They got it all wrong, the plantation owners didn't make this place beautiful and historic. The slaves and workers did with blood, sweat, tears and heartbreak. They are the ones who deserve the credit .

So they spent 13k for the materials to build the house, and paid $0.00 for the labor. Anytime I see homes like this I cannot see the beauty, all I see is pain and suffering.

The narrator speaks of Rosedown's slaves in the same unaffected tone she uses to describe its gardens. Creepy.

Shameful History Here

What about the people who made this plantation actually work and did the labor necessary? Those who had no choice of whether or not to live and work there, or who may have their family sold away from them? Amazing to just brush over this!

God Bless the 444 precious souls who built and maintained this plantation. Sadly they remain unnamed and mostly ignored, as we gape at the splendor and extravagance of both Rosedown and her owners. Not to mention the untold and unnamed natives whose land was taken from underfoot to build the place.

What about the enslaved people that were there? There's hardly a mention of them, their contributions, their history. While the house is beautiful and the story of the sisters keeping it up is endearing, the real story is of the slaves and the work the did there. Aren't there any slave records available with their names, ages, work speciality and skin tones?

@dee.tyson1

Wow! They owned over 400 slaves at one time! That’s literally the same size as a high school graduating class!

@rainedrop4814

This is beautiful, that’s true. But to whose glory? It seems to me that man wants to give glory to themselves, but all praise and glory belongs to God. Where are they now? All of their accomplishments whether they did it by the means of slave labor or not, it’s really all in vain and a chasing after the wind.

This place of horrors was beautiful because of the free labor of ENslaved people! Anybody that engaged in human trafficking no matter what era was despicable no matter how wonderful they are portrayed! Yes, you can’t change history but let’s not overlook that part of history either!

Thank you for posting this documentary. Silencing and tearing down does not change history. As a former teacher, I know how important it is to teach the history of this nation, the good and the bad. I know of no one who thinks that slavery was a good thing and cannot imagine owning other people, but that is gone, thank God, at least in the U.S. Tearing down and silencing only stirs the pot and causes division. Can't change what happened. Can only love, as God has taught us to love, and to treat everyone the same.

Amazing history, I’m so glad it’s preserved. You can’t change the past or forget the past, you must learn from the past.

It should be viewed as historical….as a people I try to understand a mindset where you can possibly look at humans as property to be owned, sold, and treated Iike cattle….I cant for the life of me see their perspective…money the root of all evil….but then, look our world today….slavery still exists in places like Africa, China….we still haven’t eradicated it.

@maggiekay9292

When we lived in Lafayette, everytime we had guests we toured all the plantations. Hauntingly Beautiful places with such history..good and bad

No matter how you dress it up, suffering is suffering. And if your wealth was built on the suffering of others, it is ill earned and poorly viewed by the majority of people.

@user-jn2wx7db1c

“They got it all wrong” comment is so true. Like the Newport mansions, it was the labor of men who made them beautiful. The owners just wrote the checks. So, my respect goes to the slaves & laborers/craftsmen, not the wealthy trash.

Love Historical homes and if they have their original furniture even more. I love the history of the home and it's owners. The gardens at Rosedown are breathtaking. Fascinating video Thank You.

I love history, the good, the bad, the ugly. We should learn from the past and not make the same mistakes as our ancestors. Some have more, some have less, it is just the way of our world.

Amazing is the history of this plantation. Thank goodness for the step in an purchase to protect what the greedy one was destroying bit by bit. Continuing success be with you and this historic plantation. Thank you for sharing.

It is amazing so many of the furnishings, crystal, silverware, etc. somehow survived. This is a true living document of a period of American history, albeit so painful and sad to know how the Turnbull's wealth was acquired. We must remember how things were as to not repeat the mistakes of the past.
