Can't help but wonder what sort of nonsense TPTB fed to southern Proles, to motivate them to fight and die, so rich people could keep their slaves.
You might enjoy reading The State of Jones (also a movie but the book is better). From Amazon:
The State of Jones is a true story about the South during the Civil War—the real South. Not the South that has been mythologized in novels and movies, but an authentic, hardscrabble place where poor men were forced to fight a rich man’s war for slavery and cotton. In Jones County, Mississippi, a farmer named Newton Knight led his neighbors, white and black alike, in an insurrection against the Confederacy at the height of the Civil War.
