The antebellum South was rigidly hierarchal. Each state was essentially a monarchy with democratic trappings. There were elections, but the same families kept popping up. Much as today, wealth flowed upward. The middleclass consisted of professionals like bankers, lawyers and doctors and was tiny. Below them were people who owned the land they worked as subsistence farmers and below them were the even more destitute as sharecroppers and day laborers. For the melanin enhanced, the less said the better. Religion was the glue that held it together. After The Great Unpleasantness, things changed a little. Slavery was out, but sharecropping wasn't a big step up for them. And the whites on that level were less than pleased with the competition. Usher in Jim Crow and all it entailed. It took the boom of the 1960s and1970s to change things. The thing that drives me absolutely bonkers about MAGAts is that they want to not only bring that crap back, they want to run the entire country that way.
