By all means, let’s keep the Plantations open and well stocked with dependent subjects. Operating expenses supplied by the labor and treasure of others, of course.
For proof one can google,among many other things, "Commonwealth Day School" and "Cambridge" and see how the elite of Harvard (yah,*that* Harvard) reacted when children "of color" were spotted in their neighborhood.Among the elitists who openly fought their presence were Julia Child and Laurence Tribe (the finest Supreme Court justice we never had-ROTFL!).
And in covering that very ugly little drama kudos must be sent out to the Harvard Crimson...Harvard's student newspaper.They were all over it!
At least on the Plantations they had to WORK to get fed.
