Slavery has existed since time immortal. It still exists in the form of modern day slavery. The corporations do it for us. Tens of millions of adults and children are coerced into forced labor using threats of psychological and physical violence that include beatings, rape and death. Our world economy rides on the back of modern day slavery, yet strangely, the people who get upset about slavery of the past do not have the same energy for what is happening today. I know you're not motivated enough to get on a plane to Africa, the Middle East or China or are willing to give up any of your modern conveniences. Do you realize how many structures throughout history have been built by slaves? Would you have the same reaction visiting the pyramids of Egypt? I doubt it, you'd find them fascinating. Yet they were built by slaves. Stop virtue signaling. If you were born during the time period of this house and came from a wealthy planter family, you would have owned slaves. Instead we live in different times, corporations do it for us. Remember that.
That's Houmas House on the River Road near Baton Rouge. It was Charlotte's house in the movie "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte", which starred Bette Davis. The bell was used in antebellum times to call the slaves in from the fields at dusk.
Oh sure, the slaves were master bricklayers, masons, and carpenters the second they got off the ships, and not one white person had anything to do with building antebellum homes. I guess you believe they were the draftsmen and architects also. LMAO

molliemollie you ever hear of auto correct on your computer? You apparently know what I am trying to convey. Slaves lived, worked and died at this plantation. Do not sugar coat that this home is so splendid and what a loss for the way of life for its inhabitants.
New Orleans is my birthplace and this brought back some treasured memories of my formative years. Really thrilled you got to visit the historical areas. Spanish moss was a unique sleeping experience to say the least. I definitely appreciate my current mattress.
The enslaved people did not experience this or any other plantation as "genteel living." It is disingenuous to sanitize these places by leaving out the enslaved people. This needs to be corrected during these tours. This is just infuriating to me as a woman from the Caribbean where many people, as in the US and many other countries, were not part of humane much less genteel living. Stop lying by omission.
@@rosieokelly you glorify architecture that is based on the institution of slavery, African Americans were kidnapped and forced to work for nothing. African Americans were stripped away from their human rights so white people.Slave owners can live in wealth and luxury, like I said you glorify a beautiful death camp also known as a plantation. It’s not right
So, if they display the craftsmanship of the slaves they are "glorifying it" but if they swept it under the rug and didnt talk about slavery you would accuse them of "white washing". I think the slave's story and work should be displayed and told. You're attacking a museum. A place of learning. They are not glorifying slavery anymore than a history text book on the subject would. Are you against history books too? Historians and museums are not guilty of the institution of slavery. The guilty are dead. Take your virtue signaling elsewhere
@@user-dy6bb6cq9i Black people were selling their own and enslaving other races before the US existed. Slave comes from slavic, white people.

Wow beautiful Rosie! I love the Spanish moss in the trees reminds me of a past life in Savannah! Majestic Oaks love em! Wow huge orchid by the fountain!
💙 Beautiful? Yes!! However, I had a very creepy feeling about what really went on at that Plantation. I am *NOT* okay with all the horrific *SUFFERING* that went on at Southern Plantations!! 💔 That *ABSOLUTELY* breaks my heart!! God bless them. ❤
America is full of traffic stories. What white men did to the American Indians was basically genocide. They shoulda been convicted of crimes against humanity..
@@susanfreeman5340 So how do you all feel about the castles in Europe? The slaves weren't black, but they were completely subject to the lord of the area including life and death. They had dungeons and instruments of torture. How about the palace of Topkapi? Read the history of that place. How about Czarist or Stalin's Russia? It is absurd to think that bad things ruin such places. I just remembered the palaces in Venice. That is the past. How about the present? Do you travel in the far East? We have horrible child sex rings now, but I don't think people are refusing to look at the palaces in England because Jimmy Savile was a visitor there. For a wealthy black person, the best revenge might be to buy one of these places and live in it, but probably a wealthy black person is living in the present and has present day things to do.

Very beautiful Rosie. The trees and fountains are beautiful⚘. I bet the inside of this mansion would be beautifully done. Thanks for sharing Rosie🌹. Stay safe ev1 🙏 ♥️..
