Thank you so much for sharing your family connection and your desire to explore the area! It's always wonderful to hear about the personal connections people have with different places.
Ever think of preserving the history and heritage by leaving it alone? Tourism brings more people and alot of those people want a McDonald's or 7 11 every mile and a half. Look 15 miles east to the outer banks... People come here because it's not like where they're from, but eventually some move here permanently and wanna bring their Starbucks, too. As a native son of the area, I see my home turning into a different place. I stand on the banks and feel like the Indian in that commercial about littering... A single tear.
“You could not imagine the building of North Carolina as a colony without those people (enslaved Africans.)” I can IMAGINE it just fine. You should get your imagination checked out. It doesn’t seem to be working...
Very nice - thank you
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was Great, hope the tour is still active. Incredible information in this video.
Love the video man. I appreciate your history knowledge and time spent making this.

My family is from the NC/VA border at the Chowan. Id love to take a tour from the Sound up into Southampton or Suffolk

@Em Fisher Well, I'll agree with you that slavery was not a good thing, at least.
