But of course its not surprising to see the PC Revisionists try to just scream “slavery slavery slavery” at every turn while denying how the Northern states were voting themselves other people’s money....how corporate fatcats had politicians in their pocket and manipulated government policy to increase their profits.

And it's still going on today. The Democrat Coalition (Led by Wealthy Coastal Urban Liberals) is made up of people with excessive influence on the government stoking astro-turf about the latest politically correct issues of the day like "Global Warming", and "Transgenderism" and "Sanctuary Cities" as well as "Gun Control" and "Choice".

A tiny wealthy minority leading a coalition of the stupid and the insane who they keep worked up into a frenzy about whatever is their kooky cause du jour, to keep them voting to put "establishment" agents back into power.

This is why they own the media. The media is an investment in electing Democrats to keep the government policies that send money into their pockets, such as excessive borrowing and spending.

And it has been going on since just before 1861.

Rubbish, they've always been Democrats.
The Jefferson/Jackson Democrats began before 1800 centered on the Southern slave-power, allied with Northern Big City immigrant bosses around 1832.
They ruled Washington DC until secession in 1861 and became powerful again soon after the Civil War.
With Wilson and especially FDR they again took power long term.
Sure, roughly 1964 they swapped out white Southerners for black Southerners, but otherwise they're the same people, with the same agendas & tactics they've always been.