Great video. These people that bring up slavery forget that slavery has been the norm in world history, not the exception. They forget or don't know that every race has been enslaved. There were prosperous black slave owners in America that supported the south in the civil war. The first slave owner in the colonies was a black man named Anthony Johnson.. Native Americans had slaves that included black and white people. There were tribes that fought on the side of the south in the civil war. Yet natives have been heavily romanticized. Modern day slavery is worse than ever. Ten's of millions of adults and children are coerced into forced labor throughout the world using threats of psychological and physical violence that includes beatings, rape and death. They make many of the products we buy routinely from textiles, jewelry, cosmetics, foods, technology and more. These same people that will complain about a video made about a plantation home from the past live passively alongside the slavery of today. None of them are motivated enough to get on a plane to Africa, China or the Middle East. None of them are willing to give up any of their modern conveniences. You benefit from modern day slavery and you don't spend a second of your day thinking about it. It's very easy to condemn the white guy who owned a plantation and ignore the fact that there were other races involved in slavery. You'll romanticize Africa. Did you forget that they were the ones that sold y'alls ancestors? Long after the US stopped the trans Atlantic slave trade with Africa, they continued to sell their own for another century throughout the Caribbean and South America.. The US played a minor role in the slave trade, less than four percent. It was the Caribbean and South America, Brazil by far that were the biggest benefactors of the slave trade. I bet many of you would have no problem taking a lovely vacation to any of those places and wouldn't spend any energy thinking about the slave trade in those parts of the world. There are still places in Africa where people are still legally sold. I guess Africans just keep on doing their thing.. It was black people that sold you. It was white people that freed you. Again great video. I'll subscribe.
So you're saying they spent thousands of dollars on slaves to perform hard labor but chose instead to waste that money by hanging them in the trees? Is that your logic? (Slaves were so expensive that most people could not afford any)
Thank you for recording this, I don't know if I would have been able to see such a beautiful home without this video. By the way, no slaves were used in restoring this home, as slaver has been outlawed.
Thank God not all slaves were treated physically cruel. Some were loved and cared for, I know they worked and served their owners, but they were loved.
How sad that you blame beople admiring a brick and mortar structure for slavery. They are innocent . An inanimate object is not guilty of anythying, dumbass. If you want to blame someone then go to the slave owners. But you can't because they are dead so in your attempt to virtue signal, you go after innocent people and an old house.
You could tell those trees are very very old. In my country a lot of the houses were lost but the gov't & private owners restored quite a bit as well. Many of the trees were maintained. There is a park with hugh trees just like the ones in this video, unfortunately as was wt the time, slaves were hung from those very trees.
Linda Francine that’s because Sherman never made it to Louisiana. He destroyed thousands of beautiful plantations. I imagine since all the protesters are tearing down Confederate monuments they will turn their attentions to destroying these few plantations left. Let’s hope not.
Yes that happened but it is happening today young boys and girls,young men and women are stolen from families sold into sex slavery working here in sweatshops for nothing no way out. It is not a black or white thing we are all family of man, human kind. Let us move on to the light and leave dark behind, the dark of evil. Remember the past to learn from it, not dwell on the hate. I am 1/2 Indian American, you know what happened there, but we are all in this life together.
You see the beauty of the place? You know who made it, because it was made by slave labor does not make it ugly or want to tear it down, the pyramids, the sphinx, and many more amazing places were built by slave labor. I do not want them torn down. We learn from our past or we are doomed to repeat it. The prisons that held the Jews and other people that the nazi wanted to wipe out are still standing. Why? Because it is history and a testament to the triumph of people. The point I am trying to make is let us move on,live and spread love not hate let the light of God fill your life and others.
Paula Meredith if that is what believe go right ahead. I don't like no History of these plantations... You forget how other people feel only think of what you want to feel. Put your self in their shoes for once...
Sherry Rouse no stupid. You don't get the point. For once put your heart in how they feel when they seen our their ancestors live. Slavery was not a good thing for anyone. You have not done Reseach on slavery at all. There were all race that was slavery in those days. How would you like to live the way the slaves live...?
Just thought of people wanting continue to display these plantations and be in awe of how beautiful the place is never giving remorse for the many souls spirit and well being, being murdered daily. The nerve to contiue reminding black people of their ancestors horrid history is just acontinual slap in the face.
