There are several plantations in Maine that have and never had even the slightest thing to do with slavery or black people.

Let’s not forget that the official name of Rhode Island is “State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations”.

In Maine it’s a districting term like township

Not a working farm like the usual use of the term

Big farms in the south are still mostly called plantations

Dockery Comes to mind...famous for blues

Since MAine split from Massachusetts after Massachusetts quit slavery you could argue as a state Maine never had slaves

Abundant virtue signaling upon request

How nice

Well, Maine is making up for it in "spades". You all have enough Somolians now to staff a couple hundred plantations. Unfortunately the invaders already have a gig on the welfare plantation.
