Hell ya let that thing burn! So happy for the people and the country. They should be proud of themselves.
Ok now that y’all read thus far. Auschwitz, Alcatraz and a myriad insane asylums not burner down for very good reasons. But an old slave plantation and we’re all smiles…
That plantation, Nottoway, explicitly presented itself as romantic. When I visited, they had an exhibit about how kindly the old master was, because he gave the slave children candy at Christmas.
It’s a place for rich white people to have weddings at, while being served by underpaid black people who are probably descendants of the people held there. They sold cotton in the gift shop - it was a sugarcane plantation. That’s something you do on fucking purpose.
If you want a place that understands that it is Americans Auschwitz - Whitney Plantation. Amazing place that everyone in the American south should visit.
Yes - the oak trees were a big deal. Touring the gardens was part of the house tour.
They really try to make one of the daughters of the house a sort of princess/Southern Belle. The woman at the gift shop really encouraged me to pick this up, when we started talking about Gone With the Wind.
I’ll have to flip through the ephemera collection to find some of the other “fun” things. Also got a coffee table book somewhere.
If the German government turned Auschwitz into a hotel and resort for people to throw parties and get married and ignore the atrocities that happened there, I’d be in favor of burning it down
Because goyim aren’t having weddings at auschwitz. If the plantations were treated as relics of antebellum brutality we wouldn’t celebrate their incineration, but instead they’re romanticized.

You can tell what their priorities are because the History section of their webpage had nothing in it but the age of the trees on the property.

Considering that this administration is talking about reopening Alcatraz, uh… yeah, probably would have been better for everyone if it burned down.
