They made the word “antebellum” sound so docile and beautiful.

They romanize the antebellum south bc in this period all they had to do was exist no input required. Which is where the misplaced anger stems from.

The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah Jones is a must read. Our history is repeating itself. And it's not so glamorous.

Almost no one knows what antebellum means. Thank you for informing. It wasn’t Hollywood. It was ugly on the surface and underneath.

The romanticism of the “Antebellum” south was a repugnant time escalating the hardships of blacks.

I visited a plantation in Louisiana and they NEVER talked about the slaves. They romanticized the family life. I went to school in NY and was shocked at the lack of real history/info.

You have a gift for delivering history. I've been honest with my kiddo about the history of our nation, and will be using several of your phrases as we move into this timeline. Thank you!

Plus wealth in England depended on slavery in colonies around the world

It was very interesting to me to visit some historic sites in the south (NC in particular) and watch the tour guides all but turn themselves inside out to avoid discussing slavery.

The people seem to think Southern old money is the height of sophistication and something to be proud of. I would be ashamed of my old money because you know where it came from

I'm ashamed to admit that I've learned far more about this from TikTok than I ever learned in a history class.

Have you heard of Stagville Plantation around Durham, NC? It is Supposed to be more truthful, telling the slave story …. from a less whitewashed perspective.

Hollywood can be poison. We need more real history documentaries and movies.

Don't forget the northern states had slavery also, although they did abolish slavery in the 18th century. Vermont being the first state to abolish slavery.

As a lover of history, I deeply resent the slants and outright mistruths I was fed. The truth is coming out and some people are scared.
