Why would anyone use cotton plants as decor since we know the cruelties of slavery when cotton was picked?

And what's with these Plantation style weddings? Why doesn't anyone have any weddings at abandoned insane asylums?

Do you eat rice? Do you smoke tobacco? Do you eat berries or corn? Do you eat meat?

Nearly every crop/livestock was once worked by enslaved people or poor free people who traveled for the field work and had no choice but to accept minimal wages. No sense in boycotting a plant now just because there was ONCE cruelty involved in the procuring of it. As long as the company you buy from is ethical, it should be fine.
