I see your point but what I was trying to do actually is highlight the fact the legislation and enforcement was literally done by Confederate veterans, especially in MS, AL, AR, LA, and somewhat in GA (and other states). Enforcement was carried out by both state and non-state actors, the non-state actors having backup from the state (police, National Guard, and military), which is exactly the situation in occupied Palestine today.
Sure. But this would be similar to blaming settlers or “bad leaders” in Israel as the problem and giving liberal Zionist a pass. It’s not wrong. But white supremacy is as fundamental a part to America as Jewish supremacy is to Israel. Especially if compared at equal stages of their colonialist expansion.
