User talk:Samantha.hostetler/Lakeport Plantation

Instructor feedback 4.23.2020
This is looking great; the sections you've added contribute significantly to the article, helping demonstrate both the history of the house and its current life as museum space.

My only major revision suggestion depends on what you've been able to find in the historical record: At the end of "Life on the Plantation," you mention the postbellum shift to "tenant farming and sharecropping," and in "History" you talk about freedmen working for the plantation as paid laborers/sharecroppers. I'm curious about that shift: how many/how long freed slaves continued to live on the plantation, how long the plantation continued to produce cotton after the war, whether the declining prices of American cotton made that less profitable. Are there still cotton fields on the plantation today?

A few small comments and stylistic recommendations:


 * I've added a couple of "citation needed" flags to points at the end of the History section
 * In the "Restoration" section, you repeat the point about adding air conditioning two sentences in a row. Also, "Floorcloth," "Rose window," and "Smokehouse" shouldn't be capitalized (the links to the capital-named pages will still work even if your link isn't upper case).
