New Orleans vacation (10 of 10): More holiday home tour.

At that same house with the refreshments, this older (white) guy who were chit-chatting with at the patio said something offhandedly about the war of "northern aggression".

At the very next house, however, we had our only (black) tourguide of the day, this slightly potbellied (black) guy in his late 30s who had a southern accent and enunciated everything very precisely and seeemed kind of gay.

"And this is where the enslaved Africans used to go into the kitchen," he would say, gesturing to a door off the dining room.

Later, he said something like, "The [name of the family] Family had 4 enslaved Africans," too.

He even may have used that phrase once more, but I can't remember how.
