Ehh we gotta keep a few remnants around. Think, if none of these places existed, you’d get neo-nazis claiming shit like “slavery never existed, there is no evidence of such a thing, where are the buildings? Where are these so called “plantations”. Exactly, it never existed”.
Where did I draw a line, I just don’t see it as something to cheer.
The state should have taken it as a landmark and kept it as a museum. The absence of visible history is the easiest way to try to forget history, people already argue that the antebellum South wasn’t as horrific as it actually was and you’re cheering on the absence evidence that exists without it. Ie. You’re cheering on slavery denialism via spoliation.

The slave quarters and other structures remain unburned, actually, so in fact the historical landmark/lesson is still there. :)
You’re drawing really strange moral lines here.
How so?
If the quarters are important the house is as well.
As if you aren’t.

Nice words you’re putting in my mouth.
and you didn’t do the same to me? Maybe thicken that skin if you insist on throwing stones.
I don’t even remember who you are or what you’re talking about
