[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We could tear down all the old plantation houses.  Or we could use them for something better.  [/quote]

I truly don't see the problem with tearing them down. [/quote]

Bury the past?[/quote]

Do you like confederate memorials too? [/quote]

I don't think tearing down the plantation houses is a good idea, but I do think using them for something better is.

You seem to prefer to get rid of them.  Out of sight, out of mind.  [/quote]

Let me explain. "Better" in this context seems to mean weddings. You can't have it both ways. You can't honor the past by keeping it and using it for a wedding and then go to the wedding and ignore the horrors of what happened. Sure, use it as a museum, whatever, but tearing them down isn't preferable to a wedding.

Personally I vote for tearing them down and erecting memorials in their place. The operators of these places usually suffer from antebellum nostalgia. [/quote]

Go ahead.  [/quote]
