Chapter 15 Act 13 The Trial of Fillmore

The scene is the same as Act 1. God Li: (Stands up, knocks the gavel) Now announce the opening of the 13th Court of the "Last Judgment" (sit down).Biography accused the 13th President of the United States Millard Fillmore (Millard Fillmore). (Fillmore stands up.) God Lee: You are Fillmore, born in 1800 in the last year of the 18th century, the 13th president of the United States. Fillmore: Yes. God Lee: You were the last president of the United States born in the 18th century. You were born on January 7, 1800. Fillmore: By birthday, I'm from the 18th century. God Lee: Your physiology is from the 19th century, but your psychology is from the 18th century. For example, you signed the "Fugitive Slave Law" to curry favor with the South, capturing escaped black slaves and returning them to their original owners.Even many free blacks who legally lived in the north were captured and sent back to the whites who claimed to be their masters. Your kind of thinking is very 18th century, and it is more lenient than Jefferson's arrest of black slaves. Woolen cloth.

Fillmore: To prevent a civil war. God Lee: You can't stop your American Civil War, you just avoided it.Two days after your death, on March 10, 1874, The New York Times said of you: "He unfortunately regarded slavery as a political rather than a moral issue. Look, he's a politician, not a statesman." Fillmore: Today, the "Last Judgment" is here, and the presidents of the United States are gathered together. Who is the politician?I admit that I am a small person.Before I was 17 years old, I didn't read any other books except the "Bible", but I admit my pettiness...

God Lee: Two years after you stepped down as president, in 1855, in order to return to politics, you joined the American Party, also known as the Know-Nothing Party, in a secret ceremony. In the 1856 general election, he became the first presidential candidate of the anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant American Party, competing for the presidency with the Democratic and Republican parties, and only won 8 electoral votes from Maryland among the 31 states participating in the election.You failed miserably.That time, you were recommended by the "ignorant party", which really fit your so-called pettyness.

Fillmore: (smiling bitterly) I'm really small.So, Oxford University offered me an honorary degree, but I declined, saying that I had no formal education, neither literary nor scientific attainment. God Lee: (laughs) You probably think of the time when Harvard University gave Jackson an honorary degree in 1832. The school gave a speech in Latin to welcome Jackson, and Jackson was stunned. Jackson: (standing up abruptly) I'm so embarrassed!Be fooled by those Harvard nerds!How I regret not hanging them! (Laughter.) Fillmore: (smiling) I'm humbled by an honorary degree from Oxford, and far behind President Jackson in terms of murder.What's more, he is a genuine general, and I am just a minor.

God Lee: Major?You mean that civil war broke out after you resigned. When did you call on the village braves over 45 years old to form the hometown security team? Fillmore: God Lee knows our American history very well. God Lee: But you Major is nothing to be ashamed of, you sent Commodore Matthew C. Perry to open the door to Japan.Since then, you, the United States, have embarked on the road of borrowing Japan to rule China.During your presidency, you not only opened the door to Japan, but also opened the door to California. On September 9, 1850, California became the thirty-first state of the United States, and you officially took away California from Mexico.

Fillmore: We in the United States also spent 15 million US dollars. God Li: Buy Bawang land?Can it not be sold in Mexico? Fillmore: You can't sell it. God Lee: This is how the United States treats its neighbor Mexico?Oh, now that I think about it, it's not like neighbors are treated that way.After the Spanish-American War, the United States snatched Guam and Puerto Rico, and spent another 20 million to buy the Philippines. Fillmore: Buy Overlord Land?Can it not be sold in Spain? God Lee: What do you say? Fillmore: (Smiling.) God Li: Alright, leave the court (The curtain falls.)
