An official sign declaring that slaves were 'well taken-care of and happy' at Louisiana's most-visited historical site - a former cotton plantation - has been taken down.
It's unclear how long the sign was up at the state-owned and operated Rosedown Plantation, which sits on 374 acres in St. Francisville.
It was on display in the plantation's detached kitchen as part of an exhibit called 'Slave Life at Rosedown.'
About 850 people had been enslaved there before the outbreak of the Civil War, including newborn babies and the elderly. The sign said they lived in 'prettily built and very comfortable' cabins, where they were awoken at 4am, and had 'a natural musical instinct' that was showcased at Christmas.

My question is...why are so many whites so delusional about the worst thing that happened in America, and America's original sin?
Oh this is DIRECTLY out of the Cult of the Lost Cause Revisionism propaganda.
Same fantasy that set up all those statues and monuments under fire.
How many Americans were you thinking of? I never met a single white person or ever heard of one that thought slavery was anything but an evil American institution we still suffer repercussions from.
There were certainly less whites, and Americans of all sorts, who thought slavery was okay than pro choice leftists who think the lives of small helpless children are of no importance and legally theirs to do with whatever they wish which is precisely, ironically, the slave holders view of their slave's lives. They belonged to the slave masters.
They were less than human, not legally recognized with rights... they were expendable...just like the unborn.
Do leftists acknowledge the link between the moral catastrophe of slavery and it's contemporary great American twin evil brought to us by the left wing pro choice machine?
And just like that here's post two, the Lost Cause Cult sending its minions to deflect onto something else to take off the spotlight.
Predictable.
RepubliKlans are now the main proponents of Lost Cause
