So my story features one location (an old house in Alabama) in both the modern-day and pre-civil war era (Antebellum). The main characters in the Antebellum setting are wealthy but do not own slaves. This is a major point of contention between them in this section, but as a white girl in a more urban part of Alabama, I know that I will have to add interactions with slaves in the story to keep up validity of the era, but I'm afraid of making the issue seem too trivial or romanticized because of the main characters' disconnect with the business of slaves. Any pointers?
