They are 😂 Plantations ARE farms. Not all farms are plantations.

monocrop factory farms that are among the leading causes of deforestation, yes plantations are farms, farms that should not exist

No, I just have more cred than all of you combined when it comes to talking about anything to do with agriculture. Notice how dipshit here started his rhetoric with the civil war(implying slavers), but then switched up to deforestation and mono/polyculture? Huh! Kind of weird!

enjoy agriculture while we still have it. drought, heat, and land degradation are going to ruin future harvests. you can bury your head in the sand though, by the looks of it there’s plenty of it where the topsoil used to be… before the plantations and monocultures stripped the topsoil

i know because South Carolina used to have some of the most fertile soil, before it was stripped for monocrop production

irrelevant to your point? your argument was that we shouldn’t have burnt down all the slaver’s plantations because of food. they were not growing food. you’re just objectively wrong.

We’re dairy, bud. The only thing that gets drained is ground water on our part. “Burying our head in the sand” while growing corn, alfalfa, wheat, triticale. And what you’re looking as a drive 🤣 not a field. I can go get a picture of topsoil if you’d like.

“Not a single plantation should’ve been left standing post-civil war”. What about the ones in the north that didn’t hire slaves? I mean he already gave his answer, but you realize how disingenuous it is for him to use slavery as a reason to get rid of plantations(which you should probably look the definition up rather than having an ethereal definition based off what movies and tv shows you’ve seen).

Hire and indenture slaves* typo on my part. Was being specific about post-civil war.

stop playing dumb. in the context of the civil war everyone knows what is meant by “we need to destroy the plantations”. just say you support slavers lmao, nazi piece of shit.

Nah. I just care about wording because the English language is complex for good reason 🙂 We don’t have to guess what people are saying when we can just outright use the correct wording hence why he switched from being against plantations because they were the primary economic sector for the South to “plantations are bad and shouldn’t exist because of monoculture”. Using “plantation” as if it’s synonymous with slavery is disingenuous. There are legitimate arguments against both 🙂

you’re being pedantic because you have no actual argument. there was no grammatical / language mistake made. yes it is technically ambiguous, but with the context of the sentence it is entirely clear what is meant. sincerely go fuck yourself

There is though. We should have burnt down all the plantations and replaced them with…..what exactly? It’s like saying “Someone should have strangled baby Hitler!”. Like okay…???

with nothing? or even better divy up all of the land to the newly freed slaves that lived on it? every single member of the planter aristocracy should’ve been made destitute

Even with the context, it’s still a dogshit idea. You’re going to destroy an entire regions economy and do NOTHING to fix it? There are plenty of arguments where you fault the US government at the time for allowing plantation owners to keep their land due to them being traitors to the Union, but you have to have a plan to actually segue that destroyed economy into something feasible that people can work with. Hence why WW2 happened…because we didn’t do shit for Germany and Austria/Hungary in WW1

That still doesn’t work though outright though. Slaves weren’t educated nor did they really have a full understanding of agriculture. Someone, whether it be the US government or other farm owners, would have had to teach them. Even then, we’re still talking about a time in history when African-Americans STILL didn’t have equal rights. It’s just shitty hindsight
