Hi Lori. Back again. Interesting thing about some of the plantations. We toured several a few years ago. One in particular is privately owned and refuses federal funds because by accepting fed funds requires them to remove certain "remnants" of slavery that occured on the property such as "slave schools". The private association felt that it was important that this part of history be preserved. (apparantly the fed thinking is that schooling slaves shows some positives by slave owners and we can't have that. Sounds pretty PC to me!)
(apparantly the fed thinking is that schooling slaves shows some positives by slave owners and we can't have that. Sounds pretty PC to me!) The history revisionists strike again. Good, bad or ugly...truth is truth and fact is fact. Unfortunately, 'they' will continue to distort the facts to reflect what could have been, should have been or would have been, rather than what "was". Sad.
