Chapter 313: Lincoln Is Disappointed

Pierce's good fortune did not end with politics; his good fortune in the military was also outrageous.

After the outbreak of the Mexican-American War, the United States carried out a large-scale military expansion. Pierce became the colonel of a militia regiment. Just a few months later, the militia regiment was reorganized into the 9th Infantry Regiment and became the regular army of the United States. Pierce also became a colonel. He became a colonel in the regular army instead of a colonel in the militia in name only.

What's even more outrageous is that just one month later, with the help of two college friends, Congressmen: Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry Wadsworth Longfro, Pierce fulfilled his dream of being a general. Pierce easily Land became brigadier general of the New England Brigade.

It only took Pierce eight months to go from a novice with no military experience to a brigadier general in the American Army. This record will not be broken by anyone in the 21st century.

Liang Yao's promotion speed was already very fast, but it still took him three years to go from colonel to brigadier general in the regular army.

Pierce did not make any achievements in his short military career. Except for the interesting story of pretending to be sick and comatose to avoid fighting, which once became a joke in the military and lowered the reputation of American generals, Pierce made no contribution to the American army.

However, this did not prevent Pierce from using this disgraceful military experience to put gold on his face. During his campaign, he boasted of being an American war hero and labeled himself a U.S.-Mexican war hero.

He also firmly believes that this is an advantage that Fillmore does not have.

Even if he became the Democratic presidential candidate this time, Pierce did not win by his own strength, but by luck.

After the death of former Presidents Tyler and Calhoun, the leaders of the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party, like the Whig Party, fell into a leaderless and chaotic situation.

Although the Democratic Party did not disintegrate like the Whig Party, it did not recover for a long time after that.

The Democratic Party did not become great again until Franklin Roosevelt, the Democratic Party's tycoon, came to power in 1934, reversing the Democratic Party's decline in one fell swoop, and the public's impression of the Democratic Party changed.

In the decades before 1934, the leading role in American politics had been the Republican Party, while the old party, the Democratic Party, was reduced to a supporting role.

Pierce's official career went smoothly, which also caused Pierce's abilities to be very mediocre. After he came to power, he was at a loss to face the increasingly severe crisis between the North and the South.

"The debate between the two litigants is going to be a good show." Vanderbilt also came to the square in front of New York City Hall. He was also full of expectations for the debate.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Lincoln, I didn't notice you were here."

As soon as Vanderbilt finished speaking, he saw the tall and lanky man standing next to Liang Yao. This tall and lanky man was the famous lawyer Lincoln.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Vanderbilt, you are right, debates between litigants are interesting." Lincoln did not mind this at all and said very generously, "These two candidates are indeed unexpected. It was an upset.”

Although Lincoln now serves as the head of the legal department of the American Group and mainly fights lawsuits for the Atlantic Railway Company, he has always paid close attention to the trends in American politics during his time as a lawyer.

Lincoln was more optimistic about the Democratic candidate Cass and the Whig General Scott as the candidates of the two parties, because both of them had excellent military experience, and both advocated the use of strong force to defend the unity of the United States, and both of them are all very famous.

"It seems that Mr. Lincoln is not satisfied with these two candidates?" Liang Yao said.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with them, but I'm extremely disappointed with the party behind them." Lincoln made no secret of his disappointment with the two governing parties, the Whigs and the Democrats.

He even believed that the presidential candidates of both parties were upset this time because some people in the two parties did not want the United States to be unified and attempted to split the United States. This led to the two parties being unable to reach an agreement on the nomination and selection of presidential candidates within the parties. Opinions, all of which were extremely popular.

In fact, the situation was exactly as Lincoln expected. At this time, the Democratic Party and the Whig Party were backtracking, hoping that the South would exist in the form of a confederation, and that there were many people in the Northern and Southern states living separately.

Those with more extreme ideas even hope that the North and the South will establish independent countries, because this can completely resolve the differences between the North and the South.

"Since the two ruling parties are unreliable, then form your own political party and enter the Congress to govern." Liang Yao said to Lincoln, "If you want to continue to be in politics, the American Group will not hold you back and will be happy to provide you with support."

"I am determined to save the United States from a critical situation, but I come from a poor family and am weak and unable to accomplish anything." Lincoln shrugged helplessly. "I don't have Mr. Pierce's father-in-law, the principal, his congressman friends and classmates, and I don't have President Fillmore. Good luck.”

Liang Yao's words touched Lincoln's heart. The best way now is to unite the abolitionists in the Whig Party and the abolitionists in the Democratic Party to form a new ruling party. Only then can it be possible to take a strong stance. Make it clear which path this country will take in the future and ensure the unity of the United States.

It's just that no one can do it now. Lincoln's fame and prestige are limited to the judicial circle, and he cannot complete the integration of these political elders.

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Everything is possible in America." Liang Yao said as he looked at the hometown supporters of the two presidential candidates who were fighting.

Fillmore's hometown is New York State. His hometown supporters have the advantage of fighting at home. The weak New Hampshire people who came from afar quickly fell into the fight.

Fillmore supporters in New York State grabbed Pierce's portrait and tore it to pieces.

The angry New Hampshire people immediately rose up and wrestled with Fillmore supporters in New York State again. Some even took out the revolvers from their waists and asked to duel in a manly way.

The scene was out of control for a while, but fortunately, the military and police who had been deployed in New York City Hall took action in time and controlled the situation.

Liang Yao looked down at the crowd in the audience with interest. The dignitaries of New York State were all in the stands very close to the debate podium, surrounded by enough strong bodyguards to protect their safety. The fights of the crowd in the stands did not threaten them.

"As far as I know, the California Civic Party firmly supports Mr. Fillmore. I think this is what you mean?" Lincoln asked curiously.

"The Civic Party has performed very well in California. Have you ever thought about establishing a branch of the Civic Party in the East to expand the influence of the Civic Party?"

He had a good impression of the California Civic Party. California was one of the few parties in the United States that could maintain unity of opinion within the party. Of course, this was also related to the fact that California was a new state without the burden of slavery.

It was obvious that California's economy had developed rapidly under the rule of the Civic Party.

"Mr. Fillmore supports California, and California should return the favor and support Mr. Fillmore. As for expanding the influence of the Civic Party outside California, the time is not yet ripe." Liang Yao said.

Liang Yao did not think about this problem, but the muddy water in the East was too deep, and he could not grasp it for the time being.

When the Civic Party entered the East, it would have to express its position on whether it supported slavery or abolition. Once it expressed its position, Liang Yao's neutral position would be untenable, and it would cause trouble.

After Oregon is established as a state, Liang Yao's biggest hope for the Civic Party is to make it the ruling party in Oregon. The West, especially the West Coast, is his base.