You do not pick sugarcane back then thy cut it now days they Harvest it majority of the workers all relatives of the original workers till this day at $12 an hour to 20.00 free houseing and food on the plantatation and if thay live off the plantation that get taking back and to work for free if they need to but most have there on homes and car trucks its not as bad thay get 4.1 k and retirement if like all other if thay work for so many year i at one time in in the 70s i work in the sugar harvesting business and Louisiana and in Puerto Rico so things are a better and what they were a hundred years ago that's the important thing and we would have some of the worker's go to Puerto Rico free housing free transportation and meals cook for them if thats all food was provided what thay wanted at that time in the 70s making $50 a day the flight there and back Puerto Rico was free so things are better that the important thing thanks that was in 70s I don't know what it is today

Is this the house that was in the TV Mini Series “The North and South”, staring Patrick Swazye? Mother and I went on a trip to see a few plantations around 1978, I was thinking this was one with the reflection pond. But I was surprised it isn’t in the country. BUT, rather it was where I visited or not, it’s beautiful!
linda hobbs The plantation in that tv series was Boone Plantation. It’s not an original, It was re-built in the 1930s. I’ve visited Boone plantation in South Carolina and was very disappointed in it.
Love all these beautiful mansions but way too much house. Even if I were rich beyond measure, I would never have a home with rooms that are never used. I could care less if people knew I was rich or not.

molliemollie you ever hear of auto correct on your computer? You apparently know what I am trying to convey. Slaves lived, worked and died at this plantation. Do not sugar coat that this home is so splendid and what a loss for the way of life for its inhabitants.
New Orleans is my birthplace and this brought back some treasured memories of my formative years. Really thrilled you got to visit the historical areas. Spanish moss was a unique sleeping experience to say the least. I definitely appreciate my current mattress.
I'd say the tree is about 200 yrs .
The enslaved people did not experience this or any other plantation as "genteel living." It is disingenuous to sanitize these places by leaving out the enslaved people. This needs to be corrected during these tours. This is just infuriating to me as a woman from the Caribbean where many people, as in the US and many other countries, were not part of humane much less genteel living. Stop lying by omission.
I’m not into glorifying slavery
I agree..I am into glorifying architecture
@@rosieokelly you glorify architecture that is based on the institution of slavery, African Americans were kidnapped and forced to work for nothing. African Americans were stripped away from their human rights so white people.Slave owners can live in wealth and luxury, like I said you glorify a beautiful death camp also known as a plantation. It’s not right
@@user-dy6bb6cq9i no, I enjoy architecture, period
So, if they display the craftsmanship of the slaves they are "glorifying it" but if they swept it under the rug and didnt talk about slavery you would accuse them of "white washing". I think the slave's story and work should be displayed and told. You're attacking a museum. A place of learning. They are not glorifying slavery anymore than a history text book on the subject would. Are you against history books too? Historians and museums are not guilty of the institution of slavery. The guilty are dead. Take your virtue signaling elsewhere
@@user-dy6bb6cq9i Black people were selling their own and enslaving other races before the US existed. Slave comes from slavic, white people. Africans kidnapped white Europeans and used them as slaves. After the US ended the trans Atlantic slave trade of which we played a minor role, Africans still continued to sell their own all over the world long after. While the US was having a civil war to end slavery, Africans were still selling their own World history is interwoven with slavery. Our modern economy rides on the back of modern day slavery. Tens of millions of adults and children throughout the world are coerced into forced labor using threats of psychological and physical threats that include beatings, rape and death. Many of your textiles, food, jewelry, cosmetics, technology are made by people in modern day slavery as society lives passively alongside it. I bet you would find visiting the pyramids of Egypt fascinating. or would you. They were built by slaves. If you're going to get upset about slavery you might as well wipe out all of human history.
I bet its erie to it the ghost spirits of all the slaves are still around there it brings tears to your eyes
cleveland antwine Democrats ran these plantations. They still are in a sense.
Nancy Rocks:Ok... but no one mentioned anything about political parties.
Yes
Never seen any ghosts of slaves or Christians in the Flavian Amphitheater in Rome. As a result, I don't cry when I go there.
Wow beautiful Rosie! I love the Spanish moss in the trees reminds me of a past life in Savannah! Majestic Oaks love em! Wow huge orchid by the fountain!
