I am from Edgefield, serving in the US army 💜 1950 came back from serving as a black man could not eat in restaurants, this dam video doesn't care for
👍
Born and raised in Conway . Traced my family back 5 generations all in the same area . They fought in the revolutionary war and got the confederacy. It’s my history
I’m a SC native from Latta in Pee Dee. My Father was from Highlands, TX and his Grandfather work at Humble Oil & Refinery who paid for this production. He would have retired around the time this video was made. So glad I stumbled onto this.
I’m from Conway . Traced my ancestors back 5 generations to aynor and gallivants ferry area . They served in the CSA
My family are natives of Marion county. My mom said she swam in The lil Pee Dee river as a child . Such a shame all I heard was slavery , The government takeover of African Americans own lands , strange fruits and Jim Crow . My parents migrates to NYC because of those reasons. I don't think they remembers S.C. the same way in those days.
Proud of my ancestors in this video, If you look closely, you see whose hands are doing the work. whose providing success to this great state. You can talk down on us, but you cant erase the fact that you know who did the work. Look up the lake Murray dam construction in SC and see who built that.moved the railroad tracks by hand, died for this state. who help make progress possible. You can hate us all you want. but you cant take away the hard work that my people put in. I'm glad they post videos like this, it gives me the strength i need. it humbles me. I don't really know my history, but i do know i came from very hard working people. You can talk about entitlements, but i see no handouts in this video, all i see is hard work. and I'm not going back to Africa, my wealth is right here to gain in america that my people help create, and right here is were we get rich, or die trying! peace.
JOHN Sorry, but while unskilled labor is necessary, it can be done by anyone, unlike designing skyscrapers or programming satellites. You belong in your own society, with your own kind.
Forklift Abortion Wow. Great job to go out of your way to be hateful. South Carolina is the state of the working man always has been always will be. I don't know where you are from, but you sound like an arrogant son of a bitch. As a South Carolinian I believe we should respect all races who contribute to our society, not degrade them and bring South Carolina back to its previously racist history. SOUTH CAROLINA FOREVER!
IDK, what part of south Carolina your speaking of being racist, or at what point in history! South Carolina nor the C.S.A where ever "RACIST" as any person who can read will tell you! Yes we fought a war that was played against us as being over slaves, but to be honest I have seen just as many C.S.A graves of blacks, Mexicans, Indians, and Japanese as I have whites. Kind of hard to call some place racist when it had every race from around the glob defending it. I suggest you take a stroll though some of the C.S.A grave sites. I am sure seeing the names of those young men, will shine some light on the subject for you! As for me I am proud of South Carolinas and my families history in this state, and would never degrade either by calling it Racist!
Is that why y'all refuse to work today?
@@iHaveTheDocuments But according to your hero Trump, black unemployment is the lowest in history. Are you saying he's wrong? lol
Everybody in this video looks so healthy and strong and slim. No obese people. Vegetables and meat and bread were healthy then, no bromide in bread, steroids in meat and corn syrup in everything, and people actually moved around, walked everywhere, talked to each other, not behind a smartphone, and families and parishes and communities were stable. America was still manufacturing. You can thank the Frankfurt School/Cultural Marxist professors and teachers for the decline and the financial industry, Wall Street, AIPAC, money in politics, especially the privately-owned, for-profit, so-called "Federal Reserve Bank", which is neither federal nor does it have any reserves nor is it a bank. Great video. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.
Most people don't notice what you notice. I read somewhere that the food eaten today is so devoid of nutrition that people have to eat so much and that's the reason for the Obesity Epidemic.
Or "food"especially formulated to be addictive devoid of nutrition...
While what you said about quality of food (and most other modern products) is correct, the part regarding the financial and social degradation requires more nuance.
The financial industry has in fact grown since 1950 but the services it provides have been at a decline in quality
(I believe) due to the lack of regulation and competition. Most firms in the financial sector have had to merge with each other in order to stay alive and this has led to only a hand full of them to currently exist. Any firm that starts from scratch in the financial sector simply cannot compete with these large firms, this only incentivising the big firms to continue their bad practices. On another aspect, since these firms have become so 'big' they have great legislative influence in any territory they provide a service in (TBTF), this leading to even more loosening of regulation (as they can either bribe, or employ armies of lawyers to halt any bill).
About the point on healthy communities. What you have described can indeed be assigned to the use of the smartphone, but it is not the only (or most significant) factor. A large one has been (and in most places, continues to be) the proliferation of the personal automotive vehicle. One needs only to think logically that, by spending a majority of one's time in an enclosed space alone (such as in a car) while commuting to any place, he/she spends less time in a communal transit medium (where one could find an acquaintance or friend in by sheer coincidence, or could just converse with any random person), the latter promoting a healthy social environment as all of it's members must answer personally for any unacceptable social behaviour instead of rolling up one's windows or stepping on the accelerator pedal (as one does in a car).
This is what I believe to be a more accurate depiction of the degradation in society as was described in the comment.
I’m British but my girlfriend is from South Carolina. I’ve visit about 3 times a year and have fallen in love with this state. I love learning more about its history. Can’t wait to visit again in 3 weeks’ time! 🌙🌴
Here’s some more history, South Carolina had the biggest slave port producing 40% of the African slaves lynching rape and murder is the tremendous part of South Carolina’s history. Just about anywhere you go visit in South Carolina was built on that everywhere You walk your walking on the blood🩸of the black men women and children I was reading the comments, and most people didn’t even mention the elephant in the room, it kinda sucks even though there’s evidence in this video someone even said I wish it was still the 1950s lol I see videos like this and it’s heartbreaking other people see videos like this and think good times it just goes to show you people rather sweep things under the rock
I live in Seattle but I am originally from S.C. and was shocked to see the street and house I lived in during the late 60s and early 70s in the part about textile mills and housing for employees

