America has always had condensed wealth to the few.

After the Civil War, the South was again ruled by an elite class that profited from the labor of sharecroppers, who were the former slaves.
Before the Whites settled on the land, that land was cleared,and those who did the clearing were the slaves.
The land remained cleared,and every generation that has planted on that land benefited from the clearing of that land, by slaves. The roads and railroads that were necessary to get crops to market were also built by slaves,and maintained by chain gang labor after the Civil War.
Jim Crow exploited the labor of the ex-slaves in very much the same way as slavery had done. And Jim Crow was in effect until the 1960's.
