allot of them do have them if they are ran by the state i grew up in Charleston and most of them still had the slaves quarters but it all depends on like i said if it's a state owned or privately owned some keep them some don't. but also like someone said most of them were torn down by the carpet baggers when they came down south. or burnt down by Union soldiers.
and to the idiots that saying it is racist to keep them how is it racist to keep them? it shows just how the slaves had to live a child will learn more about it if he can go into a slave house and see just what it was like to be there.they are a window in time and u will never get that by looking at a picture.

Most of the plantations from the 1860's had their slave quarters torn down during the civil war. You won't find hardly any plantations that still have their slave quarters still standing. Very very rarely will you find one and even then they won't restore them because of slavery. I live in the south and have been all over and seen some very beautifully restored old plantation homes, but I have yet to actually see one that had the slave quarters still standing. They didn't even renovate them into barns or anything, they think of it as bad karma. Even those southerners that STILL think the south should have won won't touch them. Don't ask me, its a southern thing, but I can understand.

a number of those IDIOTS that say "it relies upon" or want to be "politically best" It would not count and slavery isn't politically best. you may preserve this historic previous so human beings will study from it and understand what that's like. To eliminate the slaves quarters is in result glossing over historic previous. human beings of each and every color could now the data as a thanks to comprehend better. every person who says that's racist is being moronic and needs to be knowledgeable. they could comprehend that persons witnessing those issues will cause them to extra conscious, extra tolerant, and a lot less racially biased even as they could see how others were treated. I now stay in Japan. Being a Caucasian in North u . s . a . of america I not in any respect experienced racism. After living in Japan I have. the eastern will refuse non-eastern the front into bars,lodges, eating places, golf equipment etc. It has occurred to me many cases. that's really without delay ahead in rural aspects of Japan. For me this replaced into an eye fixed beginning journey. i imagine retaining the slaves quarters on the plantation serves a similar purpose.

I don't think it is racist(slaves have not always been African) or bad karma, they're ashamed of that part of history and try to hide it. I see no problem with restoration for the sake of preserving a little bit of history. We get a better idea of how our ancestors lived if we can see where they lived. It's not like they are going to be used again, is it?

Are you that ignornant and shallow? Would you want to own a house where white people were tortured and kill or lived horribly. Well I don't know maybe you would. I sure hope you do not have any children that could possibly pass down the ignorance that you display.
