Loved how you captured Charleston, I always enjoy a trip down to the Holy City

I enjoyed this very much, but I have to ask, when was the last time you visited Charleston? Alas, the statue of Calhoun in Marion Square was taken down.

Yes - this essay was written in 2018. I am leaving that part as is in the hopes it will be restored.

Do you live there?

I grew up in Charleston, and moved away years ago, but I still have family there and go back when I can. I'm glad you didn't edit out the part about the statue. Calhoun is more conspicuous in his absence.

Thank you, Cameron. But I don't see how this article relates to your theme of men establishing themselves outside of the conventional system.

It doesn’t. These are separate travel essays.

Interesting it's from 2018, I wonder how it changed during the interval.

Did the slavery museum tell the real and whole story of slavery, or just the heavily edited version that most people have a vague idea about?
