The Confederacy was a scheme to protect the Southern ruling class of its time, and white supremacy was a tool to trick poor and working class whites to do their bidding
We can go back farther. Whiteness as a concept was literally created to justify slavery to Europeans through scientific racism. Before the North Atlantic slave trade no one identified as a "white" person.

I’m embarrassed to be white sometimes. YOUR SKIN COLOR DOES NOT MAKE YOU BETTER. Get over yourself. And also, you lost. Congrats, you’re a loser now.
Edit: this comment explains what I meant by “I’m embarrassed to be white” THANK YOU!
