[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's certainly not romantic *because* it's on a plantation.  A plantation is not an inherently romantic place, unless you are into Scarlett O'Hara cosplay nonsense.  The romantic image of the Old South is a lie.

A wedding at a home that used to be a plantation might nonetheless be romantic, but it would not be because of the history of the house as a plantation.  [/quote]

Seriously.  I don't understand why people have any romantic notions about places where human beings were owned, whipped, raped, children taken from them, etc.[/quote]

So, we can't be romantic about anywhere, because that stuff happened everywhere. Too bad, I guess. We have to spend our lives wallowing in guilt and misery because people we don't even know had a hard time over 150 years ago. Why? Because shut up, raciss.

By the way, everyone throw away your Regency and Victorian romances because the British were being mean to people while conquering and ruling their Empire![/quote]
