Romanticizing the planter class built on the sweat of slaves has always struck me as tacky. Even when I learned in my 40s that I was descended from slaveholders, I could not see slavery as anything other than the abomination that it was, and I never entertained fantasies about living in the big house, part of a social elite, while others made such a life possible.
