How disgusting some people are.. RIP to those who died horribly...
Hey, just wanted to say, across all your channels you guys do such a great job of portraying events and information, keep up the good work on the new channel, there honestly can’t be too much history to showcase!
If not already done, could you consider having a look at the St. Nazarie Raid? It’s an often forgotten, usual but amazing story from ww2.
BONUS FACT: Nicolas Cage owned this mansion for a time.
Amazing.
Love this new channel....I watch all your channels...great content...keep up the good work
Simon and crew please please make a video tomorrow about the day with no news in 1930. I know it'd be an awesome funny video.
Kinda like seinfeld i guess. A youtube video about the day nothing happened? I know simon is bald but can he be kramer? I'd like to see his entrance
I absolutely love this channel it's my "quick fix" channel on days I don't have time for a top Tenz or Biographics video until later in the evening!
This story paints an interesting social attitude towards slaves at the time. I've been led to believe that people wouldn't care about what you did to your own slaves, but to actually create a mob to exact revenge for their torture is, to me, surprising. But I suppose attitudes changed over time from outright barbaric to a level of great caring. It's interesting.
Good programme all round.
As I understand it, the legal status of slaves in New Orleans proper differed from elsewhere, in the "Code Noir" --- not quite as bad as later in the US South, e.g., families couldn't be broken up on sale, and also, free people of color had (at least in theory) equal rights to other colonial subject.
@@BlackfeatherTanfur didn't know this either, that is fascinating.
Makes sense though. They were bad but not THAT bad. Slapping a slave is completely different than hanging em and leaving them to die.
Well, "a level of great caring" is not at all accurate, but I understand why that element of the story is surprising. DeJon Tellis-Oliver gives the most likely reason for the crowd's outrage.
I guess they were viewed more as animals than as object, and by that I mean Many people thought even they didn’t deserve torture
In the third season on American Horror Story, Delphine was cursed by a voodoo woman to live forever, she was then buried alive until the 2010’s when the characters from the show discovered her
Great new channel, Simon. I love the short format, perfect for when I want "just one more, plz?!" video, but it's too late to watch a Biographics or Today I found out.
Keep these coming, please!
Another great channel to watch thanks Simon . Very interesting stuff .
love the video I have been waiting since ahs for you to make one like this thank you!
Love this channel, its one of my favorites!!
I tried to watch another channels video ab her, but they spoke so fkn slow, yours is concise and informative. Thank you for that. It has and always will be absurd to abuse others bc of their skin color. Nobody chooses how they're born. Its despicable.
You have so much content!! Love it!!
Wonderful Simon and crew. You are the best in the Business. Thank you.
This is a great new channel added to two other great channels... good video! Thanks folks!
Love the new channel!
Loving your new chanel and all the rest! I could listen to you all day 😘 wait... I do 🤗
I love all your channels.
Quick & juicy! Sad story, never had heard of it. Well done.
Hi Simon and Crew, this was my first video of the new channel.
Thrilled you have a new channel, and I love all your content. I don't know when you find time to Sleep???
But thank you for your hard work and always having something on here interesting.
I visited this mansion 2 years ago. It was surreal. Such a fascinating story.
Love this channel.
I like this new channel because it's quick and to the point.
Love your channels
From a long time subscriber,kinda dropped the ball on this one good buddy, merry Christmas
I really like the new channel it's quick and to the point
Glad you’re enjoying it :)
Pretty dark but interesting good work y'all
As a Resident of New Orleans French Quarter, The LaLaurie his is only 1 block down from my townhouse! and yes, I know it's history well! That Cage actor fellow who was married to Elvis Presley's daughter bought it several years before loosing it for back taxes! Now Madam LaLaurie, was a Sadistic woman in those days, a BRUTAL WOMAN History tells! But sometimes, i must wonder, if this Brutal Woman lived today! and Had a PHD from some Liberal University, would her crimes still be TORTURE!? or just RESEARCH ??????
I pass that location almost every day
I like this channel!
Awesome sauce.
I'm a simple man... i see Simon, i upvote
Crazy that I've never heard that story and I grew up in the New Orleans area and heard so many other New Orleans historical stories so often
Fantastic video. Hey wanted to ask if it still holds true that you publish the video on the day the event happened or just a big part of it. If it is still true which event happened on April 17?