💙 Beautiful? Yes!! However, I had a very creepy feeling about what really went on at that Plantation. I am *NOT* okay with all the horrific *SUFFERING* that went on at Southern Plantations!! 💔 That *ABSOLUTELY* breaks my heart!! God bless them. ❤
America is full of traffic stories. What white men did to the American Indians was basically genocide. They shoulda been convicted of crimes against humanity..
@@susanfreeman5340 So how do you all feel about the castles in Europe? The slaves weren't black, but they were completely subject to the lord of the area including life and death. They had dungeons and instruments of torture. How about the palace of Topkapi? Read the history of that place. How about Czarist or Stalin's Russia? It is absurd to think that bad things ruin such places. I just remembered the palaces in Venice. That is the past. How about the present? Do you travel in the far East? We have horrible child sex rings now, but I don't think people are refusing to look at the palaces in England because Jimmy Savile was a visitor there. For a wealthy black person, the best revenge might be to buy one of these places and live in it, but probably a wealthy black person is living in the present and has present day things to do.
@@susanfreeman5340 Native Americans owned black slaves. I'm part Native and it was pretty common...
@@josephdockemeyer4807 Some of the tribes in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) owned slaves and sided with the Confederacy during the Civil War. I'm from Oklahoma, and am part Native American.
@@pamwren6866 Don't really think any descendants of Hebrew slaves of sound minds would want to buy a home that reminds them of their ancestor's slavery and maltreatment of floggings with horse whips, hangings and slave rape and who knows what other atrocities went on the there in the big house or grounds. Many of these compound antebellum era plantation homes are haunted as well.
It's been used in several movies. The best was Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte with Bette Davis from 1964.
“ YOU GITTT OFFFFFA MYYYY PROPITYYYYYY !!!!!!!” I can picture Bettie Davis screaming that from the top porch now!!!
A yuuge house was used in Jezebel, with Bette.
I'm pretty sure it's also the house they used in the movie called the frogs with Sam Elliott
I like that movie
Wasn’t this the inspiration for brathweight manor in rdr2
Gourgous home and grounds, Southerners knew what was classy and elegant.
OFF THE BACKS OF OPPRESSED SLAVES, IAM GLAD THIS WAY OF LIFE WAS DESTROYED, ROT IN HELL
Bryan Snodgrass..."Southerners knew how to live"? In the movies (ie Gone With Wind and Birth Of A Nation) but in Reality, No! They Did Not Know How To Live! The land that Plantation sits on was taken "STOLEN' from Indigenous People. The Labor to build that "Edifice To Horror" was again, "STOLEN" from the lives of Shackled, Brutalized and Imprisoned Men, Women and Children, In 'PERPETUITY'! (You, Your Children, Grand, Great Grand Children, Exploited FOREVER!). The Only Elegance, is in Our Constitution and in its ability to Ultimately Respond and Resolve; May that be a Perpetual Truth.
@@annowens5019 The TRUTH HURTS SOME PEOPLE
@Mac 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Oh please, cry me a river! If you can't appreciate the beauty and elegance of these southern mansion and estates that's your problem.
If I had the money I'd buy it, gorgeous house
@Tom Meadows Fifty thousand won't buy anything anymore. A house this historic and famous, plus the land, would sell for at least three million.
Very beautiful Rosie. The trees and fountains are beautiful⚘. I bet the inside of this mansion would be beautifully done. Thanks for sharing Rosie🌹.
Stay safe ev1 🙏 ♥️..
Louisiana is beautiful.
