James Sr.

[edit]

It was James Sr. who owned Mulberry, not his son James Jr. (the husband of the diarist). They did not reside at Mulberry, she did not spend most of her diary chronicling it (in fact she hated the place). I have made som changes, and removed references to James Jr.'s legislative career.

Wealth impossible without slavery?

[edit]

As of December 14, 2024, the article says, "All of this wealth would have been impossible without the forced labor of the hundreds of enslaved people that Chestnut held in ownership." In addition to being unsourced, isn't that also objectively false? Far larger fortunes were amassed, back then and since, without slavery.

Is there any objection to the sentence's deletion? Going once… Going twice…. 2603:6010:100:6E85:20E2:4920:8804:978C (talk) 20:16, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
