Bridgerton is a pseudohistorical Netflix slop set in Regency Era Britain, basically a Jane Austenesque fantasy dumbed down for teenage foids.
Strangely enough half of Britain's population in the show, including the Royal Family, is made up of negroes despite slavery existing at the British Empire and Abolitionism being a huge movement during that era. Nobility and gentry ladies constantly engage in pre-marital or extra-marital s*x despite the mere suspicion of that was enough to ruin a girl's reputation and doom her to the life of a disowned spinster.

imo it's not a big deal on something like Bridgerton since the whole thing is one big unapologetically unrealistic foid daydream of being amongst the aristocracy.

I don't think it's trying to be historically accurate.

The whole point of this slop is to gradually replace history and instill pro-establishment(monarchy) values

No, your example is about the court, where men would pimp their wives and daughters to the King as a way to get favors.
I'm talking about regular marriages between nobles. A girl having s*x before marriage was risking getting pregnant, that could ruin them. In les Miserables Fantine gets fired for having a daughter born out of wedlock. Novels like "Dangerous Liaisons" are better portrayals of how extra marital affairs worked, but basically it was safer after marriage as the husbands couldn't divorce you and would they would also deny being a cuck (it was still done as discreetly as possible so to avoid scandals so many of the lovers were married as well). But for an unmarried girl if the guy talked to his buddies and spread the word she would be seen as a whore and would never get a husband.

It would be too hard to explain to r-slurs and zoomers (I repeat myself) that back then some people were bad and some people were good.

On Jane Austen's novels there are characters who own sugar plantations in the West Indies (aka slave owners) and is a nothing burger.
Modern progressives are fond of revisionism and cling on "blacks freed themselves" narratives as if what happened in Haiti happened elsewhere. The actual abolitionist movements like the one William Wilberforce led in Britain don't fit their narrative nor their aesthetics.
Wilberforce and the British abolitionists were all white, they were also deeply christian and considered slavery as a terrible sin against God and a crime against the Natural Laws. He was also a Tory and churches were the places abolitionists would gather to discuss their strategies, protests and boycotts.
So progs would rather erase them and rewrite history with heroes that fit their aesthetics and agenda better. In Brazil they glorify Zumbi dos Palmares, an Afro Brazilian warlord who led a "quilombo" (place where runaway slaves hid, at some point the largest one, Palmares, became a collection of villages), despite the fact his quilombo wasn't a progressive utopia but basically an African tribe on Brazil with a king and possibly slaves as well.

They do the same here, cutting out the religious aspect of the Civil War. Leftoids today don't want to hear that the North was more devout than the South and was kinda fighting a jihad. Like in the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" I'm not sure people get that the "grapes of wrath" is imagery about God's enemies being trampled and their blood spilled like grapes getting squashed to make wine.

Do you have any good books on that topic? I'm interested in reading more.

It's been a while since I read about it, so I can't remember. But it comes through a lot when you read their media/propaganda from the time like magazines. (You can find a lot of those like Harper's Weekly online.) And just looking into the details of people's lives. Like the guy who killed John Wilkes Booth had trouble staying away from hookers so he cut his own balls off.

There's a fantastic book on caribbean slavery called "Mastery, Tyranny and Desire" which details the daily life of an 18th century British slave owner and his environment (Jamaican White society).
An interesting point is how irreligious they were, the whites at colonial Jamaica were unironically a godless, materialistic and degenerate society (on his diary the guy details whipping his slaves, making a slave shit in the mouth of another, raping slaves, whipping his own mulatto son). I doubt the Plantation masters of the American South were any different.