im so jealous of your great adventures around the U.S.A. saw you in kingsburg ca when you made your video there
Great video. These people that bring up slavery forget that slavery has been the norm in world history, not the exception. They forget or don't know that every race has been enslaved. There were prosperous black slave owners in America that supported the south in the civil war. The first slave owner in the colonies was a black man named Anthony Johnson.. Native Americans had slaves that included black and white people. There were tribes that fought on the side of the south in the civil war. Yet natives have been heavily romanticized. Modern day slavery is worse than ever. Ten's of millions of adults and children are coerced into forced labor throughout the world using threats of psychological and physical violence that includes beatings, rape and death. They make many of the products we buy routinely from textiles, jewelry, cosmetics, foods, technology and more. These same people that will complain about a video made about a plantation home from the past live passively alongside the slavery of today. None of them are motivated enough to get on a plane to Africa, China or the Middle East. None of them are willing to give up any of their modern conveniences. You benefit from modern day slavery and you don't spend a second of your day thinking about it. It's very easy to condemn the white guy who owned a plantation and ignore the fact that there were other races involved in slavery. You'll romanticize Africa. Did you forget that they were the ones that sold y'alls ancestors? Long after the US stopped the trans Atlantic slave trade with Africa, they continued to sell their own for another century throughout the Caribbean and South America.. The US played a minor role in the slave trade, less than four percent. It was the Caribbean and South America, Brazil by far that were the biggest benefactors of the slave trade. I bet many of you would have no problem taking a lovely vacation to any of those places and wouldn't spend any energy thinking about the slave trade in those parts of the world. There are still places in Africa where people are still legally sold. I guess Africans just keep on doing their thing.. It was black people that sold you. It was white people that freed you. Again great video. I'll subscribe.
I have to say, you do great in capturing the moment. You do an excellent job.
Beautiful on the backs of Slave Labor !
Half of the video and you're still not inside that means ur not going in. We stopped the video. Sorry.
Also, they never mention the NAME of the PLANTATION! I know from other videos, but they never mention it!
The crazy thing is after slaves were set free slave owners went off to be police officers judges lawers and etc
PROBABLY MANY WERE HUNG FROM THAT TREE!
And people have the nerves to talk about how beautiful the tree is smh
So you're saying they spent thousands of dollars on slaves to perform hard labor but chose instead to waste that money by hanging them in the trees? Is that your logic? (Slaves were so expensive that most people could not afford any)
I highly doubt any were.
@@ednakelley814 Liberals have no clue what they are talking about.
Thank you for recording this, I don't know if I would have been able to see such a beautiful home without this video. By the way, no slaves were used in restoring this home, as slaver has been outlawed.
Who do you think built it to begin with? It was built on evil.
Thank God not all slaves were treated physically cruel. Some were loved and cared for, I know they worked and served their owners, but they were loved.
@@mary1969100 Pretty twisted to believe that one human being literally owning another has anything to do with love.
This so sad as adults you call a place of torture and evil beautiful, the world I live in
How sad for you that you can't move on
@@rosieokelly that’s your response? 😂 terrible..
@@mkeonfiremagazine4673 too bad...
How sad that you blame beople admiring a brick and mortar structure for slavery. They are innocent . An inanimate object is not guilty of anythying, dumbass. If you want to blame someone then go to the slave owners. But you can't because they are dead so in your attempt to virtue signal, you go after innocent people and an old house.
Beautiful dixie 🇯🇪🏴
You could tell those trees are very very old. In my country a lot of the houses were lost but the gov't & private owners restored quite a bit as well. Many of the trees were maintained. There is a park with hugh trees just like the ones in this video, unfortunately as was wt the time, slaves were hung from those very trees.
Whenever I see this house I see Bette Davis hell out Get off my property
A lot of people died for such material things. Still seems like those lives don’t matter
How so?Alota people died to right that wrong, too...
All plantations should have been burned to the ground after the war
Lots of the Mansions in that area are New and lived in. Usually some rich Oil People build brand new ones or restore old ones
Wow if those trees could talk the History beautiful homes they make my house look like a storage house
I've never seen anything like that in my life. I've seen some places in VA that were great, but this is amazing.
Linda Francine that’s because Sherman never made it to Louisiana. He destroyed thousands of beautiful plantations. I imagine since all the protesters are tearing down Confederate monuments they will turn their attentions to destroying these few plantations left. Let’s hope not.
It may be beautiful but evil lies there...?
Yes that happened but it is happening today young boys and girls,young men and women are stolen from families sold into sex slavery working here in sweatshops for nothing no way out. It is not a black or white thing we are all family of man, human kind. Let us move on to the light and leave dark behind, the dark of evil. Remember the past to learn from it, not dwell on the hate. I am 1/2 Indian American, you know what happened there, but we are all in this life together.
Paula Meredith yes move and how when these Planation are still here...?
