...the servant’s quarter

Uh, oh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I remember visiting the Biltmore house in North Carolina and seeing the many little servants ( slaves) rooms on the bottom floor. Calling it servants quarters these days is incredibly stupid.

Slaves? Huh?

You do realize that Biltmore wasn’t built until the 1890s?

What, then, would you call that area? Employee accomodation? Siesta section? Hood for the help?
