6. "A manor is a plantation house of the antebellum South."

Tell that to the people who live in manors in England, where the term originated.

Definition, per Google: "a large country house with lands; the principal house of a landed estate".

It is a large house with a lot of land, but the term has no link to the South (antebellum or otherwise).
