When I was a kid, my father took me to see the log cabin where my ancestors lived. It wasn’t nearly as nice as these slave cabins. It was one room, about half the size of the shown cabins, with a front and back porch built on. There was no fireplace.

Yes, but nobody owned your ancestors either. A nice slave cabin is still home to a SLAVE. Someone who is not free.

Check out some of the earlier cabins in Texas and in CA. They were a lot worse than these cabins. In Coloma, CA, tourists can view tiny huts where the gold miners lived, more than one to a hut, that are far worse than these slave cabins.

Holy cow! They must have had plenty of blankets, and where did they cook?
