I wouldn't disagree with that. I only mentioned the abolitionists because a few wealthy Northerners did give money to John Brown and other anti-slavery activists, and neo-Confederates make much of that. They were atypical and not representative of the North as a whole or of wealthy bankers and industrialists.

It's funny, because many very wealthy individuals today are supporting liberal groups, including some we would regard as liberal terrorist groups. Many people on our side of the Aisle are always quick to blame George Soros, but there is a whole host of liberal billionaires out there that are funding liberal kooks.

Wealthy Urban Liberals that generally live on the Coasts. Same now as then.
