Taskeen Asmal actually, id love to be in the house not just with a story, but an actual history ... but, what id not love, is probably thinking that maybe those who witnessed the history happen was still in the house 😳 (noting the long timeline)
@@basilgaizka4672 uh, slaveholders or people who advocated for slavery likely lived in this home. . you probably didn't noticed something about a charleston rice bed and how rice was an important crop. well, how do you think they got that rice? slaves, and slaves also likely worked in this home.
@@orangemoonglows2692 Stop being a whiny SJW. Slavery has been around in most parts of the world. I wonder if arabs or turks in Damascus or Istanbul say "Oh my God, these old houses had slave owners in them!" Get over it.
@@BloodClotCryin o yeah but more in depth i meant :) it's always interesting to know more about it. but i understand not all places carry such records or stories in detail.
There is no God but Allah. Holy Quran has been revealed through angel jibreel to prophet Muhammed (PBUH) 1400 years ago as a guidence to all mankind. All the words of the holy Quran are from the Creator.I request everyone to buy the holy Quran with translation and read the entire holy Quran with patience to know about creator and to know why he created us.Pls watch video "The meaning of life muslim spoken word".Also watch famous muslim scholar doctor Zakir Naik lecture Quran and modern science compatible or incompatible.Search on youtube Quran:2 surah Al-Baqara english or native language translation.Read the whole surah with patience to know what Allah has said in the Quran .Surah Al- Baqara is the second Surah of the Quran.This surah is enough to prove that Allah is the only Creator.There are total of 114 suras in the Quran.If you want to know the truth about your Creator read 1 to 114 Surahs. Get to know your Creator, who has spoken to you through the Quran. Listen to the true story of Yusuf Estes,Why and how he became a Muslim from christian. Also listen to famous scholar Ahmed didat lecture who became muslim from Christian. Listen to famous muslim scholar lecture Nouman Ali khan,Mufti Menk,Tarik jameel,Yasmin Mogaheed and Omar Solaiman .Request to all muslims and non-muslims wake up before its too late.May Allah guide all of you on right path.Ameen
@@agme8045 I absolutely would love to but this house if I could afford it. Old architecture and style is exactly what I love. Modern style is absolutely disgusting to me.
ngl everyone's talking about ghosts but the true monsters would probably be the slaveowner history of this home........ Edit: Why these white racists r defending themselves on my comment thread? I don't know. I wasn't even saying anything, just pointing out how historical homes can have this kinda history. Hoping all allies and poc r having a nice day. Happy pride 🌈🌈🌈
Everything and everyone has a past ....the slaveowners of the day we’re doing what a lot did at that specific time in history .... I don’t believe they were monsters ....
@@anonymousonlineuser6543 How is this giant colonial house not a monument to slavery? It was only able to be built because of the slave trade. Irs still a beautiful house and deserves to be preserved. But there is no point not being honest about its history.
@@Xii371 Who cares? Only incredibly dumb person would look at Egyptian pyramid or Roman villa and think: ''Wonder, how many slaves died building it....''
@@anonymousonlineuser6543 well no one is going to live in the pyramids. Stop getting your knickers in a twist for people pointing out the colonial past of America. Get over it. You're being so sensitive
My boyfriend and I decided to play a drinking game everytime we watch AD together: drink whenever they mention indoor outdoor living, whenever there is a home movie theater, whenever you see a fireplace, etc. This one with 16 fireplaces was a good one
LOVED this tour. Please do more like it. Seeing modern after modern homes gets a bit tiring. And hats off to these agents - they did a great job relaying details about the property.
I feel like if we are going to talk about the history & the context of the architectural features, there needs to be some acknowledgement of slave ownership in that home. Its a gorgeous house and thats a hard topic, but i feel like erasure is not the best approach
Right! They kept saying that this home had “one of the first” or “the only home to have this big of a lot” etc, and I’m like... where do you think they got the money from to build a house of such grandeur and what they did to get this house (slavery)... and the “people” that would have been in the kitchen wouldn’t have been considered “people” during this homes first hundred years or so.
@@anonymousonlineuser6543 The original owner was one of the biggest plantation owners in South Carolina it literally is a monument to slavery you idiot.
@@Alex-lb9xd Only very dumb person looks at Roman villa or Egyptian pyramid and thinks: How many slaves were used to build it. You are one of those people. Congrats.
So what? Yes, slavery was bad, but it's a part of history, wether you like it or not. Do you want to demolish this and other houses of that era? Or rewrite history books?
