Reborn As a Pirate

v2 Chapter 267: BEACONⅡ: The color of original sin

Mary Daya Chapel, South Boston.

This is a simple community chapel named after a great woman who was hanged in Boston Common in 1660.

People don't remember why she died, but they know why she is great.

Her famous saying, "My life is insignificant compared to pursuing the truth" is well-known in Boston. It has already spanned time and has become one of the historical landmarks of Bostonians' struggle for freedom.

It is precisely because of this that the locals will borrow her name when they build the community chapel.

Even in the era when Ms. Daya survived, the southern area was still a muddy mudflat.

Even if Ms. Daya may be pursuing something else, she shouldn't think about whether slaves have the right to pursue freedom.

However, letting the slaves feel free is the original intention of the establishment of Mary Daya Chapel.

The Southern District of Boston is often referred to as a new district and a manufacturing district by Bostonians.

The area here is three times the size of the North District. There are contiguous new-style steam workshops on the land. It was once the most developed manufacturing center in New England.

After Boston became independent, it became one of the most developed manufacturing bases in the new United States.

Daily use, hardware, clothing, and even guns, countless raw materials came here by land and sea transportation, turned into finished products under the steam, and then transported to corners of the world via merchant ships berthing the entire coastline.

At the end of the 18th century, the pyramid ecology of American factories was actually very interesting.

Skilled and educated whites act as managers and foremen, occupying the apex of the pyramid alone, followed by the ruined settlements and child labor that constitute the backbone. The bottom, and the most numerous, are the slaves collected by the operators through various channels. NS.

Blacks, whites, Indians...Occasionally, there are natives from Asia and visitors from the East who think they are digging for gold.

After all, industry is a much more complicated production behavior than agriculture, and it places higher demands on producers.

Operators collect slaves in order to reduce labor costs, but after a period of exploration, they have gradually discovered that the plantation-style management model cannot save their costs.

The main reason is that workers generally lack initiative.

Workers who lack subjective initiative are inefficient in learning, and the speed of proficiency is horribly slow.

What a foreman can do requires five hukou, what a hukou can do requires three child laborers, what a child laborer can do requires two dongfangke, and what a dongfangke can do needs three white slaves, or five. A colorful slave, or twenty Asian natives...

The slaves worked in the workshop with numb eyes, and could not see much output in a day, but they would never forget hunger because of this.

They eat more than anyone else.

Even if the food is just black bread baked from wood chips and soil, the gentlemen who wanted to save money and get rich began to feel overwhelmed.

This situation must change.

The gentlemen gathered to discuss, and found the problem as quickly as possible.

Compared with the foreman, the slave lacked education.

Compared with shabby hukou, slaves lacked freedom.

Compared with child labor, slaves lack honor.

Compared with Dongfangke... slaves are not lacking, on the contrary, they seem to know too much...

Brainstorming is a good thing, and the key to preventing slaves from creating wealth is immediately revealed. 59 library

Since the upbringing is given by God and it is known that it is impossible to eradicate it at all, then what the slave lacks is freedom and honor.

Slaves must be given freedom and glory. Under the mercy of the Lord, all people are born equal!

The gentlemen moved into action.

They organized a committee to review the deed of selling, and first singled out the criminal clauses in the contract that hindered equality, such as wearing a job, no childbirth, no choice, food and shelter, etc., to give the slaves full attention and liberation.

Immediately afterwards, the committee added a reasonable and generous remuneration to the new contract based on the remuneration and benefits of child labor.

You only need to work 16 hours a day, with a minimum salary of two pence a day, and the workshop has an unconditional obligation to take over lunch.

Even in order to supervise itself, the committee also planned to establish a southern joint union composed entirely of foremen to fight for the rights and interests of the slaves and build a solid and powerful backstage for them.

The slave was liberated!

Although theoretically, no one has radically proposed abolition of slavery, but in fact, apart from life and death, the slave owners in the southern district have given up everything.

The new slave contract is no different from the free man.

As long as they work in the workshop, the slaves can freely choose their residence, freely decide the ingredients for dinner, freely breed and graze, freely fall in love and combine, and freely inherit their sacred property to future generations.

Even if they avoided their nominal masters and went to work in other gentlemen's workshops, their masters would have nothing to do with them.

Once freedom is given, it naturally begins to exude a refreshing fragrance.

The community of workers is also a product born under this fragrance.

Gentlemen need to let slaves see the value of change as soon as possible, and the instructed union will quickly select some obedient blacks or Indians to help them achieve self-reliance in the form of rewards or loans.

They quickly became successful models in the early stages of slavery liberation. They gathered in the corners and open spaces of the Southern District to build a brand-new community of workers, pursuing higher-level needs than basic survival, such as faith.

This is the meaning of the existence of community chapels.

However, the priest wants to eat.

After all, time is still short, and even successful people among slaves can hardly come up with wealth that is more precious than strength. Therefore, pure community chapels are different from churches all over the city. Believers have no reason to support themselves except to support themselves. Others.

As a result, the quality of priests declined rapidly, and within a few months of establishment, they had been personally appointed by the bishop of the region to an embarrassing situation where everyone with lofty ideals participated.

These days, a mysterious missionary came to Mary Daya Chapel. He had a hooded cloak on his body and an iron face on his face. No skin was exposed strictly.

He will come to the chapel every week, with an exquisite and delicious sacrament, tenderly and passionately preaching a little special doctrine of the Lord among the workers~lightnovelpub.net~color, he is born with his own colour. Black, white, yellow, brown... colorful colors constitute a colorful world, each color is given by God, each color should have the same weight. "

"But some people arbitrarily set a level for colors. God is white, saints are white, Adam is white, and all nobles are white..."

"White is the original sin! Once the color becomes the reason for slavery and enslavement, the color becomes the original sin!"

"Why are some colors born inferior to others? Why are some colors not allowed to fight for their rights? Why do struggles end up becoming unfaithful? Why do you need to fight for life?"

"White is the original sin! If white is not, then being born instead of white is the original sin!"

The missionary took a deep breath.

"Well, today we are going to talk about the "Gospel of Matthew", let us praise the Lord's benevolence together..."
