John Mason A Planter?
[edit]Why is Mason and other noble landholders referred to as "planters" instead of "slaveholders" which is what they were. Mason himself "planted" nothing. He was a slaveholder, which is how he garnered his wealth, and this should be noted for the historical record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.229.102.208 (talk) 10:43, 8 October 2012 (UTC)--74.229.102.208 (talk) 10:46, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