Where in South Carolina are you from? I'm from and in Central.
That was great! Very nicely done! Wish they still did some things like that! Very charming! Thank you!
What a pleasure to find this flashback of times gone by. I was a student at Clemson College (now University) class of '53 when it was still an all male military school. I was particularly pleased to see the on campus segment showing the cadets. Also the segment on University of S C which shows a bit of the Clemson Senior Platoon drill team, referred to as a"fast pace" drill. at a "Big Thursday" football game. This film clip of the drill team is one of very few in existence and if it was filmed in 1953. I was there.
My grandparents lived in Columbia I grew up in Lexington still here 40 years I wouldn’t be surprised if my grandma was in the video In Columbia
I think the narrator of this film must have been the voice of half of the films that I watched in school back in the 1960s and 70s.
It is so sad how little agriculture and industry there is in the state now.
Right.. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Same in Hawaii.
By design.
It's interesting to see how much the state has changed since the 50's and how much is still the same.

Born and raised in Spartanburg, SC. !!! Southern and proud!! God Bless!!!🙏❤️
Thank you for sharing this. I find it really interesting from a historical perspective.
I was stationed just outside Columbia at Ft. Jackson in 1969 for training. We used to go downtown on Main St. and go to a GI coffee house called the UFO.
They should have never let "them" loose. Thank You L.B.J. and ALL you do-gooders!
As a person living here I would say it’s a pretty nice place
I plan to head to alcolu or manning, not sure how much it is to reside in SC.
I am mexican but i love columbia
I grew up in Horry county in south carolina, Conway, myrtle Beach & aynor in the fifties best first 13 yrs of my life when families meant something both black & white.
Martha Graham I lived in Conway for 6 months. I miss it.
Martha Graham bro I live in Myrtle it’s fun as hell when it’s off season
***born and raised***
Its nothing like this now but if you love the south the feelings that the old architecture give you will always be there
I live in Charleston, and it has changed.alot more tourist and traffic!! Downtown has basically stayed the same.
Looked like a charming place to live!
Charleston is nice, but growinng too fast!!
Beautiful. My husband is from South Carolina, and we live in California (my home state), but considering relocating to Rock Hill.
The only thing that bothered me about this video is there were no blacks anywhere; but what can I expect? It's the 1950s South.
Rock Hill would be a nice fit. It’s about 20-30 minutes away from Charlotte,NC. The county it self is steady growing and is going to be a boomer city soon.
@@darkwhisper98 yeah, we've done that drive. My husband's sister lives in Charlotte, so we settle on Rock Hill and will be relocating there in March.
They were featured in any segment involving hard labor. None to be seen when it came time to enjoy the beauty of the state (which is really beautiful).
Any place to live is better than California.
There are blacks everywhere. I grew up there. We were all friends.
golly, i love my home state, beautiful South Carolina. I love watching old documentaries about anything, and when i found this, i was more than delighted. I'm very different from most of my peers because i would do anything to be alive during those times. Carolina is my home and it always will be. I plan on going to college and getting a PhD, and working in a South Carolina college and teaching advanced placement history classes. I cant wait to graduate and live my dreams! thank you for uploading this.
