Just check the Eisenhower-Obama overlay map to see how the Parties have changed hands. Democrats used to have the Southern white agrarian racists locked down as a reliable constituency. That is over. Oh, is that over! Eisenhower did extremely well among college graduates, and so did Obama.  

If Democrats have a connection to the old slave-owning planters then it is through those planters' ill-favored descendants: their slaves and the descendants of those slaves. There was much sowing of wild oats in the days of slavery, and when some comparatively-pale slave child appeared, then the slave-owner's family typically responded with 

"Who, me? Impossible. I am a good family man. That must have been some lonely merchant or other traveler."

American history began with a series of tax revolts. The American Revolutionary War triggered by an attempt by the British to seize an arsenal and disarm the American population. Well, here we are again poised to repeat history. The only difference is, the British of the time are Democrats of today. As far as the Confederacy and it's connection to the Democratic party, the connection existed and still exists today. Joe Biden is proof of it. The Democratic party of today still has a hold over the bulk of them (the descendants of the slaves) today. The hold that the Democratic party has is more psychological and financial than physical like it was back then. The plantations are no longer functional, apparent or visible these days. The old plantations have been replaced by one large government institution aka the welfare state which the party has control over these days. In short, the Democratic blacks aren't free or at least not as free as they should be by now, The Democratic party still has a hold over most of them. Like you, the Democratic blacks have no other choice but to go along with the Democratic party and whatever they do and whatever trouble or bind they get you in at this point. It's kind of sad but it is what it is and there's no turning back.
