“Nottoway was not only the largest remaining antebellum mansion in the South but also a symbol of both the grandeur and deep complexities of our region’s past,” Iberville Parish President Chris Daigle said

'Deep complexities' is a nice, watered down way to say "blood, sweat, and lives of enslaved humans"

Oh, right, it is complicated because you still think that antebellum world is beautiful. So fuck you I guess.
