Good read. It's about time someone commented on the " Southern Belle" deception. Movies and books have always portrayed this as a time of glamor and pomp and circumstances, never once showing the seedy side of plantation life that was full of misery, heartache, and pain for the slaves that made everything possible for the slave owners and their so-called Southern Belles.

Blacks were the biggest owners of slaves.

Emily you need to go back to school. Sad.
