I think you mis an important point about Savannah and secession. Stephens noted how the South was being dutied unfairly which sapped much of the revenue and economic strength by D.C. The part in his speech of "building bridges in Connecticut " is recalled. Also, Savannah was not built by slave labor. It was not a Maroon community. Both white snd blacks who owned slaves, free labor (freedmen included) and day labor Irish. I stopped half way through because the presentation seemed "predictable." And the guy who said the South was "white pride." Tipped the cart. Overall a Myopic prezi.

This is an excellent historical account that serves well to present the backdrop of my new historical novel, The Last Laird of Sapelo--telling the Spalding legacy on Sapelo Island as war becomes inevitable in 1861. I highly recommend folks to watch this video as a prelude to reading the novel. I am thankful to share this video with my followers and readers.

@@tmbrownauthor I'm going to get it. I first heard of the Spalding family in Eugenia Price books & heard the name since in connection with GA history so I will find your book interesting! Thx for replying.

The relationships between owners and slaves has never been told truthfully in films or documentries. It's more complicated when dealing with daily interpersonal long term relationships. Keep in mind that slavery and slaves have been worldwide and of different ethnicities and though strange and bad in our modern eyes it was accepted as normal in past societies since ancient times. That's not an excuse just a fact. And the brutality that did exist in the larger plantations with absentee landlords especially in the industrial huge rice, cane,and cotton plantations was different from thst in small farms and plantations. There are instances where slaves were freed, given land, or even taught trades and to read and allowed to keep part of their earnings. Again it's strange to us but factual.

Good video. However, language in Narrative matters; Savannah was constructed using slave labor; not "built by slaves" many talents contributed to its layout , surveying, material purchace etc.

Why are these Northerners pretending to be Southerners. Didn't hear not one real Savannah accent. This is an obvious psyop.

Naw my dude , I'm a third generation Savannahian. The accent is there the native Savannahians got pushed out to the outskirts, even the gullah geechee..most ppl that live in the 22 squares are from up north now . The degatory term we call them is carpetbaggers...

@@coleycole5344 the only way to preserve it , is for locals to start buy property in the historic district. Keep it localized even our mayor is from NY. He has already changed names of one of the squares. And kick SCAD out to 😂

“Old South Savannah” is now basically the old families of Effingham (Guyton, Clyo, Ebenezer, etc)… Some are still shadows in Chatham County, but are fading away. 1989 was the last of the era of old south in Savannah… the best St. Pattys day parade!
