This young lady is a good presentor. Ive watched many such tours, with presentors that were monotone and horribly boring. This gal is very relatable and fun. Good job!
Really enjoyed your video! It gives an interesting narrative of the plantation house history. I’m Canadian but have been drawn to the USA south since my teens when I worked in tobacco with folks from the Carolinas - Virginia and Georgia. They would journey north to work in our tobacco harvest after their own was done. I loved their drawls and became fascinated with their history. Also the Gone With the Wind books and movie captivated the interest of their readers and viewers. Thank you so much! Cheers! 🌸🌺🌺🌸
What a great tour! Thanks... I have one question. Since it was lived in to the 197O’s, were any rooms carpeted for the latest trends or did they leave the floors with rugs?
I'm also surprised by how spartan the interior of the home is. The plain walls and lack of detailing in the woodwork seems uncharacteristic of a large plantation house. Has it always been this unadorned?
I guess it depends on your background if you find slave plantations offensive or not. Being a descendant of both slaves and slave masters, what I see maybe very different, being that I am a product of the rape of my ancestors. I don't have any bad feelings toward the tour guide, I thought it was very interesting historical content and she did a good job. Although, it came off as slightly insensitive to me, but she may not have meant it in that way. From my perspective, as a black person, when she said the slave's fingerprint on the brick was "cool" that comes off as insensitive. I noticed that a lot of these tour guides on other videos try to make it seem like slavery either wasn't that bad or they say "cool" and "awesome" about something they find. They might want to use the word interesting instead. No matter how slaves were treated on the plantation, the bottom line is they were, considered not human only property, still being held CAPTIVE against their own will and most likely would have been killed, maimed, or sold off and separated from their families if they ran away. When I look at the "Big House" I see it as ugly not beautiful, as evil not good. When I see the trees, I wonder which tree limbs did certain slaves hang from. That is reality. I'm not sure, but I will assume that it might be the same feeling some Jews get when they see a Nazi concentration camp. Evil dwelt there no matter how some comments try to sugar coat it. The structures unfortunately have death and sin all over them from the blood that was shed. I think plantations are needed so that people will not repeat the evils of our past, but learn from it. I hope this perspective will help people that don't know the feeling of some people, to better understand it, so we all can come together through empathy and not apart. I'm just telling the truth, thank you.
Did you know that upon capture, slaves in africa were either buried alive as a sacrifice to the rain god, or they were castrated and allowed to work for a few years? Eventually the castrated slaves were also buried alive as a sacrifice when an important person like the chief's mother or top minister died. Slaves were also cannibalized in times of need.
As a very seasoned scholar on Southern history, much of what, if not all that we are taught about slavery in the South has been fabricated to the point of propaganda. The “people of servitude” were treated very kindly by the family often in the family photos. Mamma and mammy with the later being more loved by the children. They were often taken care of with pay and provisions and corporal punishment was non existent except in the cases of the corporations that had thousands of slaves. It wasn’t practiced as a norm. They were educated and often taught the family children as in the Jefferson Davis family. This is all accessible information in archives i.e. D.C. They don’t hide the truth they just don’t teach it to you. As Lincoln (another fabricated history) said, “ As long as there is one Southerner that remembers, the Union will never be secure.” That tells it all why we have been led to believe deceptive information.
Whether you like it or not, the plantations are a huge part of nations history. The point is not to obliterate it. The point is to LEARN from it and make better choices moving forward. These places allow us to step back in time and learn.
@@laurie4275 the plantation houses are huge negative and corrupt part of this nations history.. just like modern day politicians and the police in this country..else you are a black woman or a black man, you are looking from the outside looking in and don't even know what fuck you are talking about,
@@jamaldavis7795 but u see to believe what ever offends black men or black women should be banned......that you should have the final say in cancel culture
What good would that do other than destroy a central part of our countries history. Slavery was a vile and unfair practice but why should we destroy a piece of our history because many people were harmed? There's a reason we haven't destroyed the concentration camps either and i would say the practices they held there were much worse.
The ranger did a great job!!! She made the tour very entertaining. Gold starrrrrrr
Great tour guide. Informative and lively. Adding this plantation to my Bucket List.

Can you just imagine life back then!!!!!!!!!!!
Please have her do more tours!! She’s great! Love her sense of humor coming out a little bit lol

Thank u for taking your time and showing us this
It's always nice to get a little behind the scenes peek at things and place's we wouldn't normally see, thank you!
I appreciate the care you took while showing us the books. Thank you :-)
It wasn't so pleasent if you were a slave working ass to death for free on that piece of shit what needs is a tornado to sweep though that shit
Love, love, the library and Books.wow
Great video. She did a fantastic job.
I wish I had found this sooner. Amazing job by the tour guide!
Great job! Thank you for an interesting tour!
“I don’t know what happened to this poor fellow. 😐 We may never know.” *walks away* 😂😂😂
The Valeria bottle is not a opioid… it’s valerian root, it’s a herbal medicine. You can buy it still pretty much at any grocery market today.
Very good tour.
Thank you
Great tour
Don’t swing the ball into the cup. Hold the cup upright with the ball hanging still beneath it then try and pop the ball upward into the cup.
What a great tour! Thanks... I have one question. Since it was lived in to the 197O’s, were any rooms carpeted for the latest trends or did they leave the floors with rugs?
What are the heights of the upstairs and downstairs ceilings and doors?
I have Never seen a shower like that. How interesting.
I'm also surprised by how spartan the interior of the home is. The plain walls and lack of detailing in the woodwork seems uncharacteristic of a large plantation house. Has it always been this unadorned?
Im going to say, absolutely not
I am a Hammond knowing we’re I came from I wanna buy this land here shortly
thought certain parts couldve been faster moving but overall it was good
Less on books and toys, more on house.
Surely, the indoor house slaves would have slept up in the attic.

The US educational system has been dumbed down over the last half century. Words like cool or awesome are used because of a lack of vocabulary.
I want the security guard
I think she knows her stuff but she seems a bit nervous or out of shape, I couldn't understand some of the presentation due to breathlessness.
Glad you called them enslaved and not slaves.
Parents? You mean the slaves.

@StilltheJokesForMe Settle down, Toby. I didn't mean for the truth to upset you.
@StilltheJokesForMe Sure cannibal, please don't do a drive by.

I really don't like the toys ....I want to see the house
Better yet, what would the slaves have been doing!!!!!
as a black man in this country, I think that all plantation houses should be destroyed for good..

😳 those poor poor enslaved people had to take out their poop! 💩eww 🤢🤮
Unfortunately yes. We appreciate our interpreters for being able to accurately shed light on the unfathomable experiences of the enslaved people.
Paid and indentured servants also had to take out poop and such as part of their jobs.
Ok... now you are with the dolls.... moving on... I would put them all in a closet ...and what is hidden in the walls? 😦
