Uncover the history of the hidden communities that inhabited the Great Dismal Swamp in North America.
--
Straddling Virginia and North Carolina is an area that was once described as the “most repulsive of American possessions.” By 1728, it was known as the Great Dismal Swamp. But while many deemed it uninhabitable, recent findings suggest that a hidden society persisted in the Swamp until the mid-1800’s. So, who lived there? And what happened to them? Dan Sayers uncovers a lost civilization.
Lesson by Dan Sayers, directed by Tomás Pichardo-Espaillat.

It is rather amazing to think about the great lengths humans can go in order to ensure their freedom, even if it means creating a whole society in the middle of a swamp!

I lived in the swamp for 17 years of my life (before moving away). I lived on clay hill Road, 2 min away from the entrance to the lake Drummond trail. It is a place unlike any other, and everyone should at least visit the refuge once in their life, it's a spiritual and natural sight that you won't regret visiting.

I don't think it's much of a mystery. Life was undoubtedly a hot humid mosquito h3ll everyday But that just goes to show the lengths people are willing to go to escape enslavement, because they knew being owned would have been much worse.

In the 16th and 17th century many of the original Mennonites settled in the swampy lowland areas of the Netherlands, eastern Prussia and eventually in the 18th century in swampy lowland areas of Russia Swamps were always safe places to go when being persecuted. And when drained, they are very productive farm land
