Nope, most became abandoned between the end of the war and the 1930's. Costs of farm labor and never-ending home maintenance were the main factors. That's why so many fell in to disrepair and no longer exist.
I don't know why, but it makes me sad to imagine a beautiful mansion just sitting there and rotting.

Well I've seen it all. A Michigan man that damn near sounds like one of those "Lost Cause" believers down here.

My family still has a ton of land in Mississippi that dates bate to those days. All the homes are now gone but the farm lands still brings in money every year.
It would be pretty awesome if there was a huge plantation home on our land. I would have zero issue living in it
