"...I recently watched for the first time The Forsyte Saga. The end of the Victorian age. Have been watching Upstairs Downstairs...."
At least Graham's Poldark, admittedly lower gentry, higher than Warleggan, who had fought under King George against the classless American rebels, had the decency of his class to marry Demelza, regardless of and yet also because of, his reputation as a gentleman.
No American rebel could ever say that.
Poldark married his servant.
Jefferson refused to even free any of his slaves, even his long standing concubine and the mother of his many children by her.
With whom would you identify more, you Americans, Poldark or Jefferson?
