Yes. The reach helped minimize the amount of time the truck was on the lawn. The yard was rutted up a little, but it could have been so much worse.

How many people were killed in Chicago last weekend? I’m not a proponent of slavery in any form, but MORE people are being killed today in “Urban Centers” than in the years of this plantation. Sad…

It is amazing to me how these videos always focus on the story of how well the slave owners lived! However, many historians today advocate for calling these places “labor camps” or “slave labor camps” or "forced labor camps" rather than “plantations,” in order to avoid hiding the truth of what really happened in these agricultural operations using forced labor. The story is not told about how the plantation owners became so wealthy and able to build these homes nor how the enslaved people were whipped, raped, and treated as livestock.

This is the second video I've seen of a tour of this home from The Skeleton Key movie. 2025 will be the 20 year anniversary of the movie and I'm hoping to travel to New Orleans to go on this tour. I was in New Orleans in 1993 on a business trip and loved it. Thank you so much for this video!

Thank you for this video. I enjoy your videos on plantations. It's purely from an economic perspective, and the culture of the deep South. Dr. B have you visited any countries in Africa, particularly, in the rural regions? Recently, I viewed a video of a plantation filmed by an African. I asked him, what were his thoughts on slavery in America. I explained that I travel the world and in some countries, housemaids and laborers (whether agriculture, construction, salesmen, etc.) receive in wages, approximately $500 or less per month. Their average working hours range from 12-16 hours a day. All the labor come from poor countries. Their salaries are calculated, including room & board as well as transportation to and from work. The working conditions can easily become abusive for many reasons including: language barriers (people are coming from foreign countries all over the world, especially, domestic workers), tasks are not done properly, sexual abuse, and some come with mental disorders: mild retardation, mild Downs Syndrome, slow learners and depression. Agencies charge $2,650 including airfare for each laborer and visa costs. The contract is for 2 years. Personally, I have seen the homes of a couple of workers from other countries. They were beyond abysmal. A well rundown hovel. My question for you to ponder, would black folks feel the same way about slavery; if they had received even a pittance salary? Does it come down to being abducted and forced to live and work in a foreign land without pay or leave? Originally, the slave traders were Africans from the Ivory Coast area. Or does it ultimately relate to your skin color? As I write this, I fully understand all the injustices that black people have suffered. However, at what point do you say, there will always be prejudice, in the same manner that there will always be poor (Bible). I am grieved that some folks cry foul if they don't get what they want, and claim - racism. It has become the prevalent excuse in all matters. It bothers me. I'm thinking if some had never in their lives become prejudice against blacks, maybe, they will be now if they are bumped from entering specific colleges or jobs; due to reaching the mandated 'quota'. Do you think affirmative action is still required in 2024? Don Lemon was sacked from CNN for continuously reprimanding white folks for slavery - going on 250 years. He harassed people on air by saying, "You are not black, so you don't know..." Police brutality is real towards blacks. It is unfathomable that some people think they can defy the police only on the basis that they are black. And they are still dying. If you know it's a snake, why would you mess with it?! My point is this, I have seen unequal treatment of all kinds of folks including women, all over the world. I have seen the most downtrodden rise up and become hugely successful, because it was in his/her will to do so. I believe in God, all things are possible. I have seen lazy, bemoaning folks who feel they are entitled, just because... To be absolutely honest with you, I am tired of black folks complaining of prejudice. Do I not have the right to dislike you because you are obnoxious or aggressively on the attack over the smallest infraction? You can demand nothing from me; unless, I work for you. You might wonder, what does this have to do with a plantation. It was a working farm. It had everything to do with economics, international trade, tariffs and politics. Most people lose sight of that. I simply wanted to understand your thoughts.
