Southern Feudalist Lords are the reason for the Electoral system and Jim Crow that runs the US domestically and Geo Politically. The Civil War may have ended slavery of that era, but morphed into the Robber Baron north version of anti unionism, health care or public schools and any sense of government countervailing power of a progressive tax policy, rules and regulations. War or the threat of war is their biggest cash cow hands down! Some men are chronic womanizers, gamblers and power mongers, the rich are usually all of the above! Power and money go hand in hand for all three!
If you don't think the bulk of the western world participates in modern day peonage, then just try refusing to pay your property taxes next time it comes due (usually semi-annually). You'll see your "ownership" quickly tested with the threat of any illusion of equity being quickly evaporated. Bottom line: You never really own the property you live on (even if you have Title). The local 'lord' only allows you to temporarily inhabit theirs.
BTW, if you want to think of serfs serving Lordships, it apt to appreciate the full context of Feudalism whereby Lords were morally obligated to provide physical protection to those living on the property in return for bulk population peonage. In this context "war or the treat of war" has turned the 99% of the U.S. population into 'villeins'. As the saying goes: The more things change, the more they stay the same. So much for morphing.
In order to morph into "anti unionism, health care, or public schools", the U.S Feudalist South would have had to start from the antithesis of such precedents. I don't believe that was ever the case. As for Feudalistic Lords running geo politics, the U.S. is certainly no exception. I believe they just simply followed the historic rule.
