The house facing the river was at one time considered the main entrance, because most people would travel by boat from Charleston. Some of the Draytons are buried in Flat Rock, NC where they used to spend their summers.
L0l these comments really make me laugh to be honest how sensitive people are nowadays just tell the history without your emotions and feelings involved though ight no victim hood mentality and all of that
@@MeCaveManStrongit’s always going to be emotions when talking about enslaved people it’s called being human. Sounds like you have a problem with that.
@@swannoir7949 they are not "promotions" of that way of life! They are part of history and a way of life that is gone. No one wants it back but it's fascinating to think and see how people lived.

Certain groups push for everyone to forget about the famlies destroyed and men cut down fighting for freedom of all people and ending slavery! No one is promoting slavery and that life!

Focusing on the architecture of the plantation and the luxurious life of the slave owners/thieves also promotes the way of life meantimes above. Idk how people that visit these places don’t feel like they’re visiting torture houses.
Tony, I visited Dreyton Hall in the early 90's, fell in love with this place, loved the fact that it was basically unrestored. Original buttermilk paint, children's height measurement lines in the pantry, newel staircase posts union soldiers used for building a fire, the doctor there feigned a breakout of some disease, so they didn't really take over the house. You added more info I didn't get at the time, so thankyou so much. It was a pleasure to revisit this wonderful house again!!
I want to add that it's still full of history and well worth the effort to visit. I just enjoyed going there a lot when it was more of a home and less of a museum...
I used to go there for oyster roasts when I was a young woman. I returned as a tourist about 20 years ago. Certainly isn't the same. So thrilled I got to go there when it was private. It's restoration has changed it tremendously to me.
Thank you Tony! You're always respectful of history. We appreciate you and what you do to bring these places to those of us that can't get out to see them.
I like your video. Also, I like your point that only a few lived like that, most were poor. Same thing today, some are flilthy rich while most work hard for what they have.
You are so right about the way most folks lived back then. My great grandfather 1st home a log cabin with a dirt floor was standing beside his larger house until I was a teenager. Someone burned it but it only had a dirt floor
Those flankers were for guests...people came from all over the county to parties at the house and needed a place to stay the night before heading back home the next day...no doubt! Remember Gone With The Wind and the party at 12 Oaks!
It's gone now, but I remember my uncle taking me to an old abandoned plantation house just outside of Sumter....I remember shackles in the basement.... The place is a subdivision now....Emerald Lakes subdivision.
@jameswoodruff9416 MY husband Frank, (whose RUclips acct I post on) had an aunt who lived in Orangeburg in an old plantation house. She and her husband redone it basically saving it, it had shackles also! I am sure there is more than one old plantation in Orangeburg, but it did make me wonder if it could be the same house! Patricia Gambino Harrington
Our great great aunt had a large plantation house. She was a widow and worked for a large corporation as well as managed the cotton fields. God bless our aunt 🙏🙏
Wow . I would never quess that I you would see my video. It is an honor. I have actually slept on the ground at Woodfield Inn in Flat Rock where a lot of low country people spent the summers. Thanks again for watching
Thank you for this video! South Carolina Lowcountry and Coast is one of my favorite places to visit! Our landscape and history in the Upstate is much different but beautiful, also. Drayton Hall is one of my favorites to visit. Keep videoing! God bless!
Great video tour! We are heading to Charleston this summer and didn't know about this place until I stumbled across your video! We are definitely heading there now - thank you!
Thank you for showing this! The back of the house has paving like the Queens house in Greenwich, England, and the lawn looks a lot like that lawn too! History is so important and you were very respectful while educating us
I went to boone hall plantation in the late 60s. Had the carriage in the carriage house then. Was totally vacant. You could look around at your leasure.
