Andrew Low - A Savannah Story | GPB documentaries

[@mgb5170]

I visited Savannah once by myself (I'm a northern girl) and loved it. I felt history all around me, food everywhere was excellent, people so friendly. It had been a highlight of my independent journeys.

I have toured this home & thoroughly enjoyed it ! I had been introduced to the Robert & Eliza Mackay family on through Mary through the books of Eugenia Price. It was nice to see the dining room furniture & learn that it was Eliza's passed on to her granddaughter Mary. Beautiful home, but yes a lot of sadness along with some happiness!

Eugenia Price is my favorite author too. I’ve read all her books that made me feel like family. I had to visit Christ Church cemetery to see their graves

[@lisalemberis5195]

@@sharongauss9298 yes she's mine too! I've been fortunate to have visited Christ church, st Simon's Island, Savannah & many other places she wrote about many times!

Ive been here and took my children. We have been here in GA and NC since before it was state. Absolutely love our history heritage and culture. Growing up with grandparents and great grandparents and learning so much and growing up in our old southern homes and visited many other historic homes was like living in history. We still attended catillion when I was young and miss visiting and luncheons and socializing like we used to do. My husband's family is also from GA since beginning and we have a home and farm here now as well as other places. All my sons have been born and raised here and appreciate its history . Love these kind of videos.

It was nice to watch, as a native East Tennesseen would say, how " the quality" people lived.

Lovely home. We drove our Girl Scout Troop from Maryland and were treated to wearing period dresses, played parlor games, served a lovely tea party with a luncheon. It was quite a different time that our girls weren’t used to! Such a genteel city, friendly people, great food, and original architecture. Love this city except for the heat and mosquitoes !

I lived in Savannah around 1968-70. Enjoyed the history. But many things have changed. Segregation was in full bloom. I remember one business was known as Uncle Sammies boys. I’ve always been a history buff and took full advantage of visiting historical sites. River front with torch lights was. With night clubs and bars was addicting. The food in restaurants was awesome 5stars.. I have since returned but not the same. Best seafood and BBQ was the best I’ve ever had

Impressive verbal machinations designed to avoid self-incrimination and self-awareness around the topic of human thralldom.

They weren't built by him they were built by slaves.

[@barrett7893]

That’s sad that at her wedding she lost her hearing because of rice in her ear. 😢 😞 😢 Because of an infection..

[@breezeyparker]

The best style of life??? I’m sure my ancestors would disagree.

[@marybethmueller7184]

Shocking by the omission of the fact that this "lifestyle" and the Low's wealth are owed to the humans they enslaved

[@nadinesunderland8690]

There was no mention of the people/slaves whose blood and sweat their fancy house was built on. I would prefer to stand in the slave quarters and think about their lives
