Mar 2018

Near the end of that horrible institution of slavery, those uber rich ladies weren't even living on those plantations. They lived in New York city with the other uber rich. It was the caretakers like the concentration camp commandants who lived on and ran the southern plantations. They were hot, muggy dirty places not suited to wealthy ladies.

The plantation caretakers were not particularly rich but did enjoy some prestige. They were mostly noted for being particularly cruel and horrible people. Many of them enjoyed sexually torturing their slave victims.