So very enjoyable! Thank you Tony. You brought a lot of informative information and thoughtful comments. Can't imagine the privy getting much use by the family. So distant from the house & in bad weather. I mean, think of the ladies in their voluminous gowns and petticoats splaying out to the holes on each side of her. I expect the men found it much more convenient and the ladies may have used the chamber-pot indoors. Still rather uncomfortable and inconvenient. I agree, why do they close off the "best" parts? I could go on and on and would imagine you have so much to say about your travels and discoveries. Take care and thanks again.
My husband and I visited Drayton Hall. It must have been magnificent in it's prime. We walked the Black cemetery while there. It made us sad that it was hard to discern where many graves were.
Hi love your vid! Do you know if the Drayton family had ties to the village of Drayton and Drayton Hall in Northamptonshire in the UK at all? That would be quite interesting! Love seeing these beautiful houses and learning both the good and bad bits of the history! Much love from Nottingham UK 🇬🇧 love your accent btw! ❤️
Flankers were likely kitchens, which were usually separated from the main house because of the risk of fire. Kitchens were brought to make houses in later renovations.
Wonder if those windows bricked up or where the breezeway came in from the outhouse is totally awesome job as always what a beautiful piece of property would hate to have to cut the grass LOL hope you have a great week my man
Those were not bricked-up windows. That bricked up area was once where a false door was. Symmetry was important in 18th-century homes,so they would put a second door up for show.
You know I often wonder what people a hundred years from now will be doing and saying about us. Maybe one of your great grandchildren will videoing or what ever it is they do a hundred years from now and he maybe showing some of what is going in now or guessing what things were used for. Great video Tony stay safe
Thank you for subscribing. If I can ask what drove you to my channel. I am always trying to improve. The Drayton Hall has gained a lot of traction in the last few weeks. I have other plantation videos that have not done as well. Thanks for your input
I was actually wondering how they would have kept all that grass cut.🤔....My ancestors were dirt poor also. Some being Indians and some Irish and Some even thought to come over on the Mayflower. My Grandmaws maiden name was Hopkins. There was a man trying to make the connection, but he passed on before he could.
Nice looking place but have to admit I'm disappointed the house is not livable. Don't understand why the family doesn't have it repaired and brought back to livable standards. I'd want to live in it myself.
This is my family’s treasure…it is superb. One thing for everyone to remember though is ALL of these plantations were built on the backs of slaves! All of them. I have completed my ancestry and had to find some kind of peace with this…the very ugly part of US southern history…the decedents of the Drayton's were mostly lovely prople…but their wealth and some of my incomes comes from this slave past… Will never been OK with this.
Thank you for you comment and watching. Most people fail to recognize that in the 19th century and prior slavery also in the North. True not a very pretty history. But it's what got us to where we are now and hopefully we learn and don't repeat our mistakes.
It is truly a shame that states get a hold of these places and do very little for maintenance, by the time it is to late to renovate the property it is gone. That's when the state wants to sell it. I would love to buy this before it is to far into disrepair.
Good video, but I'm appalled at the condition of the interior of the house. Yes, it would cost a fortune to restore however, Charleston County needs to make it a priority.
Good video guy 👍🏻....But many different people need to learn how to just tell the history of how it happened without feelings and emotions involved though
Many enslaved graves were marked with a fieldstone. You can see them on the video as you walk by. Also, one of the “flanker houses” may have been a kitchen in order to keep the main house cool.
I saw one time where it was around 30% of the people in the South owned slaves. That figure went down to 10% when it came to people who owned 10 or more slaves. Slaves were expensive not the cheap labor so many promote as being true today.
I liked your video very much. I'm fascinated with southern history. But I am worried about YOU. Based on your breathing, please get checked by a doctor.
Tell places like that that you are doing a you tube channel with lots of subs ok. ?? They ll probably love the free PR anyway and show you cool things roped off. I think about future archae9logusts as well. in a throudlsand years would they think we worshiped barbie bc we have so manymm
I appreciate you watching. However is it necessary for you to correct my speach or how I pronounce a word. There are far too many people in this world that live for a chance to catch someone making a mistake so they can feel superior.
