Would you be comfortable taking a tour of Southern plantations?

I’ve just read about a riverboat trip that includes touring several plantations and “their complex history.” From my recent reading and learning, I’ve come to believe that most, if not all, were basically concentration camps that have been glorified by mythology.

Without knowing how they’d be treated, I’m wondering how comfortable it would be to be a tourist.

(By the way, there is an excellent book I just read about how the legacy of slavery is told. It’s called How the Word is Passed by Clint Smith. I recommend it.)
