successful election.

This sudden huge donation made Zachary Taylor feel a little dignified and did not know what the other party would have.

In his heart, he told himself that if the other party's request violated the interests of citizens and the state, he would not want this money and would not agree.

When he heard Zachary Taylor's inquiry, Tom greeted him with a look of his eyes, and he replied with a look of indifference.

"General Taylor, the money of our boss is not a political contribution, but a free donation to support your presidential election, and there is no appeal."

Tom's words made Zachary Taylor feel awkward. He thought about all kinds of possible answers, but he didn't think of it.

"why?"

Zachary Taylor asked without doubt.

Tom smiled and looked at Zachary Taylor slowly.

"Our boss said, thank you for taking care of Victor and James over the past two years."

"It's him!"

......

Eventually, as the Whig Party thought, the US-Mexico war has just passed. The biggest hero in the whole war, the well-known war hero Zachary Taylor has a huge influence in the minds of the people. Zachary Taylor successfully defeated Lewis Kas and successfully elected as the United States under the combined advantages of the Whig Party’s internal forces and the large campaign fund from New York. Twelve presidents.

After Taylor took office, he first dealt with the Cuban issue.

The slaves in the southern United States had long coveted Cuba as a new source of supplemental slave labor. President Polk wanted to buy an island in Cuba from Spain.

In 1849, the southern United States expansionist and slave-owners supported a Cuban adventurer to organize an expedition near New Orleans to go to Cuba to seduce the rebellion and prepare to merge Cuba as a slave state into the United States.

President Taylor is worried that this will cause great disputes in the country. On August 11, 1849, he issued a notice on the Cuban issue, claiming that the US government has the responsibility to abide by the treaty and prevent its citizens from infringing the territory of friendly countries. He warned American citizens. Do not participate in illegal activities against the armed arms expedition in Cuba.

The plan of the expedition was disintegrated and died.

This is the first time Zachary Taylor has confronted the slaves of the southern plantation.

In fact, Zachary Taylor himself is actually a member of the slave plantation of the southern plantation. From his own interests, he should have supported this incitement to Cuba, but the slave owner is only his identity.

For most of the past 40 years, he has been in the army. The huge cotton plantation is just an industry of his own. He didn’t spend much time thinking about his slaves. He also Far less harsh and brutal than other slave owners.

Now that he has become the president, he has to consider from the perspective of national interests. The war on Mexico has just ended. What should be done now is to digest the harvest of this war, instead of greedy insatiable continuation of aggression, which is stable to the country. There is no benefit to development. What really benefits are only the southern slave owners in the South who are in desperate need of large numbers of slaves to expand the plantation scale.

This behavior of Zachary Taylor caused dissatisfaction with some southern planters, who believed that he betrayed the South and turned to the northerners.

At this time, Zachary Taylor faced another big problem.

Whether the United States newly acquired California, New Mexico, Utah and other land after the Mexican War launched slavery.

The slave farmers in the southern United States and the northern bourgeoisie have long fought fiercely on the issue of slavery.

As early as 1790, the federal government set up a Meisong-Dickson line between Pennsylvania and Delaware and Maryland to resolve interstate border disputes. This line became the eastern free state of the United States after 1804. The dividing line of the slavery state ~lightnovelpub.net~ north of this line is the free state, slavery is not allowed; south is the slave state, allowing slavery.

By 1819, there were 22 states in the United States, of which the number of slave states and free states was half, so they had equal seats in the Senate. The southern plantation slave owners and the northern bourgeoisie maintained a balance in political power. The direction of development and political decision-making in the United States.

But in the year of 1819, the Missouri District, which had existed slavery as early as the French period, applied to join the Union.

So in Congress there was a dispute in whether Missouri was a free state or a slave state to join the federation.

At the end of the year, the northern region required the separation of a Maine region as a free state to join the Federation.

Finally, Congress reached the Missouri Compromise in 1820, Missouri as a slave state, Maine joined the Federation as a free state, maintained the “power balance” in the Senate, and set the boundary between the Free State and the Slave State to be north latitude. 36 degrees and 30 minutes.

When Zachary Taylor became president, the northern states were in a period of high opposition to slavery.

The large new land acquired after the US-Mexico war, whether it was a slave state or a free state, has become an important factor in the expansion of the contradiction between the north and the south.

The most pressing issue facing Zachary Taylor is the status of California and New Mexico.

California demanded to join the Union as a free state, and New Mexico also demanded to be a region that banned slavery. These demands immediately heated up the struggles in the north and south.

Congress is also arguing over the issue of slavery. There are great differences. Even a guard who guards the door must investigate its attitude toward slavery.
