      Exactly! Most people don’t research to make sure everything they enjoy in life is ethically produced.
      Nearly all races have been enslaved and suffered at some point in life-for most of history!
      If we let our dark pasts rule us, we’d have little to enjoy, and those evil people from the past would literally be taking away our ability to enjoy the beauty from the past.
      Why not focus on the _good_ of that era?! Not all the privileged people living on plantations were pro slavery. Many wives, children, etc spoke out. And many southern white people in general were against it and risked their lives to help blacks escape or hide. Those are amazing stories of courage and heroism. I like to focus on the good.

Having owned one much like it, I really love reliving the memory of my little ones running in circles though the living room, in to the hallway and through the parlor and squeezing between the parlor doors ( I usually kept them open just enough for them to sneak through- Oh the laughter! and great times they had) So very beautiful! So ornate and exotic. The antiques we filled it with were not quite so grand but just as lovely. The home we are renovating this time is not quite as large and lovely but the history is just as as amazing. I've moved from a Kentucky Railroad barons home to a home built well before the last one, this one in the late 1700's to very early 1800's in historic Virginia.
