Plantations of Charleston, SC

[@joannapratt1301]

Charleston is the most magnificent place I've ever been.

going on Wednesday!

[@blairywarren]

It is a pretty home Beautiful craftsmanship and landscape. Sad history of anyone that was a slave in any part of history.

[@dolemite72]

Beautiful...but think of the child rape, murder, torture, soul stripping humiliation when you visit. Any person who owned, or benefited from the ownership of another human was a despicable, soulless, incarnation of pure evil. Also, getting married on a plantation is the same as getting married on a concentration camp. If you do that, What’s Wrong with your soul?

[@fitzwilliamdarcy5263]

No one murdered, tortured, or was raped on plantations. The historical record has yet to find one, that's a Hollywood figment. In fact, if colonial slave owners hadn't bought African slaves from AFRICAN SLAVE OWNERS and brought them to the U.S., there wouldn't be any Blacks in this country at all (well, besides immigrants). Plantations are where our country's greatest leaders lead cultivated lives with the help of a lower class who were nonetheless cherished and lives. Slavery was inherited from centuries of African tradition. In fact, Africa is the only continent where people are still killed due to their skin color (see Rwanda, black on black crime). I dare say, with rates of Black homicide, poverty, incarceration, drug use, etc., these slaves may have lived better lives than most of the free black populace in modern day!

[@tbowpin7881]

The view , the appreciation the UNDERSTANDING is different based on ethnicity & culture. I’m sure the story line WOULDNT be as beautifully depicted from slaves and their descendants .

[@MikeStrickland-h4p]

Get over it! It is HISTORY! Learn from it or repeat it! You can’t erase it and think it won’t happen again! I am from the south and all the black people I know when we have our Plantation Heritage Tour of Homes are proud to display their ancestors ways back then. They want to be a part of it showing their crafts, art, and style! Gail

[@bingimama]

2:44 literally no mention of the rape murder and brutality on these lands.

[@jklsr55]

punxatawnee How do you know those crimes were committed here?? How about the hundreds of black plantation owners?? History tells us these men were far more brutal to the slaves they owned than many white slave owners. Of course the institution of slavery was abhorrent and wrong. But not all plantations treated their enslaved population with the bloody whip in hand. Very much the opposite in many cases.

[@visiongirl4637]

Jeff Legg it was not very much the opposite in many cases. A slave is a slave. Millions were taken from family and not treated with freedom.

The so call slaves there don't see the same as you do.

[@d.lawrence5670]

Yeah, wealthy whites really did screw over your Irish ancestors. They called it "indentured servitude" but it was really "indentured slavery". The plantation masters knew they couldn't legally enslave white Irish for life, so they worked them viciously until the Irish slaves died. But it's easier for you to forget because you are now integrated into "White America" as one whole group. No cops are beating the crap out of you because you're "Irish". The legacy of black slavery still affects Black Americans today. Witness the despicable racism in the White House or with the white supremacists police force. Just like old times. It's hard to forget when the legacy lives on and racists remind you of it, in one way or another, with their actions. Did you read about that 53-year old white woman who called 911 and said that some black kid in a store tried to sexually molest her? Kid cried his eyes out. Camera and eye witnesses show his backpack merely brushing past him in the store. Woman made a fool of herself. Had to apologize. That's the legacy of slavery. The continuing, ongoing, never-ending white racism. Maybe Black Americans COULD forget, if racist whites didn't keep reminding them over and over. Not sayin' all whites are like that. I happen to know they are NOT ALL like that. But there's enough around (and in the White House) right now to constantly remind blacks of the enduring link between southern racism and it's modern day equivalent. BTW, I read "White Cargo". They really did do your people wrong.

[@minniemouska4320]

Slavery was a shameful chapter in our nation.But when you talk of burning those plantations down, you burn your history as well as the white mans. Sherman’s army burned most of the really big plantations down already, along with the courthouses in every county he passed through. So much information has been lost,lost records of both black and white families. No matter how painful a memory is, it is a link to somebody’s past on both groups

[@ericspencer8093]

I don't care about slavery. History is full of wrongs. But it gave us some beautiful things and places that are worthy of admiration.

[@southernman5839]

We don't know how each and every plantation treated their slaves? Their were good plantation owners that taught trades to these people. I sure a lot of them were treated like family. We are told by people from the North that the South treated their slaves bad while the North owned slaves and didn't free some of theirs until after the war. How can you treat the people that do the work for you bad? They would rebel against you. Don't forget America wasn't the only country that had slaves! There are countries today that have slaves and I don't see anybody getting angry about that!

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

Another fact the media chooses to ignore, the man who owned the highest number of slaves in that time period was another black man. No one seems to talk about that 🤔

[@janetjackson2136]

YOU R A FOOL!

[@akosuapommah9253]

So by inference, you would be happy to be enslaved because slaves were well treated. You would happily work without pay because your master will treat you well. Wow you are very forgiving😮😮😮.

[@southernman5839]

Rusell Shaw How do you know how they treated slaves other than the North claiming that? The North wanted to be the good guys but yet had slaves on their border states and didn’t free them until 1865.
