Please change your username davischarles099 as it includes Charles, and in history there were some really bad and powerful people named Charles that killed or enslaved many people.

Jefferson Davis was the head of the confederacy. Change your name.

Whats wrong with the word plantation? It comes from planting.

Should we change the word ship as well since the slave brought to the US by ships? And maybe water too because they didnt get enough water on the trip? How about whip since some slaves have been whipped? Or even better forbid whips at all. And ships. And water, too

There really isn't any acceptable word that denotes what a plantation is. He has Estate up there but that actually does have 'colonial' implications as well - check out Sri Lanka for example. Homestead is more in reference to a rural home and if we are just going to call it a 'farmstead' we may as well just call everything a farm outright. Vineyard is too narrow a term.

Plantation may be an ugly word but it adequate identifies that it is a cash crop location.

Lucky, you need a politics forum, ideally one on twitter where orthodox left wing views are the only ones allowed. Start here and the conversation will get closed.
