You are simply not looking at co-factors when it comes to the state withdrawals that you mentioned. The US power structure in Washington does not have a particular Southern bias towards classical slavery, if anything the trend has been against Southern US preferences within Washington towards an assimilationist strategy.

In regards to US imperialist intervention, need I remind you that there was a much more significant anti-war movement during the Bush 43 years then during the current Trump term. All the masses in the streets did not stop Iraq from being attacked. Fast forward to the push for post-iraq incursions and you are seeing a hiccup in the road IN SPITE of much reduced anti-war movement at least from the left. Part of the right, specifically the anti-interventionist, has played a role in US imperial hiccups in regards to Syria as well as not quite being able to get regime change done in Venezuela. Is it that the right is doing all the right things the left did not do back in 2002-03? No. Again it's co-factors such as anti-interventionist elements of the US power structure, a noisier heartland against war which was lacking in 2002-03 in spite of a more organized anti-war movement, successful counter strategies from Russia and other US leviathan rivals ect. These are the co-factors that you are not looking at.

Stop rotting and retarding your mind with all that organized ideological leftism already.
