       Thinking about how during the US Civil War, Black troops passing through parts of the south would ask folks in the local enslaved population which slave owners and overseers were the most violent. They would ransack the plantations of the most brutal slave owners, execute the overseer, and distribute the plantation's resources to the slaves who had produced them. Because of this, there were a lot of autonomous Black farming collectives in the south right before Reconstruction.
