I love history and only could imagine a day in the life of what went on there.

[@amyhanz]

Same. Very interesting to ponder.

[@marisolvalez4719]

Yea if you were white all good ,but if you wasn't then you a slave treated like crap

[@elisemiller13]

@@amyhanz Well, let's see. At least you mentioned the word slavery in your video...as this plantation had several hundred enslaved people on it's lush grounds, creating for them their fortunes of cotton. I'm white, but have major empathy toward what life was like for those owned by others. I know you didn't participate, but would it hurt to mention something more about those on whose backs this U.S. was actually built?

[@tinydancer867]

@@elisemiller13 How about instead of demonizing America for our Amazing history, you should research what truly took place with slaves here and blame others as well. Seems like the coloreds are oblivious to the FACT that the African people themselves would capture & kidnap the weaker tribes and keep slaves for themselves and then bring them to the shores for Americans and many others to buy. So how about blaming the true source of America’s slavery which is the Africans themselves selling there own people to not only us Americans, but all over the world. In fact, the Africans sold twice as many slaves to Brazil than America. Not to mention the colored men in the South back then were slave owners themselves. In fact, the first LEGAL slave owner was Anthony Johnson of Virginia. William Ellison owned a large plantation with about 800 slaves in South Carolina and was even wealthier than his white neighbors who also owned slaves and plantations. He was well respected. In fact, at one point, 1/3 of the ppl of color in New Orleans Louisiana were slave owners themselves and even signed up to fight for the Confederacy. In case you didn’t know, slavery had been around for centuries before the black Africans came to America and we were the Couple that stamped out slavery in the least amount of years out of every other Country & Continent. I’m so sick of hearing that blacks here are “victims”! They should be thankful they ended up here bc the White men created America the best Country in the world which gives blacks more opportunities and freedoms than any other place. And I’d say that MY ancestors who over 2 dozen fought in the Civil War for the Union loosing life and limb along with the other many white men who were all the ones taking bullets for slaves freedoms are owed way more respect and recognition that Freed slaves and my ancestors should be praised and are actual HEROES for freeing the slaves. My ancestors and the brave white men who fought that war to benefit coloreds should be celebrated, and recognized for there sacrifices way more than the slaves who didn’t spend much time here as slaves and had it made in America unlike in Africa! So no, ppl who have slave ancestors should be thanking us who’s ancestors fought to free them and our families should get reparations over the ppl of ancestors that were slaves bc we gave yall freedom, the best Country in the world and all we get is sh*t on! If you’re so emotional about our past, you’re free to leave! My Ancestors on my dad’s side in fact owned sugarcane Plantations and over 800 slaves on our Island in the Caribbean of Saba which is still owned by us today! And I’m PROUD of my ancestors who were smart businessmen who owned those slaves! I have ZERO guilt and shame. And I’m proud! Get over the victim status

I'm amazed at the technology and sophistication of the times..1830s..I've been there twice to appreciate the people and the history of it ...Different world- different people...

Yes, the sophistication of the slaves who built it

Absolutely. Thanks for watching.

Beautiful home..the real sadness was for the enslaved humans, shocking amidst such beauty 😢

Beautiful! What a lovely tour of the grounds.

Thank you. It was so fun touring the home.

Beautiful home.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful home! I just subscribed ❤️

[@amyhanz]

Welcome and thank you so much! Old homes and the history they hold are so interesting to me.

[@heather7433]

@@amyhanz I agree!

[@VintageConversation]

I have visited this home on a couple of occasions, but not in recent years. However, I can attest to its beauty and appreciate being a visitor back in the day pre-gift shop era

[@verahinnant8021]

I have been there. It's a beautiful home.

[@Pinkguming]

I am torn between the beauty and tragedy of this beautiful home. Along with thousands of other homes with this history. The PEOPLE responsible for building this homes staircase, in turn were NOT allowed to even use it! What a humiliated state of being or NOT being! If I were here I would be enslaved to work FOR LIFE FOR FREE 😥

[@amyhanz]

Absolutely. The house is beautiful but the history is a terrible tragedy. Really appreciate your comment.

[@joy7218]

It would be nice if you could walk up the small stairs

[@ninakerstetter579]

The history is what it is, the good, the bad & the ugly. It is America’s story and should be understood by all.

[@polly8844]

@@ninakerstetter579 I agree with you. It is what it is, and all the world should know it, as it was!

Where is this home located. I enjoyed the experience

[@amyhanz]

St Francisville, LA

[@vernabryant2894]

The first year I was married 58 years ago we rented an old farm house that doctor build.It was built before thr Civil War. It had fireplaces and a pretty stair case.They ended up tearing the house down.

[@amyhanz]

Oh, wow, how interesting. I would have loved to see it.

[@toriblocker3238]

The place is beautiful, it needs some Spanish moss removal before all the trees that line the driveway will be dead. Some of them are not far from dying, that would be sad.

[@bethelle9099]

I fast forwarded through some of this. We're those oak trees? Quite an amazing sight!!!

[@polly8844]

Thank you for giving us a complete history including the slaves contributions.

[@marilynbennett533]

Beautiful. But slavery was an abomination. And it would not be be that magnificent if not for slaves.

[@sunniertimer598]

They would hire people instead. Either way, the wealthy will still be surrounded by the best.

[@derricklangford4725]

The slaves weren't allowed to use the beautiful staircase in the front entry, which they did a lovely job building it. That's so Cringe 🤨
