Question is in title.

In my case, my family was one of the last families in Puerto Rico to own slaves. For the last few generations the plantations were maintained more by my family themselves and the slaves were mostly relegated to house work. I am told that my family treated those house slaves well and without abuse. The abolition of slavery so did not affect my family's status much, but we were still hated by many of the people of the area.
My great grandpa so in the mid 1900s from the kindness of his heart gave away in reparations much of our land, our plantations and so on, so much so that we went from an upper class family to a middle class family.
While my great grandpa named some of that land after himself after giving it to the public, the town's people destroyed the signs and erased his name from it. At least we're not hated anymore, I guess, but sometimes I wish that we could have large farmland today and that the upper class would not consist of the Americans and Jews.
