Abstract
People carry things both figuratively or literally. This
thesis focuses on the interpretation, symbolism
and meaning in the preserving the Plantation
Great House. This thesis will construct a
methodology through the analysis of the meaning
and how spaces in the Great House are defined,
how its history, function, use and preservation
affects the meaning of the Great House and how
it produces meaning to different individuals in
society.

Slavery and Public History: The Tough Stuff of
American Memory
by James Oliver Horton, Lois E. Horton
America's slave past is being analyzed as never before, yet it
remains one of the most contentious issues in U.S. memory. In
recent years, the culture wars over the way that slavery is
remembered and taught have reached a new crescendo.
From the argument about the display of the Confederate flag
over the state house in Columbia, South Carolina, to the
dispute over Thomas Jefferson's relationship with his slave Sally
Hemings and the ongoing debates about reparations, the
questions grow ever more urgent and more difficult.
