Thank you so much for this virtual tour. It is a good idea you have thought of for us who are in other countries and cannot afford a personal tour.

Beautiful house ... thing is those gilded age industrialists were ruthless people who were responsible for all kinds of horror against the ordinary people.... It is amazeing that more of them were not killed by some of their victims ... Calling a person an Anarchist misses the important point that revolutions are usually justifiable reactions to abuse and terror...

Why did wealthy Americans imitate the British nobility when they could buy them out of house and home? A sense of inferiority? A sense of status? It still comes across as slightly cheesey. THere are country clubs that are like this today, very cheesey in an American context for some reason.

I think they did feel inferior, hence the rush to traffic their daughters over to penniless English aristocrats as "dollar princesses", just so they could essentially buy a title for their family. It was really quite pathetic, as was a lot of the other things they did, like massacring workers.

I stood alone in the bedroom of one of the biggest Union busters in history. The tour moved on to his wife's bedroom. I touched one of his hairbrushes with the tip of my finger. It was chilling. The house was lovely. I felt sad that all the beauty around me was acquired on the backs of working people.

America would Not BE WHAT IT IS TODAY. All you see is wealth and completely disregard the contribution that these men made. Also, when you talk about extreme wealth, remember there was no personal income tax in this Country when these men BECAME wealthy.

The people we should actually thank for all that building of America is the. workers he had shot, they did the actual work, this fat ass piece of shit just separated them from the suits of their labour, and then massacred them. Some hero you have, you must be fun at parties. Remember, the degenerate rich human sacks of trash at the heads of these companies don't get their hands dirty or do any actual work, it's the people below them that make 5000% less in wages that actual make anything possible. Without workers Frick would be a nobody, he's a useless cow pat and for what he did to those people, he's probably burning in hell as we speak.

Frick was a greedy industrialist and the gofer of Dale Carnegie's as Carnegie did not have the balls to do things for himself, so playing the bad guy Frick did what he had to do, to keep the money in their pockets to keep there employees poor and of low self-esteem. Much like the government is being run today. And they will murder you to keep the money in tow. In short Carnegie and Frick where nothing more than Greedy Murdering industrialistsp. Their legacy is shameful at best. And everything acquired in this whole home acquired on the backs of his employees. That is exactly why they stopped the Union so they could funnel the Union money and keep it where it belonged, in Carnegie and Fricks pockets. Capitalism at its finest. Carnegie and Frick were not good people at heart.

You claim that because of these 2 men Capitalism is bad. Any idea how stupid you sound? I love how you libs criticize Capitalism but you never leave to go to socialist or communist places. Capitalism has given us an unprecedented standard of living. The only downside of Capitalism is it generates a generation of ungrateful and spoiled losers too stupid to know and appreciate its great benefits and accomplishments. Good grief.
@ianboard5444 жыл бұрын
Actually, that's not quite accurate. Frick started a coke business, upon which Carnegies steel company was dependent. Carnegie bought him out and kept him on as a manager (lack of empathy aside, he was an able executive).

With each new mansion I 'tour' I lose a lot of respect for the so called elite. They lived in splendor to the point of excess while the masses suffered. Frick is just one example of their complete lack of empathy and compassion for their fellow man.

Back when there were unions, in the 40s/50s/60s, there were living wages and the buying power of a dollar, even adjusting for inflation, was a lot higher then than it was today. What my dad could buy with a dollar compared to what I can buy, was a lot more. Now wages are way behind cost of living and buying power is at an all-time low in most developed western countries. Yeah, unions sure are awful though, hope we don't bring them back, wouldn't want people to be fairly compensated and be able to afford basic needs like food and shelter on one job. Really, it's for the best that people en masse are deciding not to have kids because it's too expensive even with two professional salaries. There are too many people on this planet anyway, you know?

Ahhhhh.......NO. Is this some post-revisionist history on your part?? The COWARD in question, frick sent industry thugs (pinkerton) to shoot and kill UNION workers who had all the right in the world to strike. They were repeatedly told by the Strikers not to cross over into Homestead. The thugs sent by frick opened fire on the unarmed strikers who quickly retaliated and handed them their asses. Even the coward's boss (carnegie) was appalled by his lackey's actions and fired him immediately.

I forgot about that!! Frick was ruthless!! Let's celebrate a home that was paid for with blood. As a historian and somebody who tours these types of places, I'm always interested in the servants quarters or the slave quarters. That type of thing... The Biltmore Estate is laughable too! Yes, I have toured that pile too! Again, I was more interested in the servant quarters! Now, Monticello? That is a beautiful home/ estate!! But again, I was interested in the slave quarters! I do have a soft spot for Thomas Jefferson! Who knows? He might have married Sally Hemmings had he lived in the 21st century? Then again, he promised his wife he would never marry again. So he probably would have had a committed relationship with Sally, had his children w her and not have gotten remarried? We will never know? Frick is a prick!