You see the beauty of the place? You know who made it, because it was made by slave labor does not make it ugly or want to tear it down, the pyramids, the sphinx, and many more amazing places were built by slave labor. I do not want them torn down. We learn from our past or we are doomed to repeat it. The prisons that held the Jews and other people that the nazi wanted to wipe out are still standing. Why? Because it is history and a testament to the triumph of people. The point I am trying to make is let us move on,live and spread love not hate let the light of God fill your life and others.
Paula Meredith if that is what believe go right ahead. I don't like no History of these plantations... You forget how other people feel only think of what you want to feel. Put your self in their shoes for once...
Sherry Rouse no stupid. You don't get the point. For once put your heart in how they feel when they seen our their ancestors live. Slavery was not a good thing for anyone. You have not done Reseach on slavery at all. There were all race that was slavery in those days. How would you like to live the way the slaves live...?
To think, no air conditioning, electric or internet.
And no deodorant!
No phone, no lights, no motorcar. Not a single luxury!
Just thought of people wanting continue to display these plantations and be in awe of how beautiful the place is never giving remorse for the many souls spirit and well being, being murdered daily. The nerve to contiue reminding black people of their ancestors horrid history is just acontinual slap in the face.
How do you know we don't have remorse?
Yeah a sugar plantation for the slaves to pick and never got paid. Some of the trees that hung slaves.
💙😥 My thoughts EXACTLY!! ❤ God bless you.
You do not pick sugarcane back then thy cut it now days they Harvest it majority of the workers all relatives of the original workers till this day at $12 an hour to 20.00 free houseing and food on the plantatation and if thay live off the plantation that get taking back and to work for free if they need to but most have there on homes and car trucks its not as bad thay get 4.1 k and retirement if like all other if thay work for so many year i at one time in in the 70s i work in the sugar harvesting business and Louisiana and in Puerto Rico so things are a better and what they were a hundred years ago that's the important thing and we would have some of the worker's go to Puerto Rico free housing free transportation and meals cook for them if thats all food was provided what thay wanted at that time in the 70s making $50 a day the flight there and back Puerto Rico was free so things are better that the important thing thanks that was in 70s I don't know what it is today
That's what you say. We all know the Truth. Oh I forgot SOME people do not like the truth.
@@TYP1970 I agree!! ❤
Do you actually thank its like 100 years a go if so you need to stop living in pass i feel sure fo you because you have only time ahead for you that's what you should be look at and see if you can make thing better srop talking abou the pass look to the future go out if you can make it better .
Don’t spotlight a house unless you can show the inside of it.
Family is beautiful
Beautiful place THANKS for sharing.
What beautiful gardens
Good morning babes! Very beautiful home indeed. Hope you both have a wonderful day, and thank you for sharing.👍👍😘😘❤❤🌹🌹💎💎
It looks like the house from the Scooby Doo On Zombie Island movie !
Slavery ended and a lot of Southern Mansions ended to they don't have no money after slavery so they can't keep the house up I seen stuff like that in Mississippi
Rosie I'll bet that tree was alive during the Civil War 1860 era.
It is most definitely older than that, a live oak tree that big is probably about 200 to 300 years old. Some can even live for thousands of years.
Karen Hope. Cant get any work out of a dead slave now could you?? Would have been a waste of a huge sum of money to hang a slave.
@@VelveteenRabbit77 people still did it though ..

Looks just like the house from Hush-hush sweet Charlotte
beautiful. i wish we could go inside.
It's now 2022 and I read your comment about wishing to see the inside of a plantation house called Houmas in La. and thought I 'd tell you there's a you tube that takes you inside and tells it's story. ✌️🌍
Awesome, I'll soon be visiting many the plantations in this area, looking forward to it
From Brazil. Beautiful Place. Thank you this vídeo. ❤👏👏👏
Well that was disappointing didn't even get to see the house
Its called houmas house i used to work here as a groundskeeper
Called the SLAVES IN FROM THE FIELD!!! ALSO CALLED THEM TO WITNESS A BEATING....A "WHIPPING" FOR RUNNING OR FOR BEING CAUGHT READING!!
They didn't even have written forms of language in the Yoruba traditions of West Africa, and had not yet invented the wheel.