I have a great idea! Why don't we all go to Rome and tear down every single solitary statue and piece of architecture? How about tearing down the Colosseo, too? The Romans owned more slaves than the modern world did, put together. You seem to be offended by the fact that, according to you, "they don't want to mention that the guest house is where the slaves lived." Are you aware of the fact that not every wealthy, Southern, family owned slaves? I guess you aren't. Did you know the owners of this property personally? You might want to inform yourself, or... you can just fall for the Globalist racial division agenda. You've been indoctrinated very well and so have the people who've up voted this comment. Congratulations on being a Globalist sheep. 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
Wow, made it through the entire house without reference to the history of enslaved people and the way this history effected the architecture and layout of the home 🤔
I was thinking the exact same thing, old charleston is a feast for the eyes but walking through it makes you sick because you know the enormous cost of human dignity involved to create this. I found it a unsettling mix of sensations.
george this is the very first thing that popped in my hed. i visualized pain all over that house. there are at a minimum 2000 ghosts of deceased black people in that yard alone . i'd be guilty
Exactly right. The ballroom and dining room would have been attended to by slaves, and the kitchen and gardens full of slaves cooking, harvesting, etc.
If they didn't have slaves, they would have had hired help who lived onsite or nearby and separate spaces for them, so I don't think that slavery affected the "layout" of the space. Slaves may have built the house if that's what you mean. Any American watching this video about a historic pre-revolutionary war home, would likely know that slaves likely existed in this space at many points in it's history (as they would have in ANY home that existed during the time period of slavery in the U.S.) so that really goes without saying. Also, it's not a video on American History, but on home architecture, and on a multi-million dollar space they're currently trying to sell. I don't think they have to be the History Channel when they are real estate brokers. Selling the home is their job, not teaching history.
It’s pretty remarkable when you look at all of the architectural achievements that should be attributed to enslaved labor. It’s a shame that it’s under-acknowledged in the modern day US.
It‘s a beautiful property and very thoughtfully restored. I hope the next owners would have as much love and respect for the place as the current ones do.
Beautiful house and job well done by the owners. Usually we see historic house from the outside but the inside is totally different. This house is a vibe. Both the realtors are amazing as well, they know what they are talking about and straight to the point.
Everyone's talking about how this is worth the price and, true. Except it is actually soooo expensive, I don't think I'll have this money in just a few years.
Set a goal and visualize having that money. Maybe you'll start a company, or sell a craft, or invent something, or innovate something, and become rich. It starts with visualizing and believing it though. Then your mind will start to work to figure out how to make it happen.
No one is going to pay 9 million for a house in Charleston with an association that limits renovation to the exterior and interior of the house. I can see why it’s been on the market for so long.
You know, i hate modern houses with their sterile environments and lifeless black, white and grey blocks. I genuinely prefer traditional and more colorful styles.... But this is just too much.Who would like to live in a house this old? This thing literally had slaves roaming around. It's not worthy at all. It's not that pretty and it's also not practical for modern life . It needs a lot of restoration. And i don't believe in ghosts and the supernatural at all, but that pool looks cursed asf. If ghosts existed, they sure as hell would inhabit this house. Imagine the amount of people who died within those walls. Imagine all the slave labor it saw. Too morbid to me.
100% with you on this. It's a pretty house but it gives me major creeps because of all the horror these walls will have seen. Who wants to live in that and constantly have to renovate it on top of that? No thank you. Couldn't pay me a million dollars to live in there.
Hm... you wouldn’t like in France... if you take a look at the city of Tours, in the historic centre people live in 13th century houses :) it’s not AS practical as some more modern houses, but the history is huge (although the history of this particular house is certainly reaaally not cool)
still bigger than most mansions they show. 8500 sqft is so freaking much. I found 9.5 milion in this house the biggest steal I have ever seen. That house in Callifornia, especially in Los Angeles County, wouldn't cost less than 25 milion.
Historical hullabaloo aside, I still think the art style of the interior looks worlds better than the razor sharp edge nightmares we have in modern houses.
“This is the formal dining room, I’m sure there have been amazing dinner parties” yeah...wondering who was serving the food... I find it really interesting how they just don’t talk about the obvious uncomfortable topic in house tours like this
Why should they even mention the slavery? If there should be slavery mentioned with every building ever built then most of Italy, Greece, Egypt and surrounding countries would have slavery writen on every single centimeter.
It’s frankly offensive that they expected us to gloss over the fact that there are literal slave quarters in this house. The amount of human suffering that has gone on in this house... just atrocious.
Notwithstanding how magnificent the home is, and the presentation is, the blonde woman lost me at the whatever mention of '69 Church'. Okay, Okay, we got it.
