It’s insulting to even compare Auschwitz and a southern plantation in the same sentence. There’s no comparison what so ever. You know that. Auschwitz was a death camp designed specifically to exterminate large groups of people. Don’t even think about comparing the systematic murder of hundreds of thousands of people to slavery.
They may have been slaves, but people raised families on plantations. They had homes, married, they grew up on the plantation, played there, and grew old. There were all kinds of jobs on a really large plantation like Mt Vernon. Blacksmiths, farriers, carpenters, wheelwrights, and many other tradesman. The field hands and other farm laborers were only a part of the bigger picture. A plantation had to be self sustaining. Some jobs were held by free men and some by slaves. It was a mix of people all working together.
Yes, I have visited Mount Vernon. Twice. A wonderful experience. I sure as hell wasn’t visiting any death camp.
