@plantationmuscleboy I respect and appreciate and I very much understand your views on the plantation life in antebellum era. I've done extensive research over the years on the antebellum south, civil war etc. and I too find that lifestyle incredibly appealing. Forgive me for jumping the gun and judging you for your view of the lavish lifestyles of the plantation owners. It just always angers me to know that such splendid living and beautiful estates derived from the evils of slavery.

@shannonanddee1 The reality is that there were 3 classes in the Antebellum South: Slaves, farmers / merchants, and plantation owners. You've taken on the perspective of the slave; I on the other hand have taken the perspective of the plantation owner. Remember, there were black slave owners too which liberals don't like to acknowledge. I'd give up today's techy-lifestyle to be the son of a great plantation owner any day. Dancing at a mansion ball with beautiful spoiled belles would be delicious!

@plantationmuscleboy I wonder if your ancestors had done the back breaking labor for the "lavish lifestyles" of barbarians, would "cottonacracy" still be so irrisistable to you. I surmise you really dont know nor understand to what expense on human lives this lavishness actually cost millions of innocent suffering people...no, I thought not.

Well done. There was perhaps no greater time period in history than the Plantation South when Cotton was King. The lavish lifestyles, as illustrated in this video, make the Cottonacracy irrisistible.
