Today's adventure takes us to the historic Jarrell Plantation in Juliette, Georgia. This is a self guided tour of the old historic plantation grounds and buildings.
I was actually there this morning to work on there newer steam boiler they have. It’s in a small building behind the old brick boiler house. They do demonstrations they were telling me of the mills. Very neat place.
Thank you so much. I don't necessarily go into any historical info that happened back then, just mainly to show the actual buildings that remain and read the placards where I go. I leave the historical facts and info to others.
SO COOL!!! My Grandmother (my Mom's Mom) was a Jarrell. We are from Southern Mississippi but I think our line came from Georgia in the late 1700's to early 1800's.
Actually that's a pie safe @ 17:00. My mother has one and she uses it as a china cabinet too. I love it out there in Juliette GA. I live in Ga.and we have been out there where they made the movie Fried Green Tomatoes a couple of times. My husband used to hunt out there too. He'd be picked to go hunting at the Piedmont hunt that they had each year. That was a long time ago. I love the farm and all the history. I didn't know about all of this. BTW, those nats have been terrible the past three summers now. They are frustrated.
I wasn't raised up in the country. But I am not a "city boy" either. I grew up in a couple of small towns. I am not as familiar with some of the old antique pieces of pioneer furniture as to what they would have been properly called. But I have heard of "pie safes" and with your comment, I do recall this term from seeing these cabinets in years past. Thanks for the info.
They cooked down sugar cane sap to make molasses. That process goes back at least to the 1700’s when slaves were bought to grow, harvest and and boil down sugar cane. England became wealthy from these plantations on the Caribbean islands. The islands supported the slave trade because the slaves were worked to death or died from disease pretty quickly.
The Jarrells held 42 enslaved people before the Civil War. You never once mentioned that they would have done the bulk of the work on the plantation until that time. You often used the pronoun “they” wrongly implying that the Jarrells had down their own labor. Shame on you! As southern did eighty years ago you have given a distorted history of southern life. Someone will have to deconstruct your “recreated” history. I was encouraged by your references to Christian faith. I doubt that your God and mine would approve of this distortion. Those slaves were children of God too.
First of all, I am sorry that you feel as you do about my video. I am not the type of person to go into great detail about things in my videos. I don't do research before making them. That is NOT the point of my videos. I am not a historian and I am not a teacher. My videos are not to give historical documentation about things pertaining to slaves or anything of that nature. I think slavery was wrong and I don't agree with what happened well over 100+ years ago. But what happened, happened. I live 150+ years after the days of slavery and I am not one to continually rehash it up as so many seem to do. There was no distortion in my video. I did not attempt to mislead anyone. I merely videoed the plantation and did my best to describe the buildings as I saw them and also by reading any placards there. While I was there, I never once thought of slavery. That was as I stated, not my point. I am rather new to doing videos about whatever subject matter that interests me. But I will not be giving true historical accounts of things such as slavery and negative things such as that. I go to places and talk about the actuality of the places themselves; NOT the things that happened there many years prior. Again, I am sorry that you seem offended by my video, but your feelings are your own, not mine. It is NOT my intention to hurt or offend anyone. I don't talk about nor discuss the evil of slavery in my videos, even if it was prevalent at that time in history. I hope you will kindly continue to watch my videos and please continue to comment. I have done the best I can to explain myself and my video here. I hope you understand. But if you choose to not watch me any longer, that is your choice. Just know that I NEVER upload a video with the intent to hurt or offend anyone Yes, I am a Christian man of God and that is why I referred to God in my video. But I am also not a perfect man either. Good day and God bless.
I don’t think people expect you to be a historian if you are not. But the simple acknowledgement of human beings that helped build and support that plantation against their own will is definitely worthy of a mention. Stating facts is not rehashing the past but being honest and for some people the past ills still play a major role in their current lives. You have a right to put whatever you want on your channel but I encourage you to better understand the depths of southern plantation life and acknowledge ALL who played a role. Not mentioning it because you want to forget the past and it does not feel good still won’t make the facts go away. Be blessed.
@@reneeloveatl My videos as I stated are NOT from a historical point of view nor do I comment on things of the past that happened there. My videos tell strictly about the locations and buildings that remain. Nothing more. NO history, no discussing slavery or who built what or who was a slave and who was not. You are correct, I do have the right to include what I want in my videos and exclude what I do not want in them. I choose to exclude any discussions or comments pertaining to slavery. I was born and raised here in the south and I know enough about slavery that I choose not to rehash it and discuss it because it was WRONG! Discussing it and continually rehashing it and bringing attention to it will not change the past either. I say to you as I said to the other guy that gave a similar comment above. I don't discuss slavery and I don't continually rehash it up as some people do. I discuss and show the actual buildings and describe them as best as I can and read the placards when available. I would like for you to continue to watch my videos when I upload them and comment. But if this one video here has offended you in any way, that is your feelings not mine. I never set out to offend anyone. My videos are for entertainment purposes and for enjoyment only; not to discuss anything of historical content. If you choose not to watch anymore of my videos that's your choice. Good day.
You're attacking a person who simply made a history video for the sin of slavery. Shame on you. He IS NOT responsible. Your virtue signaling is seen by all. Where is your video on slavery? SHAME on you for not telling their story on a video. See I can use the same logic on you. I'm sure if he did menation slavery you wouild accuse of him of gloryfing it. Can't have it both ways.
I am sorry if I was going too fast. But all you have to do is pause the video and you can read the placards. It actually extends the videos too long, if I kept the camera rolling on each placard long enough to read them as the video continues. That's why I try to tell everyone to pause the videos and read the info. Sorry for any inconvenience.
