re: Larry David discovers he had slave owning and Confederate ancestors

My great great great grandfather owned over 100 slaves and owned the Destrehan plantation. He had 11 of them heads cut off and put on a pike on the ms river after a slave revolt. Then in his final will he freed them all and instructed them all to receive a parcel of land but the courts struck it down. His nephew also owned a plantation that he lost in the civil war after he became financially ruined trying to fund the war. The state took his land around Baton Rouge and built what is known today as Louisiana State University.
