First antebellum home to be torched: Which state?

What is the literal meaning of antebellum?

Before the War.

Plantation Home if it makes you feel better

Nothing a few snipers can't handle

Well, beings that they started taking the monuments down in New Orleans, then I think they should commence burning the plantations down just upriver.

I'm sure that all of the tour operators out of New Orleans would love to sell tickets and provide conveyance to this. They'll make tons of money at first, but it won't last long.

You didn't qualify this as a plantation antebellum home, so I'll submit the Texas Governor's Mansion.

It was burned by arson in 2008 and I think it was built in 1853..

Authorities have images of persons of interest, but no arrests yet.

Edit: Texas Monthly magazine published a story about persons of interest and possible arrests. I didn't know this.

The two anarchists in question, it turned out, were not the clove-cigarette-smoking variety but part of a new generation of political protesters who advocate such confrontational tactics as those carried out during the 1999 World Trade Organization riots, in Seattle. Brad Crowder, who is 23, and David McKay, a year his junior, were part of a group of eight Austin activists who went to St. Paul in late August, along with thousands of other protesters from around the country, to try to disrupt the Republican National Convention. The plan was to block roads and create chaos in the streets in order to prevent delegates from reaching the convention site, a strategy that resulted in clashes with police and the arrest of more than eight hundred protesters, mostly on misdemeanor charges. According to a federal affidavit, the Austin group brought a rented trailer with them to St. Paul that contained 34 homemade riot shields, which they had fashioned out of stolen traffic barrels. They never had the opportunity to use the shields, however, since police seized them on August 31.
