Thank you to my Ancestors for all they did to make America beautiful even when Life wasn't good for them!! You're Welcome America!!! I look at this with pride and pain!!
😢 exactly 💯💯
I never understood getting married at a plantation. I mean, the awful, bloody, and disturbingly savage history of lost lives and such pain… I just couldn’t.
I agree with your comment about keeping and showing history. People need to see the good, the bad and the ugly of history. Unfortunately many will never learn from this.
And others will try to drown people in history and shame them for it. It's sad.
No not really this was a past that they are not being honest about some of those blacks did not lay down and be submissive some actually killed and fought back but they not telling that so if history is going to sugar coat the truth like they did the bible they can keep that
What was the good?
Beautiful for some and horrible for others. 😢 Absolutely needs to be remembered. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! Horrible, and the fact that they have weddings where slaves were is terrible!
My family and I visited back in 2015 . We were able to tour the lower level on the house . Also, the Slave homes was mind blowing. What our ancestors when through in live. Thanks for sharing
This property was also a major part of the 1980's tv mini-series North and South. It was called Mont Royal.
I loved that series as a kid.
North & South was brilliant tv
Thanks for the memory. I remember watching that one as well as Grey and Blue (I think it was called)
Right on! It is such a beautiful place.
Yes, I remember that series.
If those walls could talk. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good point!
It’s so refreshing hearing someone say what you did “we need to preserve and keep history” it’s so important in learning from our mistakes, I have quite a few people in my family that are descendants of slaves. And they agree with this, I know one of my uncles who is black, played a big role in saving a plantation in Tennessee and preserving its slaves quarters
The porch ceiling is painted haint blue. Traditionally, it's believed that painting the porch ceiling a particular shade of blue will keep the 'haints' (ghosts, evil spirits) away. According to tradition, haints are afraid of water, and they want cross the haint blue porch ceilings 💙
Yes, a “Southern “ thing. 😊
Down here where I live, porch ceilings were traditionally painted blue to keep the wasps from building their nest so on the porch ceiling. They would “see” blue and not realize that there was a solid surface on which to build a nest.
✔️
@@avondalemama470no, it's also a pagan thing for some
@@katiesioux7757 Didn’t realize that, but the wasps thing makes sense.
I was there right after my dad passed in 2015. I took the full tour, inside & out. Saw every scene when they filmed The Notebook. The slave houses were interesting, the singing, etc. The greenhouses are awesome.
I highly recommend going to Sullivan's Island to check out the 200+ yr old Angel Tree, HUGE!
I visited this plantation as a young girl. The slave quarters still haunt me to this day!
Therapy?!!
The romanticized pain that happened there is probably what’s haunting you also 😢
@@adelaibrownI said the same thing.. I visited this plantation in Mt. Pleasant.. the entry way to the plantation felt heavy… The oldest tree gave me the feeling of weeping and tears.. As well as the Atlantic Ocean off South Carolina gave me the feeling of ancestors ending their lives.. Beautiful State but very very dark and evil past…
Now you all should know how Hoodoo came about. They were robbed of everything. SMH
If you haven't been, check out Middleton Place! I used to work there years ago. It's not too far from there! Part of The Patriot was filmed there.
I’m right down the road from Middleton. Definitely an awesome place to visit. Great recommendation.
Wish I had known about Middleton Place! I would have visited as "The Patriot" is one of my favorite American Revolutionary War movies.
I live near Savannah but Charleston is my favorite place to go and got married there. I’ve been to Middleton several times and have visited the other plantations in that area including Boone Hall. All of them are fascinating and beautiful!
All that exquisite beauty exists because of people that owned other human beings!
It’s a real shame that a lot of history has been destroyed so I’m so glad to see the ones that survived. Gr8 video as always
I love the South Carolina videos! So much awesome history. Love every vid you do. Lived in Mt. Pleasant. State law: live oaks that size cannot be cut down.
I've never been able to understand how people could be in favor of slavery other than they became greedy. To have so much materially, but to make other people do the work for it and treat them so badly if they didn't do everything exactly as you say. This beautiful home and slave quarters were most likely built by those abused, wonderful people. Thank you for the video. You're right. It's nice to look at, but has a dark past.
I always think of how much beauty these mistreated people created. These people were true artisans.
Most who see beauty didn’t have to suffer there.
Agreed 100% When I saw it, it instantly made me think of the people living in these small houses. How much pain and sorrow had they endured. Just wished people were kind and treated each other with respect. The outcome with have been so so much better.
You can't fathom because you're born 200+ years later. You weren't born into the time. You accept the things of now and people will probably say the same of you in 200 years. I wouldn't say everyone on either side was wonderful. There were slaves that did all the right things and got some power in their own rights and abused their fellow slaves, but you'd say they were slaves and should be forgiven. Slavery is a thorny subject and still exists in portions of the world. It also persisted and existed before in Africa long before the Europeans took slaves to the Americas. The Arabs did it long beforehand. Westerners are just taught how evil American slavery was while turning the blind eye to every other race, nationality, etc doing it. No race is clean when it comes to slavery. No nation is clean. How you think Europeans got slaves without dying in masses to diseases? Tribes enslaved and sold other tribes.
