I don’t know why you got downvoted because it’s fact that a lot of wealthy southern families are generational plantation wealth that just pivoted into the corporate world after slavery was abolished.
Yeah, Americans aren’t even taught in primary and secondary school that the American Revolution was started by the 1% who wanted more representation for their interests in parliament, not the interests of the poor. The founding fathers were largely wealthy plantation owners, traders, and other types of elites who were losing even more money than before because of the unfavourable tariffs levied on the colonies after the seven years war. Thousands died so the rich could stay rich.

Americans really don’t like pointing out that we have oligarchs too.
