octopus_inkNation's largest remaining antebellum plantation burns to the ground
Hot take: This isn’t uplifting at all. Burning this is like burning a labor camp, it reminds people of what life really was back then. It’s important to preserve history, especially if it’s dark, so we don’t repeat it.
Agreed.
Burning this place helps erase the stories of the people who died there. It doesn’t help to preserve them.
