i went to monticello in virginia, i went to montpelier, i went to the shirley plantation in virginiad have lived. and what's happening at a lot of those plantations, not all of them, is they are beginning to reincorporate enslavement and acknowledge the fact that all of those resources and those riches derived from the fact from people there who were property. in many ways, the reason why i asked you that question, is because that gets back to the whole thing i was talking about with myth. once you acknowledge that the war was about slavery, slavery was a big deal, that plantation looks really, really different. and the people feel kind of different about the architecture. and they have to talk about the architecture a little differently. in fact they might wonder if they even want to talk about the architecture at all at that point. >> stephen: you know, when i went to monticello the last time, i heard something that was obvious, but wasn't expressed this way, they were only referring to the enslaved people there, not the slaves. >> not the slaves, yes. >> stephen: it was a very imp
