I think with we have to stop referring to our ancestors as slaves. Our ancestors were “enslaved” against their will. So we need to refer to them as “the enslaved.” Thank you.

[@kiiarax4685]

that’s literally the same thing. they were enslaved.. so that made them slaves. all you did was change it from a noun to an adjective.

We are African Americans direct descendant's of slaves. Real simple ADOS. As far as I am concern the term enslaved and slaves are interchangeable. Just as African-American/Blacks or Irish American/White, Polish American, Italian-American, etc.

It was those before us (we choose to change our name not white folks, if it was left to them we would still be call Negro) who use the term Colored, Blacks and African-American we choose.

As a kid, I remember houses like these. Some white folks still referred to them as the slave quarters or the slave shacks, and they still housed black people as late as 1970. They were lined up along a dirt road behind the B&B Big House (the old plantation mansion) where I stayed for one summer. The people living in those shacks still did the same work they had always done. I ate at the smoky Black Shack because it had the food I liked: fried catfish, fried chicken, BBQ ribs, black-eyed peas, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, biscuits, etc. The white operator wouldn't accept my business, because it was for black folks only. However, the blacks bought the food for me, and one time when I was low on money, an old black man paid for my dinner entirely. Now I have to pass on his generosity forever.

[@carolynsteele1465]

My paternal grandmother was the daughter of a line of slaves. She told us younger generation the stories of her parents. As a child, she lived on land that belonged to the old slave master. She referred to him as "Old Marse," which meant "Old Master." So, my grandmother, who was born 133 years ago, saw slave owners with her own eyes. Even though slavery was said to have ended in 1865, African Americans endured Jim Crow, meager wages, debt peonage, and often unfair sharecropping among other disadvantages. Many lived in the old slave shacks as they worked on the plantations after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Thank you for sharing this video. I think all our younger generations need to learn more about our history. I think all the slave houses should be left and not torn down or hid. Because this is what happened in history and should not be hid or forgotten. These were our Ancestors.

[@angelarh2908]

I grew up in a home very similar to that which was left to my grandma from her grandmother ( my great great grand) located in Huntsville Texas and set 1/2 a mile from the penitentiary. We were told that my great great great grands received their 40 acres and a mule in which the house was then built. It still sits on the land but with tons of trees growing over it. The younger generation are so wrapped up in their lives that no one wants to invest in the up-keep. However, it’s formed around a massive about of history. History seems to be forgettable when our grands and great grands leave this world.

[@savinghistory642]

The new truth is that no one got 40 acres and a mule.

From Louisiana here. It was a horrible time in our history. I have alot of black cousins showing up in my ancestry on the diff sites. I have had to give information to some of them that made me sick when I started digging deep. Like my ggg grandfather having a child, most likely, with his 12 yr old slave. He went onto care for the family and buy them a home. That signals to guilt imo not kindness. Like some ppl try to portray. This child went on to have 6 more mullato children before 18. Maybe he didn’t do it, maybe it was a son of his or brother but it went on and it’s sick. As a woman I cannot imagine having that happen to me so young and have 7 children by someone that I had to obey.

The lower floors showed the horrors, the slave ships, cuffs that looked too small and other terrible things. They had full sized slave quarters set up. They didn't have doors, since the enslavers felt free to come in any time. Very moving. Everyone should visit. And the cafeteria was fantastic.

Almost every civilization in history was enslaved at on point or another. The Spaniards by the Moors, English by the Arabs, Africans by Africans, and slavery exists today. Africans do not talk about slavery in Africa. What's done is done and we cant go back in time and corect that. may our Father in Heaven give all people that suffered everlasting freedom and peace. We as a country need to unite as AMERICANS, no race, no color, JUST AS AMERICANS. There are very difficult times ahead of us and if we do not move forward as one and let the past go, we will all find ourselves saying Yes Marse, in CHINESE, RUSSIAN, OR ARAB. or maybe all three. Live free or live in the past. We cannot do both.

[@Mista_Terrific81]

@@therealchamp3348 African's do talk about slavery in Africa. Slavery in Africa was not chattel slavery. Chattel slavery is unique to western europeans/white Americans. Also, it was Europeans choice to bring the enslaved to the Americas. That being said Africans back in the day were responsible for allowing Europeans to negotiate deals/purchasing their war captives, however, once those people were purchased they were at the mercy of the Europeans. Thats the point that I think a lot of white Americans deliberately forget. An example of this that is what you said, "Africans don't talk about slavery in Africa" . You all want AA's to sweep what happened to us under the rug. Not happening.......we may agree upon one thing though, is that the past should not be an excuse not to take advantage of the modern opportunities.

