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.