Alonzo Jacobs no!! my dreams have changed, but my love for Carolina hasnt. & it never will. so nice try ;))
King Super nah man, I got blonde hair & blue eyes.
You're obviously white
Humble Oil did film's like this to help promote tourism. They did a good job. Man o manachivitz, there are some angry folks in this state and world. Nobody today is a slave. Nobody owns slaves. The only slavery that exists today is political slavery. Owned by the very political party that actually own😢ed slaves hundreds of years ago and filibusterd to keep schools segregated. I love South Carolina and it's history. You can't change history even though Mayor Wrecklenberg tried to.
It's so weird to see a bustling Graniteville... Nowadays it's called the "Valley" where druggies and criminals live especially after the Great Graniteville Train Disaster that shook Aiken, North Augusta and Graniteville itself
i love this!!
What a perfectly lovely film!
What's the name of the tune in the end of this Film a typical 50'song "South to Carolina"??
Georgetown here.! (Between Charleston & myrtle beach)My daddy built most of the houses & hotels on the strip & beach shore, of myrtle beach & pawleys island, after he got out of the service.

Thank you!
Whenever i look at this my mind goes hollywood seeing some movies of old, Cat on hot tin roof, the long hot summer both of Paul newman, big plantations, masive mansions nice hunky dory pristine life lots of land, kids playing visiting friends in their own mansions etc.
Watching this in 2021 in Charleston.Our skyline has changed quite abit..starting with the Ravenal Bridge. Im surprised this video did not mention College of Charleston..Just speaking from Charleston,tourist are our new "crop" now!!.. LOL
Cars looked so much better then
Have you seen the BMW I8?
Says noone. Lmao idiot
They looked bold and classy, and were built to last.
And they all had class.
.... and the roads were nearly *empty* , Did ya notice?
A bygone era...... how far we have come, and also how far *backwards* we have gone......
This is a completely different world, and not all for the "good" either. We just witnessed the lost age of innocence............
Mulberry’s original land owner not house was my 7th great grandfather John Edward drake
I'm Sadden by just how much Industry South Carolina has lost. This vid documented the post WW2 South Carolina and the economic boom it brought.
Interesting how he so smoothly skirts just who it was who really built those beautiful plantations and the wealth that lived within them. Almost raising them to glory even though he never says the word.
Chris Zacho of course they’re not going to mention that lol that would make this video non-family friendly
Our history, though not all good, makes us what we are today. Life is so much more wonderful when we learn to move forward and process instead of starting wars to correct the past.
rozzyfour Every race has poverty today. Many want to move forward but media and most liberal politicians want to draw the racism card when it’s everything but racism. The racist of today are media and politicians. It’s sad to see many people falling for their agendas and wanting to cause disruption and division.
rozzyfour If you want to find the racists, it’s the very ones calling people racist. With the same mouth they accuse people, they condemn themselves of the very thing they accuse others of being.
It was the white mans brains that made SC what it is.just like today your dumb ass is a slave and dont know it. Your so dumb.
I didn’t expect this comment section to be so toxic.

Didn't bring up the chain gangs on hwy 25
It's not a complete analysis of social and legal history , it's a quick overview of the architecture and 1950s industry.