Zechariah 11:5 KJV whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not. Isaiah 14:21-22 KJV Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
This is just my opinion on what the Flanker Houses were used for. Maybe the reason there are currently no Slave Houses on the property is that the Flanker Houses WERE the Slave Houses. Maybe the guy did not have very many slaves and maybe he was one of the ones that was actually "Good" to his slaves. Maybe to the point that he even allowed his slaves to have a little bit of luxury.
@@rashadadams2 a lot of places didn't have good things happen! Look at concentration camps. They are not glorified but they are open for tourists, a lot of media made there. It's historical even with its horrific history. If we ignored or didn't talk about the places where bad things happened we cannot learn from it. (And could repeat the mistake) I think we repeat mistakes no matter what but these places are reminders of what not to do and allows victims to be remembered. I have wondered about plantations and tours, I came to believe they are good. One, the architecture is amazing, it's a way of life that is gone and won't ever be repeated, and it's a reminder that slavery existed and to remember those that were subjected to that atrocious practice. It also shows us how far we have come. The battlefields of the civil war where over half the male population died in America. That war was brutal and those fields let us remember those fallen, and all the men who gave there lives ending slavery! People want to say thats not what war was about. Yes it was, please do not disrespect the men who died fighting so slavery would end in America! Freed slaves came up with money and erected a statue as a Thank you to Abraham Lincoln for freeing the slaves. I think the slaves know what the war and Lincoln were about and they loved Lincoln and morned his death, which he was murdered because he ended slavery! This is why ripping down statues and destroying historical sites isn't good! People today attempt to change history, but when you have a statue paid for and erected by freed slaves, it's hard to change the fact that the Civil War was fought to end slavery and thousands died fighting for that freedom! I dont think advertising, talking about, or other stuff about these places glorify them, it brings awareness to them and there existence.
@@rashadadams2 All history must preserved, good and bad. This place is not only a reminder of slavery but the thousands who died to end it. Slavery is a horrible part of every race's history. More white people have been enslaved than blacks. Do you feel the same way about Muslims as you do about this place? Do you blame them the same way? No one alive today is to blame for what happened more than 159 years ago. The Islamic slave trade in Africa started more than 400 years before the first European white slave traders bought their black slaves. It was a Muslim slave trader who captured the Africans and sold them. Muslims also castrated all the black slaves that went the Islams Arab route. Did you know that? They did this for two reasons, they could not have intercourse with Arab women and so they could not reproduce. The very word for black people in Arabic is Abeed, which means slave. The word slave was originally for white European Slavic people. History, all history, needs to be taught. Not to teach hate, but to teach of humanity's mistakes so we don't repeat them. There are more slaves in today's world than at any time in recorded history. Perhaps we should concentrate on helping them instead of living in an American past that does not exist anymore.
I am sure you have people in your families history who have committed crimes, should you stand trail now and pay fines for all the crimes they committed? Why? Do the Muslims pay too? What about the black Africans who sold their fellow countrymen, do they pay too? What about the thousands of whites enslaved by Barbery coast pirates, do we get paid too? What about the millions of white people who have been enslaved throughout history? Who pays all of us? What about the thousands of white people who died to free the slaves from the Democrats? Are their families getting paid for their sacrifices? Slavery is horrible, there is no doubt about that. Sadly slavery has been around since before recorded history. More white people have been enslaved than any other race throughout history. Why don't you put your hand back in your pocket and teach about how the US fought against slavery? Many states in the US began to fight against and even abolish slavery soon after we became a nation. Vermont abolished slavery in 1777 before it joined the United States as the 14th state in 1791. Pennsylvania abolished slavery in 1780. Massachusetts abolished slavery by judicial decree in 1783.
Your wrong a lot of freedom slaves were given property! Some were given plantations! Obviously you never researched it, you went off lies that are told!

Amazing how the same family has own that house..
Those are called 'Whistle Walks' that joined the outdoor kitchen buildings with the main house.
