I went there for a visit. The trees were awesome. I remember them saying that animals ran through the house before they restored it. So happy they saved it.
No mention of those run down huts the slaves had to live on. Those mansions gives me chills just imaging what happened then. All that luxury for them and the slaves had dirt floors.
Oak Alley Plantation is one of Louisiana’s most well-known, and it has been used in many movies and TV programs. Watch the video to find out what some of them are.
The Wandering Wife the trees in front we’re planted 200 yrs. before house was built! Had mint julep very strong those southern girls were tough. LoL They put chains on the branches to make them lay on the ground. Looks like I had a better tour guide.
How could the grounds have been peaceful, when Devils were beating, rapping and killing other humans that they stole from the continent where all life began? My ancestors are calling me to go and I am. I will say a prayer for them. Watching your video has my blood boiling with the atrocities, of these evil colonizers! The slaves stayed because they were still being marginalized and Killed!
Anne Storey No, I don’t think plantations should be demolished. History should be persevered not sugar coated. I visited two plantations for my self this summer and my put my perspective in a YT video. I had to go and honor the adults and children that where murdered, and are still marginalized to this day. We have to know the past, to know why this country is in shambles today, largely due to racism and brainwashing. The enslaved people built that house at Oak Alley and created generational wealth through free and forced labor. They were left with genetic trauma and are still being Marginalized under the same code.
If only the trees could talk. She makes it sound like it was just beautiful and marvelous to be living in that era in that house . Yea for the salve masters. I’m not with the lies.
Tia B I don’t think there’s any denying that it was a marvelous and beautiful life for the owners, but If you watched the whole video, also showed the poor conditions that the slaves lived in. In my opinion, not preserving these places would be a mistake, as seeing them reminds us of a terrible past that we should not forget, lest we repeat it. It’s the same reason the concentration camps have been preserved all over Europe. I don’t know what you think are lies. I presented the truth as accurately as I could.
The Wandering Wife your hilarious you romanticized slavery that disgusting house was built by slaves for no pay only work and getting whipped by ruthless evil perverted mentally ill criminals !!! They stole their families their language everything and them them bitches had slaves nursing their young tell that story Tell how the slaves worked them beautiful gardens and that beautiful land tell that!!!!
@@kimedwards169 So if they they talk about slavery they are "romanticizing" it and if they didn't talk about it they would be "white washing" the history. Racists if they do and racist if they don't. STOP attacking the historians. You're attacking the messenger. They didn't create the history, they only tell it.
@@kimedwards169 The original owner of this land was Valcour Aime, a man regarded as a genius, and the Louis XVI of America. Hardly the ruthless psychopath you describe, but then again I doubt you even bothered to do any research before you started raving.
@@ednakelley814 it may not effect you that people were kidnapped and taken away from families Hey they are still doing it now it’s call trafficking . And you are probably a Christian Right.
Nothing about this now tourist attraction is stunning or beautiful remember when this plantation was being operated it looked nothing like this what we see now is the reconstructed version of what this place really looked like this is just a site now real people lived and worked and died here,nothing about that is awesome or stunning nor beautiful 😕

My dad was born in the south. Everybody down there, rich and poor slept on the upper porch when it got really hot.
Maria Shelly right!? She had a lot wrong.
I immediately wanted to say the same thing.
Clearly she doesn’t know what a sleeping porch is.
Those trees were still pretty small during the active plantation days lol!
This Plantation is in Vacherie, Louisiana, NOT New Orleans, not even on the outskirts, I live walking distance from here.
I should have clarified that is was a day trip FROM New Orleans by bus. Thank you for watching.
Those were not there when I visited long ago. They have also jazzed it up a lot.

You can't deny the oak alley with the house in the background is beautiful.

This filled me with so much rage and hate! Those grounds was hell for Africans!

Is there no tour guide?
There was a tour guide. Most prefer not to be on film.

Your music is way too happy for a place that kept people in bondage and tortured them. Beautiful trees though.
Deirdre Pasko omg I thought I was the only one. I agree.
Oh good grief. please
I agree. It was not exactly disneyland for black folks back than.

It was not peaceful. Plantations were not peaceful.

Your absolutely right! But i must say it's beautiful now however my ancestors were enslaved here and that's what makes is ugly
Not new orleans.
I should have specified that it was a paid bus tour FROM New Orleans. Thank you for watching.