Edit: I quickly went through the video myself and saw that the day the fire started was April 10. Still, want to know however if this is just a coincidence or you are doing it on purpose
what is the opening music?
I love the chair, I'd love to see biographics done this way since you have to remain seated for so long I'm sure it's more comfortable for you.
My hometown is New Orleans and never knew the story. Big fan of mega projects.
What is with all these men dying and women remarrying over and over in these videos?
The "Black Widow Syndrome" in effect. ;-)
"Back then-nish" people died all the time, including spouses. So unless a widower or a widow remarries, chances are s/hes gonna stay single. A financial risk, even more so if one has children.
It was generally the practice for older established men to have a much younger wife. Her family was often complicit - ensuring she would be looked after, produce heirs for her husband, dowries were also sometimes involved. The majority of young women had no job skills as would know them today. The husband would almost always die first of natural causes due to the initial age differences, his widow still being relatively young to another older established man for security who would then also pass away. Wash, rinse, repeat until she's either a spinster or finally married for love or companionship.
Great video about a horrible subject
You should do a biographies video of her
Every time I think know of all Simon’s channels I stumble across another one I haven’t heard of
It was surreal when Simon said "knocked up." Hehe. I suppose it's because he generally seems very restrained in his employ of the English language.
DelFiend!!! Sorry, just slipped out. What a monster she was!! And to have her own family buy them back just so she could torture them some more?!?! Disgusting!!!
Discount the doctor's participation? I think not!
Simon has somehow found a way to appear in every 7th video I click on.
WOW
So in the end, she got away with it?! Damnit!
I went 2 years ago to see this house it's still there and it's verry beautiful. Smells like hobo piss but still a great place of history
Yeah well, that’s the entire French Quarter. Beautiful, rich in history and architecture, a world class cuisine and nightlife, with the food and musical styles unique to that city, annnnd an omnipotent stink in the air, emanating from the gutters, especially so on the hottest and most humid of days! Such charm!👃🏼🤭🤢 😆
She sounds like a black widow, that found her soul mate in that doctor. There no way he didn't know if it was her, but i would put money on he was experimenting. Doctors have been some of the most evil people to ever live.
What happened to her children; were they taken away or did they go with her to Paris?
hit or miss huh
Simon is Simon, is Simon.
And it is funny how many try to replicate.
I walked by this house during a ghost tour in Louisiana.
Simon, did you say, "Eugene B. Lovable"?
How'd you get 1775? It reads out 1787, now I'm lost.
Really is something to know that people did care about a slave's well being to a point.
Not out of generosity but out of profit
I once ate a house of horrors
Hah, apparently "gov'm'nt can't tell me what to do on my own land!" is an excuse as ancient as man kind.
“That magic box lies”
You watched coven
Abdullah Abdullah FINALY someone got the reference lol
One criticism I would make is that the titles of the videos are not too atractives
well geez, thanks for making my walk to just a wee bit more unpleasant
What, no pipe and robe to go with that leather armchair?
lol take a breath guy lol
Why does Simon have a human skull in his bookcase? 🤤
She freed two older slaves because she didnt want to take care of them
The neighbors knew? This is a terrible story #BooBooBoo O:)
Interesting that it was pinned on her, when her husband was a doctor. And prior to marriage the was no evidence that she was like that. Even freeing them. Puzzling, but doctors of that time period were always doing weird things.
Exactly my thoughts. Why did everyone assume that Delphine did the torturing? Maybe the victims said it was her, but video doesn't reveal it.
Sounds like she killed her husbands too
Long story short Sad fact what she did was 100% legal at that time
I think she killed her husbands too
Just over 2 minutes in and I'm so bored by the material that I'm here writing a random comment.
Come on! There is a bit of difference between an "emancipated slave" and an "emaciated slave"! I get the impression you do a lot of work writing the script, but then take no care to correct glaring mistakes like that.
I enjoy your work on Top Tenz but was baffled by the astonishingly poor quality of this video.
I get that the transition from reading lists to narrating stories is difficult. Perhaps someone like Dan Carlin (who is among the best narrators of historical accounts today) could be of some instructive inspiration.
In any case, best of luck!
So, she was a prototypical Feminist.
