Intro needs to specify that this was a forced-labor farm[edit]

Oaklyn Plantation was a forced-labor farm on which African Americans were enslaved to work for the comfort and profit of their white owners. The source of the enterprise's labor was central to its existence and therefore should be explicitly stated in the intro. It is not sufficient to say Oaklyn was a plantation, with a link to the article "Plantation complexes in the Southern United States", which says only that these were "generally self-sufficient settlements that relied on the forced labor of enslaved people".
