Why didn't you mention anything about slavery? I myself have visited and I know they had a lot of slaves, hence the wealth, be good to hear the whole story.

There is so much to see in this country and especially in Virginia. Love your passion for history! Again, you do a great job with these. Love the authenticity of them. Rock on!

Just look at what Blacks built! Half of the Carter family was probably Black. That's how it worked on those plantations. They were all mixing with each other. Just imagine what life must have been like for the slaves. The film guy did a good job showing us the scenery of the plantation.

@@margarettickle9659, usually bricks were made on site by enslaved people. Most often, enslaved people made the bricks AND built the houses. Personally, I wish those relaying history would give credit where credit is due.
