Phenomenal tour and the guide was superb! As a museum educator myself, I am learning tips on how to make my tours shine! :) Beautiful plantation and way to cover history in an UNBIASED way! A+
Have lived in Tampa since 1993 and driven past Gamble several times, saying that I would visit, but have yet to. Thanks for the video presentation, very informative.
It is a beautiful home.Slavery is an ugly part of history most history is ugly.Hopefully people take the lessons history has taught.I know it's a video about the house and who stayed there.So therefore it's a good video
Wish the tour i paid for yesterday would have been this well done. Same Tour guide must of had a bad day as he rushed us through with very few details.
So sorry that happened...was there alot of people? We taped this on a early day nobody there... been there with a group and yes it does go faster for sure.
Obyrietta: If the vid was about slavery of course he would be presenting differently. This vid was a description of a house and who lived in it. I think he did a good job on the subject.
The abandoned plantation potential know it's only a small actor like dwayne jhonson do buy it renewal ang then sell it again to a some bilionaire as plan b the bilionaire
No offense you guys show these plantations like they so amazing and they are , but we reflect so much pain from that legacy , that's why they should repay reparations treat us like you treat the Jews according to their Holocaust. But I'm glad you talked about the work the slaves did I don't know my ancestors on this property
That is a beautiful house? but it irritates me about how they glorify the owner. He was a slave owner, slaves built the frkn house and worked the land tel tell the real bad with the phony good.
If they tell history they are "glorifying: it. If they didn't talk about slavery you would say they are "glossing over or white washing." please STOP attacking historians just because you don't like the history. You're attacking the messenger you idiot.
@@ednakelley814 Edna, it is not necessarily what you say but how you say it. You can tell history - the whole truth of history - but tell it in a way that respectfully, truthfully, and honestly presents what actually happened. You do not have to eliminate the stories of all of the people who made this plantation and history possible.
@@lisarice9337 Did you read my comment? If they do talk about slavery they get accused of "glorifying it" and if they don't talk about it they accuse them of "white washing or glossing over" it. So they are labelled racist if they do and racist if they don't. Historians are constantly attacked in the political correct world we live in today and I'm sick of it. The bottom line is that they can't go after the guilty because they are dead so they go after historians and historic sites who are NOT the guilty parties. It's an easy target when you run on emotions only instead of facts. I KNOW. I use to work at a historic house and was attacked by a guest in front of a tour like I was the slave master. They simply attacked me, the messenger! It's crazy and as a historian I'm on a campaign to stand up for historians and historic sites alike who are constantly attacked by the Political correct left. History is NOT Politically correct. It is what it is.
Beautiful home, informative doc.unfortunately yet another romantic portrayal of plantation life. These beautiful homes and vast wealth were built by brutally exploitation of captive humans. Whistle walk? Captive children forced to serve that were made to whistle while serving so that they were unable to eat. Stop making these plantation owners sound like entrepreneurs and inovators,they were monsters who obtained there wealth thru the misery of others.
This guy's rather loose with some of his stuff. @21:23 he shows the cotton cards which are used to comb out cotton fibers for spinning saying "this was before the cotton gin was invented". Wrong. It was invented in 1793, decades before this plantation was established. @25:25 he refers to a pap dish for feeding babies mentioning formula which was not not around at that time. Any baby not breast fed by it's mother would have been wet nursed. Pap dishes or boats were for early food introduction of pap, a slurry of bread with milk or water, or porridge type stuff. And there were baby bottles of sorts dating back centuries. Just didn't have the tech for rubber nipples.
this presenter made slavery appear as it was a simple fete for slaves: who cleared the land or he inside where .. who is he??? what did the slaves endure for you to carelessly present this vid isnt Florida wehre they fed slave children to alligators as bait?? sir you sound as if slavery was a pleasantry for all involved 10-11 yr old slaves boys who would eat along the walk hmm guess they were pretty happy to be dealt with if they ate any of the food for the sweet slaves owners you would have been one who knew who to treat your slaves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree 100% Obryietta. I'm from Manatee County and my (white) mom played a big part as a daughter of the confederacy. I hope to become involved in correcting the historical narrative of the historical sight that was built by slaves who were tortured, raped and regarded as subhuman. I wonder if the slave burial grounds have ever been located? I'm also looking for the 1860 Manatee Slave Schedule with the hopes of at least identifying some of the slaves so that a memorial can be built there. It's all very shameful but needs to come to light.
I think you are being too hard on the people who run this site, Obyrietta and Rebecca. Slave history is buried deeper and takes much longer and is more expensive to uncover and present than plantation owner history. Sites like the Hermitage in Nashville, TN and Monticello in VA do know and present the individual slave history. Even at sites like these, where the presenters own all of the original land and the plantation was in operation for decades; in their early years, all they had to present was easy to find information about the plantation owner and a tour of the owner's house. The plantation in this presentation only operated for 15 years, and the land where the slaves worked may already be covered with modern development. If it's possible to uncover the slave history of this site, the state will eventually do it. Just give them a few more decades.
Very informative but quit calling them slaves they are kidnap victims torture victims rape victims not slaves Tor ignore that fact would mean that you would probably compromise yourself no matter who got hurt family friends others just keeping it real again good video there I have said that
They are using the same term Fredrick Douglas used. Was Douglas wrong? Stop trying to grasp straws in a search to attack a historian. Your beef is with people who died over 160 years ago not a modern historian.
I would buy that n turn it into a homeless shelter for indegenous familes. N that includes the mother father n children of color n put a bubble blower on top n blow bubbles for peace n love not stealing n labor some ppl are going to have to have a serious talk with GOD n thats real talk
