I just need to pause the video for a moment and say how much I appreciate that you say 'enslaved people' rather than 'slaves'. It makes it clear that this was something done TO them by enslavers, rather than just their state of being. It's a little touch, but it's so important.

[@Tenebarum]

I came here to say that. It’s an important distinction.

[@bradclark2922]

I'm glad you explained that. I would have never guessed that in order to be a slave, they must be enslaved. Such an important distinction that nobody under the second grade would have picked up on without you so eloquently pointing that out. Thank you so much!

@@badasslove The maintenance of a landed gentry has always relied upon the exploitation of the labor of the underclasses, it is a military class that earned its position not through labor but through war. If you do not have the strength of character necessary to subdue and assert your dominion over other men, to exploit their labor for your own benefit, then you are not worthy of such luxuries.

Natchez has such a diverse collection of historic architecture and all of it quite close together. Gloucester is across the road from the most famous of Natchez buildings the unfinished Longwood and down the way from the grand cottage called Hawthorne Place. There are hundreds upon hundreds of such buildings all sitting amongst rolling hills and sunken roads with soaring vines and trailing moss, staggering bluffs and clear bayous. It's haunting.

I live in the West, and so many of our architectural gems are being torn down every day to be replaced with strip malls, tacky apartment buildings and lots of parking lots.🤬 If a building is over 50 years old it’s considered to be ancient and ancient means “get rid of it ASAP!” Surely I’m not the only viewer on this channel that would love to go on such a tour.