Beautiful sis! Salom Alaikum! Moms ppl from Carolina and I used to live sitting at my grandmas feet listening to stories of olden days.

Heartbreaking... And this nation believes just because they gave us Barack Obama, that was recompense. SMH. America could never pay us back. If those trees could talk, my... What a story they would tell us!!

[@YenkoAfrica]

Hi Naturally Amazing! You are absolutely correct! I laugh and smh @ the "We gave you Obama" comments. Oh Yes, if those trees could talk they would tell a story. I will be uploading another short vid where I talk about the Moss on the trees and how they remind me of our people. Thanks very much for viewing and adding to the discussion. YAH bless you!

[@naturallyamazing2197]

@@YenkoAfrica yes sis.. makes me almost cry seeing your video. But it's very educational and necessary. We must never forget! It does not mean we hate anyone, it's our history our story.. told our way . Good footage. Lord bless . Shalom

[@YenkoAfrica]

[@MariE-bz2eq]

Obama doesn't even share that history that you have. He doesn't really count

[@gmmg8078]

Thank you for the prayer you included. God bless them.

[@Dropthebassfodayz]

[@pksavior]

those are call sweet grass basket is even known today on the Coast of SC all the way down the South East coastal Georgia

[@hannahhernandez2819]

Even my bedroom is bigger than that house this is so sad and awful all because a man don't want to work for themselves they enslaved others and people still want to treat people this way to this day

[@marythibodeau3085]

[@brick4hbrick235]

I’m from SC deep in the country and man now that I think about it all these old house we use to play in growing up might have been slave housing 🧐😧. But I’m not gonna lie you can real life feel the presence and how strong spirited inside of these houses is

[@RestorationEdenMinistries]

Wow.... that's no room at all! Sheesh. Those trees are beautiful but I can understand your sentiment. I can only imagine the feeling of being there. Thanks for sharing on your other channel post. 💕

[@YenkoAfrica]

Hi Sis! It is always good to see and hear from you. Yes, those trees are beautiful and the grounds where they are located is very beautiful. Thank you so much for your support of this channel. I appreciate you! Blessings!

[@RestorationEdenMinistries]

@@YenkoAfrica Hellerrrr!! Aww thanks Sisty! I can imagine. It looks like it holds a lot of memories and atmosphere that resonates. I'm gonna subscribe. There's things I need clarity about our ppl and I am coming up with some holes in narratives. I still trust your voice and gift AND INTEGRITY daughter of Yah. I know He'll bring it and perhaps use you to fill in some of those blanks. I appreciate and love you. Shalom.

[@YenkoAfrica]

Hi Sis, Sorry that I am just replying. Yes to all that you have said. I am also humbled and thank YAH for His Ruach that speaks to, in and through you. Thank you for your love, kindness and support that you have shown over the years. I am most appreciative of your unfeigned nature and the consist fruit of Christ Spirit demonstrated through you. You don't come across that very often, especially on Social media. Medaase. Thank you.

Visited one in the mid 90's and I have a pic of tears rolling down my face as I stood inside looking out of the only window. Dirt floor, wood stove were the two things there in room about 10x10. The spirit/atmosphere in the room was heavy!

[@marybailey8490]

thank you for sharing...

[@lisaanngarrison7794]

I'm quite sure there are many spirits still on those grounds. I would love to come take some pictures. They usually show up on film.

[@barbarabuford5795]

If they can live through that, surely We can survive and thrive through THIS- whatever the 'this' is in your life, (poverty, depression, death in the family, disease, loneliness, being talked about, lied upon, innocent and being thown in jail, and so on... even Covid!). Surely 'We' Can take up the banner, and with God, ...'GO ON'! 🙏

[@Javiertorres-k10]

Indeed sister!!

[@Carolinas_SweetTea]

This was so interesting and fascinating! And thanks for throwing out James chapter 5. That's something new for me to read cause I never have before! I wonder what happened to all the handmade baskets and items they made and things they used and slept on and how they ate. Wow thanks for sharing

[@johncrouch1772]

Thanks for sharing.

[@YenkoAfrica]

You're welcome! Thank you for viewing.

[@Thegardenofeden24]

My ancestors from Ghana landed in Surinam,and when they saw the abuse ,they took off to the deepest forest and were never caught.They called them the Marroons. I AM IN THE USA and I still speak the African dialects and Dutch.Those houses look like the houses from the village that were build for the marroons after slavery because the Dutch had to build a dam.The white Dutch(Netherlands)people are kindhearted and they love blackwoman.