@@davidfence6939Very good comment. Spot on. People only believe TV programming and what little bit of very skewed stuff they memorize in government school. They need to READ old books and real history.
The Live Oaks draped in Spanish Moss lining the drive are beautiful.
Very dark history . A sad time in Americas history.
Thank you, Chris! I so appreciate your thinking and in fact what you are doing to keep history in front of us. If we forget or deny our history we are indeed doomed to repeat it.
North n South was my first series that watched as a teenager. Loved it!!
My 2nd wife was fascinated with "The Notebook" so I surprised her by asking her to marry me inside the foyer of that house.
How exciting!!
Aww, how sweet! 💞
A plantation???
Cool❤
... Where's the location of your fourth proposal?
Thank you Chris. I was born in Charleston 71 years ago. It is really beautiful. The traffic has become horrible and the heat is almost unbearable. I'm seriously thinking of moving to Tennessee soon but will always love Charleston. Thank you.❤
I live in Charleston, SC and I love taking friends to Boone hall..I wasn't aware that the carnival scene was filmed in the back yard at Boone Hall until recently.. There has been at least 3 of my favorite movies filmed there such as The North and South with Patrick Swayze and Queen starring Haily Berry.. Awesome video thank you for sharing
Thanks for taking us to a place I would never see otherwise. Those wavy walls were really cool, I've never seen anything like those.
That driveway is breathtaking. I’ll never forget it.
Yes while beautiful also dark. Hanks are definitely here!
These are Beautiful Gardens. Thank you for sharing this tour with us. 🌺
That's such a beautiful place. It makes me happy to see history being kept alive. Very cool Chris.
That is a disgusting place to me. I don’t know why black Americans go there. I would not waste my money that I make to support a place like this
Beautiful place to u, killer
Beautiful place to u but not for me. Killer
Took a tour of Boone Hall over 25 years ago, tour guide told us they had baby bones under the floor boards of the slave cabins. It was also known for being a pecan farm for many years .
Wow…. I wonder why baby bones were noted under the “floor boards” yet another comment stated that these slave cabins were originally all dirt floors….. Crazy how history gets told in different ways….
What a treat Chris! Thank yoU I love stuff like this. You are so good at this. Most appreciated.
If you've never seen QUEEN watch it Its amazing
What an amazing and beautiful place. It is an incredibly well-preserved piece of history. I cannot imagine either living as a wealthy plantation owner or one of the people they kept as slaves, but it's so important to preserve these places that we never forget what took place here.
I visited there a few years back, neat place, interesting tour. Worth a visit.
Such a beautiful place. Those serpentine walls were common there and in parts of Virginia. Awesome videography.
Thanks for taking us on the tour, Chris
Stunning gardens beautiful house and lots of history. Our kind of place.
Thanks Chris. What a beautiful place. And history is important, good and bad.
The trees in the opening scene! Thank you Chris!
Thanks Chris! I like the old history of America it is so interesting and good that you can visit these places and show us here on RUclips.
Loved going there many years ago. I remember “Mont Royal” from the “North and South” mini-series. Fun fact: Across the street is Charles Pinckney’s house. For those who may not know who he was, he fought in the Revolutionary War, was a Founding Father of the nation, helped draft the Constitution, and was one of the signers. Of course, he was also a major slave holder as was the norm for agricultural land owners in that area during that time, so you decide if his house is worth your visit.
Great video. My wife and I visit this place every time we go to Charleston, and we both love it. I've always heard that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively got married at Boone Hall at the small venue by the water which is to the left before coming up to the slave cabins.
Thank you for going there and sharing your video.
My sister and i absolutely loved our trip to boone hall plantation several years ago
Queen (Halle Berry) and North and South (Patrick Swayze) were great movies!
Beautiful place.
Gorgeous! Thanks for the tour!
Wow!! I learned that they tore down the original plantation and built the brick on in 1936. Also, the Boon family didn’t build most of what you see now. They were the original land owners starting in 1681 and sold it in 1811.
as soon as i saw it i asked my self - this looks like the same house in "Queen " and yup i was right !
Great video, but it absolutely breaks my heart to think about how my Black ancestors had to live in such brutal bondage at places like this, and how people actually celebrate these places and go as far as to have their weddings at them. I mean, if Auschwitz was beautiful, would we want to host weddings there? So incentive. It’s just crazy to me.
that’s a very good point.
No comparison. Not at all. Complete hyperbole. Stop the treasonous libel making US seem so evil.
Had they not come to America, they could have ended up as slaves in other parts of the world such as Muslim tribes which kept slavery alive much longer than the USA and their descendants would not be here until the USA now. Perhaps what some meant as evil, God meant for good.
Thanks for taking us along. Blessings from Michigan.
Mt Royal! I love this place from North and South
Its beautiful there ❤ thank you for sharing with us all from Virginia
This place is so interesting,the gardens are beautiful!The history is fascinating !Thank you!
