It was(an attempt at least) at being a sarcastic reference to the fact that every ye olde quainte antebellum plantation currently restored and available for events, or ancestor mentioned to have owned such a thing at some point in the past invariably seems to turn into one of the ‘good’ ones in the telling. Even if they aren’t feeling gutsy enough to go for a general purpose defense of the institution; whatever specific one they identify with is always different somehow.

It’s not a huge surprise that people dislike the “actually, great grandad was a moral monster” concept; but that doesn’t make the contortions required to pretend otherwise sound any less unimpressive.

Second rule of demon summoning: do not call up that which you cannot put down.

First rule, of course, being “never do that,” but who’s gonna listen?

I only wish we had an “I know” right as opposed to the know-nothings we’ve got now.
