Drayton Hall Oldest Preserved Plantation 

So true. The enslaved people deserve for their stories to be told

thanks for watching

There is a large white plantation house near Orangeburg that has shackles still hanging from the beams in the cellar

So Sad It Went Away.

Oh my so sad :(

Depends on the curator. I've seen plantation tours, which were nothing more, than a promotion of 'that way of life'.

@@swannoir7949 they are not "promotions" of that way of life! They are part of history and a way of life that is gone. No one wants it back but it's fascinating to think and see how people lived. Most visit the battlefields of the civil war too, where over half the male population died ending slavery. I don't believe the reenactments are promoting that way of life! Thousands of men died in a brutal horrific war ending an abomination that was slavery! The houses, the fields, all of it, is a way to remember the victims and to see how far we have come as a nation! It's sad people push negative ideas and downright lies about this time in history! Certain groups push for everyone to forget about the famlies destroyed and men cut down fighting for freedom of all people and ending slavery! No one is promoting slavery and that life! Sometimes people are afraid to talk about certain things such as slavery in tours cause no matter how or what they say some people get offended and get verbally abusive.

So true. Thanks for watching

Wow . I would never quess that I you would see my video. It is an honor. I have actually slept on the ground at Woodfield Inn in Flat Rock where a lot of low country people spent the summers. Thanks again for watching

@@CAROLINATONY if you ever want to visit the graves. They are buried at St John of the Wildnerness Church in Flatrock NC.

I will definitely check it out. I have a house near there

@@roseplug1979 You're not very bright are you?

I appreciate that

You are so welcome

Thank you for subscribing. If I can ask what drove you to my channel. I am always trying to improve. The Drayton Hall has gained a lot of traction in the last few weeks. I have other plantation videos that have not done as well. Thanks for your input

@@CAROLINATONY your videos came up on my feed. When I heard SC decided to subscribe. Love SC.

Thanks Stephen. You have a good week

Oh, so this part of history was 'great' to you?

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for watching

Glad you enjoyed it!

I read that some swept their yards

Sheep and goats are the grass. Some homes in the South still use that method my sister said.

Those were not bricked-up windows. That bricked up area was once where a false door was. Symmetry was important in 18th-century homes,so they would put a second door up for show.

Saying no you idea I have

There were some freed blacks who owned slaves as well.

Good point!

Drayton Hall is preserved. Not restored. That way we can see just how it was so I was told. Kind of in a state of suspended animation

They were

Thanks for watching

I do have asthma

Thanks for watching

Not all are like that. That was made years ago.

Amen!

I love the King James Bible - can you explain the context ?

So are you making some kind of threat toward white people alive today for the sins of their fathers?

I appreciate you watching. However is it necessary for you to correct my speach or how I pronounce a word. There are far too many people in this world that live for a chance to catch someone making a mistake so they can feel superior.

Stop critiquing him.your not perfect.

Stop critizing him.your not perfect

I am sure you have people in your families history who have committed crimes, should you stand trail now and pay fines for all the crimes they committed? Why? Do the Muslims pay too? What about the black Africans who sold their fellow countrymen, do they pay too? What about the thousands of whites enslaved by Barbery coast pirates, do we get paid too? What about the millions of white people who have been enslaved throughout history? Who pays all of us? What about the thousands of white people who died to free the slaves from the Democrats? Are their families getting paid for their sacrifices? Slavery is horrible, there is no doubt about that. Sadly slavery has been around since before recorded history. More white people have been enslaved than any other race throughout history. Why don't you put your hand back in your pocket and teach about how the US fought against slavery? Many states in the US began to fight against and even abolish slavery soon after we became a nation. Vermont abolished slavery in 1777 before it joined the United States as the 14th state in 1791. Pennsylvania abolished slavery in 1780. Massachusetts abolished slavery by judicial decree in 1783.

As with a lot of places in America and around the world! It didn't just happen there!

@@longlegs7881never said it didn’t but this is not a place to be be glorified….. no good history there

@@rashadadams2 a lot of places didn't have good things happen! Look at concentration camps. They are not glorified but they are open for tourists, a lot of media made there. It's historical even with its horrific history. If we ignored or didn't talk about the places where bad things happened we cannot learn from it. (And could repeat the mistake) I think we repeat mistakes no matter what but these places are reminders of what not to do and allows victims to be remembered. I have wondered about plantations and tours, I came to believe they are good. One, the architecture is amazing, it's a way of life that is gone and won't ever be repeated, and it's a reminder that slavery existed and to remember those that were subjected to that atrocious practice. It also shows us how far we have come. The battlefields of the civil war where over half the male population died in America. That war was brutal and those fields let us remember those fallen, and all the men who gave there lives ending slavery! People want to say thats not what war was about. Yes it was, please do not disrespect the men who died fighting so slavery would end in America! Freed slaves came up with money and erected a statue as a Thank you to Abraham Lincoln for freeing the slaves. I think the slaves know what the war and Lincoln were about and they loved Lincoln and morned his death, which he was murdered because he ended slavery! This is why ripping down statues and destroying historical sites isn't good! People today attempt to change history, but when you have a statue paid for and erected by freed slaves, it's hard to change the fact that the Civil War was fought to end slavery and thousands died fighting for that freedom! I dont think advertising, talking about, or other stuff about these places glorify them, it brings awareness to them and there existence.

@@rashadadams2 All history must preserved, good and bad. This place is not only a reminder of slavery but the thousands who died to end it. Slavery is a horrible part of every race's history. More white people have been enslaved than blacks. Do you feel the same way about Muslims as you do about this place? Do you blame them the same way? No one alive today is to blame for what happened more than 159 years ago. The Islamic slave trade in Africa started more than 400 years before the first European white slave traders bought their black slaves. It was a Muslim slave trader who captured the Africans and sold them. Muslims also castrated all the black slaves that went the Islams Arab route. Did you know that? They did this for two reasons, they could not have intercourse with Arab women and so they could not reproduce. The very word for black people in Arabic is Abeed, which means slave. The word slave was originally for white European Slavic people. History, all history, needs to be taught. Not to teach hate, but to teach of humanity's mistakes so we don't repeat them. There are more slaves in today's world than at any time in recorded history. Perhaps we should concentrate on helping them instead of living in an American past that does not exist anymore.

Young girls. Young boys and babies. Raped and murdered. I can't imagine the atrocities that😮 happened there. I can hear their screams.

What the hell are you talking about?

Hahaha

color! make $$$ that's always the answer to take your pain away..all the way to the bank.

Your wrong a lot of freedom slaves were given property! Some were given plantations! Obviously you never researched it, you went off lies that are told!
