You are quite ignorant, but I’m sure that it’s not your fault. My 3d great grandfather owned thousands of acres of land and slaves. The slaves were freed and the land was given to former slaves, many of them not his former property. The former slaves of my GGG Grandfather ended up with nothing as did my ancestors. Those who got the land were the carpetbaggers, their friends, and the other who were in political power. Those Blacks who were granted land by the Freedmen’s Bureau were later cheated out of that land and became tenant farmers with little to show for it. It sucks to be the losers. Were your family one of the winners? It’s good to be a winner, and profitable.
