Chapter 448: New group!

Under the concessions of Henry Clay, the power of the Southern slave owners increased greatly, and some of them even withdrew from Congress after disappointment.

Chen Mo was very interested in one of them, so shortly after Zachary Taylor was elected president, Chen Mo eventually joined the bank as a banker at Henry Clay’s many invitations. The party, and with its strong financial resources and boldness, has funded many of the Whigs members who have been excluded from slavery, and their prestige within the party has increased rapidly.

Henry Clay is not too concerned about the arguments about slavery in the party. His compromise with the slaves of the South is only to gain their support and win the votes in their hands, thus achieving his goal of establishing a private central bank. It is not surprising that Chen Mo, the big capitalist, opposed slavery.

As for Chen Mo’s support for the Whigs, this is exactly what he hopes.

Only when the Whigs were strong, he was able to control more powerful forces, and Chen Mo’s rising reputation did not make Henry Clay feel threatened.

Because the Hugues who oppose slavery supported by Chen Mo actually only occupy a small part of the party, and most of them are some young members with no background, weaker strength, the true core of the Whig Party, in Congress. And the elite members of the state with great prestige and influence are still around him, and he is the leader.

A considerable number of them are also opposed to slavery, but because of their own strength and influence, they are not as crowded as the young Whigs who have no background, and Henry Clay’s deliberate apprehensive appeasement is He did not succumb to him because of his compromise on slavery.

Therefore, the entire Whig Party is still firmly in the hands of Henry Clay. Chen Mo’s behavior is only in his view to help the party’s compatriots with the same political views. He did not follow the party’s The core members have too many interests to intersect, and they will not threaten his position in the Whig Party and the control of the entire party.

Therefore, Henry Klein saw the success of Chen Mo’s practice of subsidizing low-level young members of the party.

And those young members who have been overwhelmed and withdrew from the Congress by the Whig Party are greatly supported by Chen Mo, who helped them return to their respective states, and they continue to work in their own state. Political activities, resisting the expansion of slavery, or temporarily crouching, waiting for the opportunity.

Among them, one person temporarily withdrew from the Congress, returned to his old business, and returned to his hometown to open a law firm with the support of Chen Mo, and re-established his lawyer.

However, like most of the other people who left, although he temporarily crouched, he did not give up his political ideas, and he is still eager to devote himself to public utilities, and his personal reputation is constantly consolidating and improving.

These young people who left Congress and stayed away from the Center for American Power and the other members of the Whig Party, especially the leader of the party, Henry Clay, have become very few, but they have always maintained a connection with Chen Mo. Have common beliefs and ideas, and are funded, supported and encouraged by Chen Mo.

Under the influence of Chen Mo, they firmly believe that the abolition of slavery is imperative, and there will be a battle between the North and the South. Today's temporary stagnation is only for the outbreak of key moments in the future, and their goals will be realized!

This group is not valued by Henry Clay, even to win the support of the southern slave owners and sit on the side of the crowd, but the young people who have not heard of it, have already formed a new small group with Chen Mo, and this group The center is to provide them with economic and conviction support, and to point them to the great capitalist of the future road, Chen Mo!

Not only the young political elites who have left the Congress, but also because of the growing influence of the slaves in the South, and the crowded members of the Whig Party who oppose slavery have joined this small circle. Under the support and comfort of Chen Mo, he quietly crouched up.

All of them, including Chen Mo, who is behind them, are waiting for the opportunity.

By 1852, in the fourteenth presidential election, the split of the Whig members who were in favor of and against slavery was completely revealed.

Former Vice President Millard Fillmore, who had succeeded the president after Zachary Taylor’s “death”, caused a lot of dissatisfaction against the slaves in the Whigs because of his consistent compromise on the North and South issues. The power is enough to make him lose the chance to get a nomination in the party.

In the end, in view of the victory of the previous two campaigns, Henry Clay attempted to repeat the previous victory and once again nominated a war hero, General Winfield Scott, as the presidential candidate.

However, there is an old saying in the mysterious Chinese ancient country ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ again and again, this time, the Whig party ushered in a complete failure. At that time, only thirty of the US federal states won. The votes of the four states were defeated by absolute disadvantages, and everyone in the party lamented that the Whig party was finished.

During the campaign, there was another big event. Henry Clay, the founder and leader of the Whig Party, passed away. The supporters who were still around him suddenly lost their hearts.

Without Henry Clay working in harmony, various problems and contradictions were revealed.

The problem of the central bank, the issue of slavery, has deepened the contradictions within the Whig Party, and soon became a group of scattered sands, each of which was in power, and the Whig party was in name only.

At this time, the group of young political elites who were united around Chen Mo became a united and powerful force, but they were still very weak compared to the original Whigs and Democrats.

However, while the Whig Party is gradually declining, this small group centered on Chen Mo is gradually becoming stronger. More and more Huige people who oppose slavery have joined in, even including those who have certain in Congress. The core member of the original Whig Party.

After all, politics is still a collective game. Without the support of the powerful Whig Party, they have a hard time in Congress. The joint attacks and suppression from the support of slaves within and outside the party have made them eager to find. A new group to fight against the enemy.

At this time, they have already embraced a group, united and helped each other, and now they have fallen apart and become a discreet force in the Whig Party, and Chen Mo Group, which has always adhered to the same philosophy as them, has become their best choice.
