Plantation homes seem to be extremely flammable.
They were mainly built of wood, with brick facade on only the front. Combine that with the fact that if your home caught fire there was no fire brigade coming to put it out.
Many were also destroyed by the Union Army as they drove South, raping and pillaging the land, homes, and residents.
