Poor whites still benefited from slavery. They were not the bottom of the social order and of course they benefitted from infrastructures and things that resulted from slave labor.

or the part where some slaves were treated so well that they returned back to the plantations they were put on?

The video that I attached addresses this. Also there's something called Willie Lynch syndrome, I suggest you look it up.

or the part where you find out each slave cost around 20 grand in our money today and how they just had to let what they invested in walk away because the North wanted us to pay for 75% of the federal government in a nicer way?

This is not true and no legit civl war historian condones this narrative. It's all lies that were taught to Southerners to endear them more to the cause of the confederacy.
