It is very important to include the stories of the enslaved and people who sharecropped or never paid their worth in every plantation tour. Yes, they were beautiful homes with grandeur and splendor but they came at a great cost and sacrifice of others. That history shouldn't be forgotten.
This is why most migrated north like what my family did. If you live on plantation your always a slave. The fact that they were robbing them shows what type of people they were. GREAT video
Putting aside the evils of slavery for a moment, I recall reading once that someone had famously said, " You have to be a Mighty Rich Cotton Farmer, before You could be a Poor Sugar Farmer..."!!

Excellent. Thank you.
Excellent oral history. Thank you for trying to be as accurate as possible.
My family comes from this area... Ascension, Assumption, St. James, Lafourche and Orleans Parishes.
My family was on Destrehan Plantation working sugar cane fields.
Wow thats interesting. Beautiful plantations but they had free labor which was just so wrong.
Bringing their own food to work in those hot sharp cane fields! Wow! My mom feeds everyone she hires to work around her property.
Mom was in the Ray movie. Stone Production.
I lived the lifestyle in Thibodaux, LA.
Still live in the territory. Got a lot of knowledge to share. Stone production for movies. Holla. Know everywhere to film.
Fabulous documentary.