Skip over the people in bondage who had to build this state from the ground up with their bare hands & make the white man look like he’s such a hard worker. That’s South Carolina for you smh
You and your ancestors built precious little. 'You' were told what to do. Dont get your panties in a wad because that's the way it was for most people ( whites). I'd be embarrassed to make stupid claims like that and expose my insecure and delusional inferiority complex. I think Democrats have made 'you' feel helpless and without confidence. Did you know more blacks had PhDs before the 60s than after civil rights movement?
why south Carolina can't go back to being beautiful like it used to be 🐗🐮🐰🐱🐶🐷😂🐥😂👍👍🏆🏆🏆

Back people were catching hell during this time in the jim crow era.
It’s crazy how he said the houses remind him of the “old plantain days” like it was nothing. Literally talking about slavery but it just rolled off the tongue
How in gods name do you come to that conclusion ??? The south is about more than slavery , it's a stain on its history for sure but you need to move on , slavery is no longer around at least not legally , it is in Africa though Libya and Mauritania openly practice it possibly most african countries Asia China etc but that never is talked about though
Just look at this as a glimpse of the past without bringing prejudice into it
Old plantation days were about alot more than slavery and WHITE INDENTURED SERVANTS. Get over it, you're keeping yourself and your people backwards by whining instead of working . It's called the slave mentality
I hate to tell you people, the north was also racist,Boston being one place that had many racial issues, nice stereotype of the south though,!
Why we so underrated like the Simpsons only insulted us once ;-;
Interesting view of SC. What about mentioning who was the labor force that picked the cotton and tobacco before the machines. Everyone workin there was white, except 3 people doing menial tasks. Sure hope we realized how we got so rich,
It look like a horror film, when you think about the black condition during that time. The beatings lynchings bombings etc.etc.
Whitewashed to perpetuate myriad myths
wow this video is is......I just cant..
I know exactly what you mean ...where would you even start. It's not worth it.
I am thinking the same thing, you don’t even have to say it!
When angry grandpa was a little boy from south Carolina
Black people represented somewhere just below 40% of the population in the early 1950s. You'd think the state was 95% white based on the film. This a prime example of the kind of racism Black people have had to overcome -- literally being left out of things. They were barely represented, and when they were, they weren't enjoying South Carolina's many recreational opportunities. They were picking cotton or doing other hard labor.
It's a real shame because it would have been so interesting to see footage of historical black colleges, Atlantic Beach and black neighborhoods, among other things.
Anyone who denies this wasn't racist as all get out has his or her head buried in the sand or somewhere else. That said, did anyone watching this HONESTLY believe a tourism promotion film in the early 1950s would delve into any of that? Of course not.
And really, almost anything from the '50s of this nature was a very much see no evil, speak no evil kind of thing. They tried to make the most mundane and tedious of things -- agricultural work, textile mill work, etc. -- in something on the borderline of being exciting and glamorous. Boring things were glorified a lot in the 1950s, and anything mainstream in the 1950s was very sugarcoated.
They also did the typical thing of looking almost exclusively at the Greenville, Columbia, Charleston and Myrtle Beach areas with a nod to Aiken and Camden. And Cheraw's tiny nod was a backhanded compliment.
Despite its significant shortcomings, it was a very interesting film to watch. It's amazing what has changed -- and what's very familiar still. I don't think you can judge it by 21st century standards and say it has no value. At the same time, I don't see how you can view this and conclude it isn't racist.
Of course.
So true I was there at that time, it was fine if you were white for black no no
@@JamesSmith-ih9vx / And it wasn't always so fine for white people either.
This isnt an analysis of the social structure of sc, its an overview of architecture and main STATE income means.

Simply amazing. All that talk of plantations and agriculture and not a mention of slavery. No thought for beneficial insects sprayed by crop dusters. The women's college taught Education, teaching being a respectable career for a woman, and Home Economics. Whenever I hear people talking about the Good Ole Days, I always think how they were only good if you were white and a male.
Thank goodness some of us have evolved a bit.

Lynchings were extremely race in the 1950s you Yankee. Do your research. Segregation was natural and even Segregationist during this period put large amount of funding into black schools. If anything blacks had better schools than they do now.

There was a time when the American media focused on the positive aspects of our culture. I can remember when black people and white people used to smile. I don't see that very much in our golden age of civil rights.

Most white people were benevolent and sane regarding their slaves. That would not be the case if the situation were reversed. While slavery has existed in all parts of the world, white people are the only ones moral enough to feel guilty about it. That's something white Christians should be proud of.