The absolute disregard of why this home even exists which is Slavery is disgusting. Slavery is literally the only reason this house was built and why it was able to be kept up almost 300 years later. Also they kept saying that this home had “one of the first” or “the only home to have this big of a lot” etc, and I’m like... where do you think they got the money from to build a house of such grandeur and what they did to get this house... and the “people” that would have been in the kitchen wouldn’t have been considered “people” during this homes first hundred years or so.
Ghosts can't hurt you, might have fun scaring you a little bit though. I'd be more worried about the illegal immigrants and gangs moving in just a few blocks away placed there on purpose by Biden to stir things up.
ironic they called it the "primary" bedroom instead of the master bedroom but completely glossed over the history of enslaved people who likely built that house and where the original owner's wealth came from
Well they stopped using the term master because of you sensitive wokes. Now you complain that they did. Always trying to stay relevant and important. Your opinion is just that.
The market has changed trend with almost a 50% dip recently and making new entries or looking at the charts can be dangerous to one's mental health especially for newbies, and this is a clear indication of why we as experienced Cryptocurrency traders and analysts have always advised from the start to always apply proper risk management and use stop losses in all trades (depending on your sentiment).
One thing you need to know as a trader is that the market doesn't go up always, there'll surely be pullbacks/corrective moves/retracements or what we call "dips" in simple terms, this is necessary to maintain normalcy and sustainability in the market (The Bulls' push and the Bears' pull), the dumps are always expected hence it would be very delusional if you believe in "UpOnly"
I really don’t understand how all this work but I invested with Mr David Harrison , a top notched forex trader that gives me profits every week or should I call it 7 days
This house, and the other buildings very much my style and decor and color schemes, I love this house etc. I hope that it gets new owners who will love it, take care of it, and respect its history and architectural design features! Well done indeed!
@@theopinionisthighqualityopinio In 2021: while they are still being socio-economically and politically oppressed; they are not technically slaves (someone's literal property) anymore -which is the people, the OP was likely referring to.
2:55 Talks about original shutters while showing clearly cheap later replacements. Original shutters all had beautiful medallions these flat boards with agricultural hooks do not belong in this house.
The Georgian-style Charleston mansion with the square design and all the windows makes it look like a modern mansion. I like the inside folding window shutters.
Jacob motte’s son married a woman who was the sister of Miles Brewton, a wealthy slave trader. So yeah.. based upon the family history of some of the past owners of this house, I would definitely not be surprised if there was many, many, slaves kept in this home. It really shouldn’t be on the market for someone to buy and call a home, and they also shouldn’t be advertising it without disclosing the full history .
@@migueltucabron because they’re not disclosing the true history and past of this home. Imagine moving in here thinking nothing of it because the owners didn’t tell you what happened here, then after you already bought it and spent time in this house found out the true history behind it? Not everyone is okay with living in a home innocent people were abused, killed, or passed away in. For a house that cost this much money they should be upfront about the history behind it, instead of trying to keep it a secret in hopes it will sell better
First and foremost someone who lives in the area need to be able to put down 9.5M (maybe a little bit less) and still have money to further work on the building. That's the main hurdle i'd say. Charleston isn't exactly known to be the city or area with high salaries or lots of big business. And then the buyer has to also like the style of the building which is pretty specific i'd say. So no, not really. I think a owner that respects the history of whatever heritage or skin color would be fine.
Great example of a lovely Georgian House! Kudos for the sympathetic restoration 👏 It would be great to *learn* more of the *history* of the US & the Americas before the US was formed. *This planet has existed for millions of years and humanity has been here for 40,000 years!* History, both pleasant and horrible is something we must learn to *acknowledge & accept* (not try to get rid of it, pretend it didn't happen or get really upset or angry about it) because it is still part of our Energy field as *energy is timeless: it can only be transformed into different vibrations, it can never die.* We need to *heal,* but first we must *learn* and then we can *grow* and do it *together* as *One Family,* one Consciousness, One Love ❤️
Am I missing something, the house was built in 1745 but has only had 3 owners?? And she says it's 150 years old, either I'm missing something or the maths doesn't add up??🤔
They didn’t disclose everything because clearly if they did no one would by the house . Just like they didn’t mention that one of the owners she brought up “ Jacob motte “ had a son, who married a woman that was the sister of one of the most wealthy slave owners. This house has some history alright
I'm glad I'm not the only one who cringed thru this thinking of that time and what this house was really like. Shame they couldn't have said something about its true history, but I'm assuming the owners are their ancestors