You are so right about the way most folks lived back then. My great grandfather 1st home a log cabin with a dirt floor was standing beside his larger house until I was a teenager. Someone burned it but it only had a dirt floor
the flank buildings were usually the kitchen for the home.
The privy was everything!!!
Those flankers were for guests...people came from all over the county to parties at the house and needed a place to stay the night before heading back home the next day...no doubt! Remember Gone With The Wind and the party at 12 Oaks!
Could have been the kitchens. They were often in a separate building to keep the heat down in main house. Also safer in case of kitchen fires.
It's gone now, but I remember my uncle taking me to an old abandoned plantation house just outside of Sumter....I remember shackles in the basement.... The place is a subdivision now....Emerald Lakes subdivision.
There is a large white plantation house near Orangeburg that has shackles still hanging from the beams in the cellar
So Sad It Went Away.
Oh my so sad :(

Thanks!
I know where a cellar is in the woods , the ruins of Riverside, that I recovered dozens of 250 year old french wine bottles.
Kitchens were frequently built away n unattached from house so maybe one of the buildings was kitchen.
They were

Freed slaves came up with money and erected a statue as a Thank you to Abraham Lincoln for freeing the slaves. I think the slaves know what the war and Lincoln were about and they loved Lincoln and morned his death, which he was murdered because he ended slavery! This is why ripping down statues and destroying historical sites isn't good! People today attempt to change history, but when you have a statue paid for and erected by freed slaves, it's hard to change the fact that the Civil War was fought to end slavery and thousands died fighting for that freedom! I dont think advertising, talking about, or other stuff about these places glorify them, it brings awareness to them and there existence.
@@rashadadams2 All history must preserved, good and bad. This place is not only a reminder of slavery but the thousands who died to end it. Slavery is a horrible part of every race's history. More white people have been enslaved than blacks. Do you feel the same way about Muslims as you do about this place? Do you blame them the same way? No one alive today is to blame for what happened more than 159 years ago. The Islamic slave trade in Africa started more than 400 years before the first European white slave traders bought their black slaves. It was a Muslim slave trader who captured the Africans and sold them. Muslims also castrated all the black slaves that went the Islams Arab route. Did you know that? They did this for two reasons, they could not have intercourse with Arab women and so they could not reproduce. The very word for black people in Arabic is Abeed, which means slave. The word slave was originally for white European Slavic people. History, all history, needs to be taught. Not to teach hate, but to teach of humanity's mistakes so we don't repeat them. There are more slaves in today's world than at any time in recorded history. Perhaps we should concentrate on helping them instead of living in an American past that does not exist anymore.
Young girls. Young boys and babies. Raped and murdered. I can't imagine the atrocities that😮 happened there. I can hear their
screams.
You need some oxygen
the owner was not an aristocrat he was a jew
Every single penny the plantation makes should go to the descendents of Chattel Slavery...
I am sure you have people in your families history who have committed crimes, should you stand trail now and pay fines for all the crimes they committed? Why? Do the Muslims pay too? What about the black Africans who sold their fellow countrymen, do they pay too? What about the thousands of whites enslaved by Barbery coast pirates, do we get paid too? What about the millions of white people who have been enslaved throughout history? Who pays all of us? What about the thousands of white people who died to free the slaves from the Democrats? Are their families getting paid for their sacrifices? Slavery is horrible, there is no doubt about that. Sadly slavery has been around since before recorded history. More white people have been enslaved than any other race throughout history. Why don't you put your hand back in your pocket and teach about how the US fought against slavery? Many states in the US began to fight against and even abolish slavery soon after we became a nation. Vermont abolished slavery in 1777 before it joined the United States as the 14th state in 1791.
Pennsylvania abolished slavery in 1780.
Massachusetts abolished slavery by judicial decree in 1783.
I was born there in a kitchen
Really. That's amazing
Ashamed. Always taking, never sharing (not even a stipend for the ancestor's children). Sad in 2020. Enough already. Disrespectful.