Thank you, Chris! ❤
Interesting and informative. Thank you. From Cape Town.
Wow I love the Beautiful colorful bottles.
I didn’t like how u said “it’s really different now?! 😮
I just said the same thing. It pisses me off. It's a way to make it seem like it wasn't that bad or to minimize it.
Though Gone With the Wind was not filmed there, the tree lined driveway was the inspiration for 12 Oaks Plantation (home of Ashley Wilkes).
I drove there two years ago, because I felt it illogical to talk about slavery yet not connect with it. It was the best experience I had. I recommend it for everyone.
Fairly certain majority if not all the bricks for Fort Sumter were made there, too.
I visited there in 1996 and the slave cabins had dirt floors and very little furnishings. The guide told us that they always had dirt floors. They were pitiful looking
Sad that they didn’t leave these homes as they were actually lived in! That’s “true” history….
@@thesun-N-moon8885amen, 100% agreed!
@@thesun-N-moon8885100% agree with you!!
My family toured it about 50 yrs ago. Was amazing.
If you forget history you will repeat history
The mini series North and South and Queen was also filmed at the plantation.
I visited this plantation and it was so overwhelming for me 😢
Ty. Great video. I enjoyed it.
Don't forget North and South on ABC back in 1985 with Patrick Swayze.
Loved North and South with the late great Patrick Swayze
The North/South was filmed there also and it's an amazing place to visit.
People were probably hung from that old tree.
That place looks ugly to be because of the immorality that built it.
The way he mimics Rachel McAdams “it’s over”😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome video!
We visited before the cotton gin building was finished. It’s a really nice plantation to visit. It was just too hot that day to wander the estate grounds.
Everyone heard of north and south mini series on tv it was awesome to watch.
You do so well at capturing a story. Definitely meant to be a RUclipsr! I’ve ran out of old videos to watch though!
Absolutely magnificent Chris!! Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful.
That conservatory area is beautiful, and of course I'd fill it with orchids. 😅
This plantation is on my list of places to see.
Had my picture taken in the hollow of the 500 year old tree twenty years ago!
This isn’t the original plantation home it’s been remodeled. Yes the movie Queen and the Notebook were filmed there
Apparently Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds had their wedding at this property and about a year ago claimed to the media that they didn't know the history of this place. Martha Stewart was in charge of their wedding and that lady knows everything about everything. There is no way these people didn't know the history of this property. Why lie? Beautiful grounds, beautiful home, but very sad and dark history. I would not want to live near a property of this kind. No amount of prayer can cleanse a place as dark as these slave operated plantations.
And I wouldn’t have a wedding at a plantation.
Thank Chris show new video
The brick slave houses were for the "house slaves ". The field worker's living conditions were so deplorable that they are long lost and eroded away. I can't believe that people would choose the site of such cruel history to celebrate their wedding. This whole tour was farcical! I am a white Canadian woman, and visited Boone Hall many years ago, before I was educated about the reality of life in the South. You need to teach your children the whole truth about your country's back story. Maybe they will be better people for it.
Hello Chris ✌️😊
They didn’t have the huge flower beds on the side of the road long time ago when we were there. Added a lot of things.
My ancestors were there 😢
I’m so sorry
Wow! Mon royal from north and south 😀
ROOTS...is FICTION! The author even said so.
Totally cool oak trees! 😍
North & South please watch it. For some reason I believe you'll love it. Patrick Swayze ❤
The 500 year old tree what we call a widow maker. You can never tell when it will fall down (and hurt or kill you!)
Good stuff. I just returned from there recently. Just posted my version of Boone Hall today and Bonaventure Cemetery. I wish I had the nerve to narrate. Subbed!
I have been here absolutely love this area
We have walls like the one you showed us in the U.K. called crinkle crankle walls.
Boone Hall is where the mini-TV series, ":North and South" was filmed. I visited the plantation about 7 years ago. The arbors were not in the front lawn. It is a beautiful place. I ended up with poison oak on my hand when I grabbed some of the moss.
Beautiful place 😍
The slave quarters are a lot nicer than what my family and other families grew up in down south and they are white. My mother said that one winter all 11 of them slept in a tent and it was warmer than the house because the house had so many holes in it. her family worked the farm in exchange for a place to live.
Was your family and other members free or were they held captive against their will? I suppose you think the slaves were happy because the places where they were held against their will and worked from sun up to sun down was made of brick. I swear you people are unbelievable.
@@latress2871exactly. Did you ancestors get branded with a hot meta iron on their skin to show OWNERSHIP? Did the people her ancestors work for take their babies and sell them to the highest bidder? Did they beat and whip her ancestors when they disobeyed? Rather yet, did they torture and remove limbs or murder them when they disobeyed? I would love to know.
Queen ❤
Thanks for the vid… I would never pay to visit any plantation
I would never have a party or wedding here.
My thoughts exactly! Disturbing!
Thanks for showing. i feel nothing but pain and death looking at this nothing buetiful about this place the hell the people endored . The energy is still there the spirts can't rest being disturbed
