Chapter 414 (1/2)
Nashville is the most famous country music city in the United States and the world. Country music singers in the United States and the world are looking forward to training and performing here.
Well, it's here that the famous Damei of later generations became famous
But at this time, in the early spring of 1767, it was still a small settlement of European colonists, and its scale even matched that of Jamestown.
A ring of walls, no more than two and a half meters high, surrounds the small residence. Although the ring of walls is built with stones, it is too low to cover even the buildings in the middle of the residence.
A flagpole more than ten meters high stands in the center of the settlement, on which hangs a Bourbon iris. At this time, the French flag was not the familiar blue, white and red flag of later generations. Now, the kingdom of France is still under the rule of Louis XV. It is a long branch of the Bourbon Dynasty!
The French flag of this era is iris Citigroup, which looks very complicated. It's not like a national flag, but more like a family flag of a family.
However, it doesn't matter. The existence of this flag is enough to prove the ownership of this settlement.
At this time, the influence of the British did not extend to Nashville. It was the French.
Nashville would not be established by two British colonists in North America until 1779, thirteen years later. After they founded Nashville, they were named after Francis Nash, the hero of the revolutionary war.
It is estimated that in this era, no one except the stone bear would expect that this small residential area would develop into the second largest city in Tennessee after Memphis in more than 200 years, and even become the capital of the state.
But at this time, the little French colony was shivering under the gaze of 5000 soldiers of the bear brigade. The stone bear could even see through the telescope that white flags were raised on the roofs of many residents in the settlement
Mad cow got close to the stone bear, looked at the residence in front of him and said, ”chief, should this place be leveled off? I've been looking at this place for a long time. The vasichus in it usually collude with the chekasa people very badly. But for the vasichus, the chekasa people would not exchange fur for so many things. There are so many good things in our tribe, but these guys just don't trade with us... ”
The stone Bear looked at the mad cow who kept Tucao, but did not make complaints about it.
Obviously, crazy cow has a lot of resentment about this small settlement. The fact that the Frenchman who has been promoted to the head of the third regiment of the explosive bear brigade is so arrogant shows that what the French living in this residential area did in the past is really not authentic.
Before the outbreak of the war of independence, European colonists except Spain, such as France, Britain, the Netherlands, Prussia and other countries' colonial strategies in North America were planting, breeding and trading with local Indian tribes.
Needless to say, the vast and fertile land of the new world is enough to make the European colonists who immigrated to the new world and engaged in cultivation and breeding get extremely rich returns. This kind of land that has not been cultivated for tens of millions of years is too fertile.
However, planting and breeding are mostly done by farmers who have little capital. Although they reap a lot in this land, they are also exploited by their own countries. Therefore, farmers are farmers, and even European farmers are the target of exploitation.
The most powerful ones are those aristocrats and rich people who hold a lot of money.
They controlled more than 90% of the fur, gold and gemstone transactions in the New World colonies by using their funds, transportation and perfect sales channels between the two continents.