Ok. She meant that if other slaves taught them to read or write English they were caught they were punished. And thank heavens this was over 170 years ago!
@justynjonn so wtf is your point?!
@justynjonn there are resources that describe Africa had some of the earliest and most advanced civilizations... I'm sure that written language was one of them
@@hereisayana8207 the slaves in the USA were not allowed to speak to each other in their BATIVE TONGUE..nor were they allowed to WRITE ANYTHING DOWN AND ESPECIALLY IN ENGLISH which they never wanted them to learn how to read in the 1st place.
Genteel living??? Not for the slaves at the time.
Everytime I hear plantations homes I think about the horrific racial treatment of the slaves 😢beautiful homes from the outside but ugly from the inside
I can just imagine the strange fruits
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Red Dead Redemption 2 brought me here :)
Is this the Mansion that was used in the Bette Davis Movie of 1964 ... Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte ? Or was the Mansion In Humas La. ??
It is the same place. It's called Houmas House, near Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Thanks...Sweet Charlotte was a great movie...Bette Davis and Olivia were superb in their roles.....
Does the house have a name?!
It is called Houmas House and is located in Darrow, LA.
In burned one of these mansions in Red dead redemption 2
Blood money mansion not breathtaking at all!!!!
There Ya go Rosie, You said you wanted to buy a place. That would make a nice little Weekender for you and Jenn to slip away to when you need a break. Whooo Yer!!
I really want to build this house 🏡 for myself. I’m sure everyone I know won’t like it because they’re all into contemporary/modern homes lol 😂. I’d have to spend a fortune on landscaping to go with the house as well 😩.
Yeap no more slaves to work the fields of your dream plantation house lol
@@mackmixedit umm I’m black. You know I didn’t even think I’d get a comment like this when I left my comment but you got the wrong person to attack. Lmaooooo my ancestors are slaves.
I too love this architecture, and plan to do a sized down version of this with modern touches.
There is a replica of this house in Shreveport, La on the Ellerbe Road
Which plantation is this? You should give out the name
Homa Plantation....sorry
Simply beautiful!!!
A man from Ireland is restoring it. good for him. I love Irishmen.
What did the inside of the house look like?
isn't that the house they used in the movie North and South? It was called Resolute on the movie though the movie would have you to believe it was in SC. The actual place was Louisiana for that house
Michael Burke they used a house on the battery in Charleston South Carolina to film North and South. Maybe used this one too, I’m not certain, but I do know about the one in Charleston because I was there when they filmed.
They filmed Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte in this house.
Greenwood plantation, also in Louisiana in the Felicianas, was used for Resolute.
Redemption of all slave energy
wish you could’ve gone inside
I did honey..others vids
That tree is quite something
Yall still tryna get to Heaven ?? This shows u that the slave masters were living in a kingdom which is Heaven on earth. However our ancestors had to live like ragdolls and die to live in mansion??? Wtf!! I thank God I understand it all now.
We live in times where corporations do it for us. Ten's of millions of adults and children are coerced into forced labor using threats of beatings, rape and death. If you tryna get into heaven Jesus would want you to get on plane to Africa, China, or the Middle East and help them. Jesus would want you to give up your modern conveniences to help them. Black people sold their own all over the world. The US played a minor role in the slave trade. It was white people that freed them whilst the black Africans kept on selling and selling and selling.
Houma House is pretty cool
There are a lot of fucked up things that went down there, this place is a shit hole.
Is this the house that was in the TV Mini Series “The North and South”, staring Patrick Swazye? Mother and I went on a trip to see a few plantations around 1978, I was thinking this was one with the reflection pond. But I was surprised it isn’t in the country.
BUT, rather it was where I visited or not, it’s beautiful!
linda hobbs The plantation in that tv series was Boone Plantation. It’s not an original, It was re-built in the 1930s.
I’ve visited Boone plantation in South Carolina and was very disappointed in it.
harpsichordgal .......Thank you for the information.
Love all these beautiful mansions but way too much house. Even if I were rich beyond measure, I would never have a home with rooms that are never used. I could care less if people knew I was rich or not.
IW Nunn you forget people had way more kids then. Some times 10 or even more!
@@minniemouska4320 yeah, maybe but pretty sure it was more about ego and display of wealth.
