Boone Hall Plantation's Stunning Beauty and Dark Past 

😢 exactly 💯💯

Indeed ! And stupid people want to remove statues, history, so the story / facts /troubles/ heartache are not shown! Like it did not exist. SMH. Disgrace of human kind! Show the WORLD. Like Jews and Holocaust this brutality did occur . We evolved!!! Least some of us and give reverence to our ancestors by being correct and equals.

lol imagine how the natives felt being removed. I will say these slave quarters are nice as hell compared to some others I’ve seen

@@Ryanp69 You really said "nice" and slave quarters in the same sentence??? 🤨 And the native's beef isn't with any of the enslaved...it's with the same white men that stole my ancestors and brought them here! They are to blame for it all!!

Although humans did much work, we need to thank the equine family for building this nation and the world. Humanity couldn't have accomplished so much without the horse.

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?

That could be anywhere on earth!

@@theresawright1176yeah but the actual history behind it.

@@nursekalonie9952 only because you’ve heard the history, there is history on every part of the earth, good and bad!

I don’t want to get married again but I think it’s a great idea . It’s beautiful there.

Our pain gives them wealth.

Yes! Horrible, and the fact that they have weddings where slaves were is terrible!

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 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.

Good point!

And that 500 year old tree. Whoa

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

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.

Why don’t you go someplace where it’s still going on instead of chickening and going to the museum?

@@ihave35cents95 That's a great idea!

@@ihave35cents95 Great idea!

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!

Middleton is one of the most beautiful properties I have seen so far. It was a day full of history. The little church had me in tears.

How exciting!!

Aww, how sweet! 💞

A plantation???

Cool❤

... Where's the location of your fourth proposal?

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….

Look around. So is the present.

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

Loved North and South with the late great Patrick Swayze

My thoughts exactly! Disturbing!

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!!

And I wouldn’t have a wedding at a plantation.

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.

Go see Magnolia Gardens Plantation too. the original house was burnt down but the gardens are gorgeous. They used the gardens for when we saw Ory leaving for West Point when he meets Madelyn at the beginning of North and South. They also so used those gardens in Army Wives when they spred Claudia Joy's ashes,

Middleton Place is worth a look too.

They were still living there when I visited in 2018

My mailman does six days a week

I’m so sorry
