Men are admitted to college, but they are distressed that they do not know which school to choose. His parents died early, and the aunt who raised him was a coward who fainted when something big happened. At this moment, his black slave stood up and said to him, "Listen to me, choose Harvard University!" ”
In this way, the man became a high-achieving student at Harvard University, a typical aristocratic teenager with a combination of talents and appearances.
In the world's famous book "Gone with the Wind", Atlanta's rich son Charles Hamilton is a high-quality man, not only rich family, but also handsome and knowledgeable, the only drawback is that he will not flirt with girls.
This personality is related to the loss of his parents since he was a child, but fortunately, he has a very loyal black slave - Uncle Peter.
It can be said that Uncle Peter grew up in Hamilton's household. At a very young age, he followed Charles' father to the Mexican War, and he cared for him throughout the process after his master was wounded; Later, Charles' parents died, and he was determined to stay at Hamilton's house.
Uncle Peter's body shines with the good character of loyalty to the master.
Although Aunt Petty lives with them, she is a useless person, as timid as a mouse, and faints whenever something big happens. Therefore, Charlton and Melanie were raised by Uncle Peter.
Uncle Peter enjoyed supreme power in the Hamilton household. He decides Charles' pocket money, or what clothes to wear and what scarf to wear when he goes out, to deciding what college Charles attends and when Melanie will go to the ball...
Miraculously, Uncle Peter's decision was largely correct. This shows that he is not only loyal, but also very brainy, and if he sets himself up on his own, or is a white man, he will definitely get ahead.
In "Gone with the Wind", Uncle Peter is not the only black slave who is so loyal and capable.
The black mother of the Scarlett family is also very capable, is the longest-lasting companion of the hostess Ellen, she not only has always been by Ellen's side, married with her to the Tara Manor, but also single-handedly brought up Ellen's three daughters and kept the manor in order. Although she is black, her code of conduct and self-esteem are as noble as her master's, helping Ellen discipline the three sisters of Scarlett how to become ladies.
In addition to Black Mother, Scarlett's father's black slave Polk is also very loyal and has always been by Gerald's side to take care of his living life.
Uncle Peter, Black Mama, Polk... Although they were all slaves of white families, they were dead to their masters, and that loyalty was not a façade, but carved into their bones.
They even enjoy serving their hosts because it's the best way to reflect their values in life.
In fact, before the Civil War, most of the black slaves were very satisfied with their state of existence.
Perhaps in their perception, the Civil War, known as the liberation of their black slaves, was not liberation, but deep slavery, which caused them to fall into a trap of losing their freedom and never being able to turn over.
From this point of view, the real purpose of this war may be as Ritter Butler said:
"There are two situations in which you can make a fortune, one is when the country is founded, and the other is when the country is destroyed. Countries get rich slowly when they rise, and fast when they collapse. ”
