I think there is a very clear difference in the motivations of the South haters before and after 1898. Those on both sides of the original divide were willing to bury the hatchet in a revival of mutual respect after the Spanish American War.

Those who have revived the hostilities, post 1909, are a new breed of Jacobins--admittedly picking up the remnants of the former South haters--as in the founding of the NAACP. Or if you prefer, a growing collection of Marxists, Fabians, etc, who like other Marxists, Fabians & Nazis, abroad, have picked up the Jacobin egalitarian mantra.

All such groups share a strong compulsion for "uniformity" of thought; which after all can be a central element in the need to pretend that all of us are equal--even interchangeable.

We are now entering the phase where Jacobin mobs tried to destroy all the rudiments of French culture.

Contrast Booker T. Washington's picture of race relations in the Old South with the distorted narrative being pushed in Academia, over a century later:

Booker T. Washington Address

Consider Calhoun--the most famous voice of the Old South's-- actual Libertarian views, with the way the Old South is now being falsely depicted:

Fort Hill Address

Consider my personal take on what is going on:

That is actually a pretty good observation. Yes, I think you are right about this.

The belief that they can reinvent man (ala Nietzsche) has long been accepted in these socialist movements. It is the central fallacy of their ideology and the cause of most of their economic failures.

Yes. What we are seeing now, parallels what we have seen before in the past.
