There is an ongoing dialogue about slavery that is moored to ideological, social, and physical remnants of plantations. Scholars are active participants in creating and interpreting representations of postbellum plantations as public heritage sites that shape national memory. What tools and theoretical approaches can inform how we interpret, analyze, and represent characterizations of plantation life today? In this article, I talk about the historical moment in which plantations existed (transatlantic slavery), descendent interpretations, and ways in which descendent memories instruct reconfiguration of systems of categorization today. Research conducted in the three postbellum plantation communities in the U.S. South that are referenced in this analysis—Boone Hall and Snee Farm in South Carolina and Kingsley Plantation in Florida—inform this discussion
