Mr. Dixy
The word preserves the name of a "Mr. Dixy", a slave owner on Manhattan Island where slavery was legal until 1827. His rule was so kind that "Dixy's Land" became famed as a sort of paradise.
This passage can be reworked to better conform to WP:NPOV, but the owner and purported lifestyle must remain as they are vital to the claim. Ping Mlleangelique – Conservatrix (talk) 00:25, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
