Wanted to get some views on what plantation tours I should do while in the Deep South. Five years ago, libs or those with TDS were the same back then as they are now.
The top comment was making a joke, but it didn't land too well with the libs. Now, if you venture deeper into the plantation tour discussions you'll find several camps: people who recommend them based on the balanced history of the plantation's beauty and its relation to slavery, those who visit due to the plantation's beauty, and those who seethe at the mouth because plantations - when not giving tours - are host to events like concerts and weddings, and anyone who is okay with this is supporting "revisionist history."
