Рет қаралды 33,823
Күн бұрынWhile passing through Louisiana, I quickly stopped and toured the Rosedown home in St. Francisville, Louisiana. I spent about two hours there and took the guided home tour. The main home was completed in 1835 by slave labor. Today, the home contains a large amount of original furnishings and items throughout. In this video I will share with you a sampling of what was told by the tour guide during the tour. Visit the official website for more information.

@@amyoverhere 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?

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 😥

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

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

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.

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 🤨
