You might want to study some pre-war census reports, it was no "spot on the road". Already been there. First stop, actually. Can't find anything indicating some massive population drop. Maybe you can find different. The 1850 census found about 6800 white people living in the whole of Chesterfield County.
The area was very prosperous.
A regular Paradise Lost, huh?
You need to study the area before the war, you know some actual study.
Feel free to support your claims with actual evidence beyond your say-so.
You know, I would rather struggle with a southern martyr complex
I don't see any sign of struggle. I think "wallow" would be a better word. But I guess you need some excuse for yourselves.

So what are you saying here, that you have actually been to Mt.Croghan? When and for how long? Passing through? Business or pleasure?
First stop
and this means what?

Mt Croghen was what was called "the village" for the area plantations. The area that surround "the village" was the local plantations and their families. "The village" consisted of the businesses and homes of those that supported life on the plantations. Therefore for an accurate picture of the area pre-war one would need to to study the surrounding areas. My families plantations were actually 3 miles outside of Mt. Croghen. This area would also include areas surrounding the historical boundaries of Anson, NC and Chesterfield County, SC.
A regular Paradise Lost, huh?
It was a place to raise families, work, worship the Lord, and enjoy the good things He provided.

I don't have time to copy and paste for people looking only to rip it apart for their own agenda. If you want to study it, open an unbiased history book.

That's because there was no struggle, only the undefended, black and white women, children, and the elderly. You should be proud.
