the founders were romaboos
funny how romaboo thought always leads to fascism
What do you mean, idolizing a violent expansionist slavery empire leads to trying the same stuff as them???
I imagine that's how the planters themselves thought of it but, they thought it was a virtue. They envisioned themselves as new repubican aristocrats in the Roman model. They would live in leisurely repose while being able to pursue art, academic writing, and politics just as the Roman latifundia did in the past.
I think it could be related to the liberal revolutionaries' tendency to clothe themselves in the Republican garb of the Classical age in order to legitimize their movement. The French had a similar movement in art and architecture during the age of their revolution and into the Napoleonic era as well.
