Top 10 OLD MONEY Communities in THE SOUTH

[@raydaniel2490]

Macon, GA. Macon is a treasure trove of old money mansions whether it is the Intown Macon area or the Shirley Hills or Stanislaus neighborhoods. The architecture is amazing. While visiting a mansion in Natchez, the docent asked where I was from and I replied Macon. He laughed and said, "Why did you come to Natchez to see fabulous homes and architecture, my wife and I actually visited Macon to see the fabulous homes." Oh well, sometimes you take for granted the beauty that is around you.

Buckhead Ga, St Simons Ga...both need to be here

[@kennixox262]

Buckhead while exceedingly wealthy, is not a city but a district of Atlanta that was incorporated into the city in about 1955. Looks as if city hood for Buckhead "Buckhead City" proposition went down in flames agin this year and I find it ironic that Lenox Square mall has had to install metal detectors at the entrances. So, trust me on this; if you live in Buckhead, you live in the City of Atlanta. If one is going to live in Buckhead, you want to be on or around W. Paces Ferry Road in close proximity to the Governor's mansion or around Tuxedo. The rest of it is so, so.

This amendment conveniently arrived at the tail end of the Industrial Revolution, which emphasized prison-friendly manufacturing work over agrarian work. The list goes on. More recently, Martin Luther King decreed that blacks' love for our enemies should be primarily impersonal and "spiritual" in nature, as opposed to emotional or erotic. I'm a biracial female who looks to black to qualify for informal "free black" status, but I'm largely attracted to guys like my dad who is both white and much higher-status than I am.

As someone Born in the south, Raised in the south, & Gonna die in the south. Virginia is not the South, I don’t care what you Northerners & your history books try to tell us.. 2:16

It seems Jefferson Davis thought VA was in the south since he established the capital of the confederacy in Richmond.

[@maryelizabeth2751]

Aiken, SC

[@porterosbournejr.5083]

Little too much new money for my taste. True Old South communities should be considered for this list: -Madison, GA -Thomasville, GA -Aiken, SC -Eufaula, AL -Beaufort, SC -LaGrange, GA

Slave labor was not free: why does this call it free? The slaves were bought by the huge plantation owners and the slaves were the most valuable "property" the planters had besides the land.

[@buckchile614]

It's called free because they weren't paid, you cheap fuch

[@imahick5723]

Just the British Royal Family! Money earned on the backs of poor people who worked long days on farms and in factories. Disgraceful history

[@areguapiri]

​@@imahick5723 ..and they were beaten, raped, and murdered while having NO chance of freedom.

[@portialemieux1740]

Our LABOR was free.... We weren't on payroll, we were producing without pay.

Must be 🐻‍❄️ huh only those in guilt will say some stupid shit blacks built this shit was drugged into destroying just so you all can buy it all back for cheap and raise the price I accept it when the wealthy will admit it loud and clear
