Interesting how all civic architecture pre-abolition has a classical look-should that be slaved look?

Interesting point. "Race" became codified into a social system during the 18th century, and that codification seems to be correlated to the emergence of the neoclassical style in architecture.

Neoclassical architecture - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoclassical_architecture
Neoclassical architecture is an architectural style produced by the neoclassical movement that began in the mid-18th century. In its purest form, it is a style principally derived from the architecture of classical antiquity, the Vitruvian principles, and the work of the Italian architect Andrea Palladio.
