Why do Historians make such a big damn thing over something like this? It’s his property...
Upon doing Ancestry research, I discovered that hubby’s maternal great-great-great-grandfather, Archibald Stewart, owned about 200 slaves in Alabama. He lost everything in the civil war and left for Texas in 1866 where he promptly became wealthy again. Go figure. The acorn fell far from the tree in our case, lol.
In my best Texas county sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason, Smokey & the Bandit voice,) boy, your not thinking right, remember boy "You didn't build that!"
Thank you; Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, a.k.a., Pocahontas, of a line she pioneered ("You didn't build that.") during her 2012 campaign for a Massachusetts, a.k.a. Taxachusetts, Senate seat.
