Is the Garden Club still around? And do they still hold these events?

No way? My grandmother was in this Travel Talks. She could be identified as the "Third Bridesmaid" in the wedding march.

@@hunterghobadi1269 natchez has unbelievable potential to be an incredible place. Although some of our traditions my be dieing the beauty of this place will endure. Please visit if you ever have the time. Natchez truly is unique. Hope you have a wonderful new year

Absolutely correct. Thank you for your commentary. Also, some southern planters like Randolph (Nottoway Plantation) took a load of slaves and exited the US to begin a new planter life in Brazil who were still a slavery nation.

@@plantationmuscleboy Confederados! I have a friend who has distant relatives who migrated to Brazil after the War. Very interesting stories about the Confederados in Brazil.

Born and raised in natchez, now its far from rich. We've basically lost all pride for natchez anymore after COVID especially.

Natchez trace was a dangerous place back then. 2 serial killers named big Earp and little Earp, several robbers who wld rob travelers also. Was like the interstate of its time

Miss Virginia, it is lovely indeed. Thank you for your comment. Are you a southern belle?

Thank you Sir. Yes, I have been bitten by the charms, scents, splendor, and opulence of plantation life and the pre-War South. If people are offended by history, they should realize that one day in the future, someone is going to be highly offended by their lifestyle today. It is futile to try to change something that is impossible to change. Besides, the analytic reports prove that you and I aren't alone. Feel free to use any of the videos that I've uploaded for any project you have moving forward. My pleasure.

I agree 100% I have a great interest in the old days especially the aristocratic old south

@@littv7509 EXACTLY!

@@billionaire30xyz36 It's mostly fantasy. There was A LOT of poor downtrodden White people back then.

Slavery was 200 years ago. No one alive was there, was a slave or owned a slave. Modern day people need to just realize that this is a part of HISTORY, and move on. We can’t keep fighting the Civil War over and over and over about something that has been abolished for centuries. I think we all agree that the institute of slavery was a terrible thing. History is for people to learn from, not keep repeating. And if you TRULY want to lay the blame, travel to Africa and protest your righteousness to the tribes that captured and sold rival tribes to begin with.

they were well behaved in those days. not the gang-banging, uneducated, welfare-abusing, cap-popping, thuggin', no-good, drug-selling/using, nothing-but-rap-listening types they are today

Omg, I know. I just heard that..... This is just, wow.....

People of color.

What's offensive? That the Slave told you the Truth for once? Yes, your hollywood left wing ideology is at risk with videos of actual Slaves recounting their history.

@@davec1615 The thugs, thieves, robbers, murderers, not to mention traitors, went off to fight the North.

Why do folks like you dismiss the hell your so called magic and wonder presented was for black folk? Even the terms, "mamie," "ol uncle" and "auntie" were terms to convey inferiority. Why not Mrs., Miss ,and Mister?

@@donaldthomas9389 Not every body owned slaves. Good grief. You're so programmed to have an immediate reaction you don't think. They are showing dance, dress, culture and architecture. They are not talking about slavery.

Not if you were black

yeah for white people

@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669 Yeah, they're showcasing arbitrary extravagance fueled by wealth from the slave trade.

Dumbass

Just no that time has long passed & will never be that way again...

Susan Elmer N owadays the institute is painted to make it look horrible. There were some very cruel owners but a majority were in fact treated better than how people perceive it today. I also see no problem with the people of Natchez paying homage to their past, ancestors and the culture of the city. Natchez prides itself as being a city full of historic homes and a southern ‘gem’.

Susan how can you say that>? Those were actual Slaves that said in the pre war South they were the happiest people. Why is it so hard to believe actual people and Slaves that were interviewed at the time? The whipping, beating, slave trading South on TV has nothing to do with the reality that took place at that time.

Pitiful Susan you know nothing about the Real Old South. Just what has been portrayed by Roots, etc.

@@reedsullivan9071 you’re a dumbass

@@chrisallen7911 you sound delusional they had to say that or take the risk of being hung. None of them were Happy to be slaves

Imagine how ecstatic they were when family separations were announced.

Well, when slavery was over, all Blacks were allowed to leave America.Liberia was set up in Africa specifically for freed slaves to return to Africa. And only 1000 slaves wanted to leave. All the rest all chose to stay right here in America. If it was sooo horrible here, they'd be on the boat so fast to get out of here. But they didn't. It's speaks volumes. The slave owners were all democrats. Yet Blacks continue to vote democrat. That speaks volumes.. So don't even try to foment pity.

@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669 please do actual research before you open your mouth, Firstly the boats back to Africa were advertised through paper and they were only produced in a small amount which means not a lot of the word of the boat back to Africa was spread to African Americans not to mention the slaves could not read. Slavery last well over 400 yrs in America that's lots of generations later so the slaves wouldn't even know what part of Africa or the tribe they belong to, also by the African names of African American were erased and the slavemaster wasn't exactly keeping track of who came from where they didn't even keep track of the days they were born so what exactly would they be going back to. you've clearly allowed yourself to be blinded by these forced smiles these slaves had, its much like how the nazi would make the jews smile and pretend concentrations camp were lovely reserves to live on. And as far as the democrats back then they aren't like the democrats now. Most younger black ppl would tell they aren't democrats they are independents as for the older generation they claim that because have not been raised to know other parties exist. You also forget the Party switch, most black after the civil war were republican because it was the party of Lincoln, Martin Luther King was republican himself .But all of this was before the party switch in 1964 when then republican black voters became democrat after democrat President Lyndon B Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act

@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669 to be quite frank the only thing that speaks volumes is your blatant ignorance as a southern black girl I love the south as an art form. The beautiful architecture mixed with the natural scenery is breathtaking and old southern balls, and southern hospitality is one of the great things about the south but to allow those materialistic things keep you from seeing the truth about how things were and how they still are in some areas is just silly and racist

@@namtiddiesnamjesus5052 Your post is simply you regurgitating information told to you. I actually teach history so I know what I'm talking about.Not all were illiterate.Plenty could read. And over 1,000 slaves did leave. And if life was so horrid for them here escaping back to Africa would have been a better alternative no matter what.(That doesn't mean to say any slavery at all is legitimized so do not twist this). Your comment about democrats was pathetic-THAT'S who you should be blaming. Not only are democrats directly responsible as slave owners and keeping the system going, they then come back with organizing the KKK when slavery is over. Even until modern times Democrat Senator Robert Byrd was a Grand Wizard and Demicrat AL Gores father was a KKK member too. There is no such thing as the made up supposed "switch".That was concocted to get democrats off the hook. Even today, as Blacks learn and discover the immense culpability of the democrat party keeping the Black community on the welfare plantation, now democrats are scrambling to continue the cover up and pass the blame with the 1619 Project. Millions of Blacks are waking up and facing the reality that they've been duped and used for generations to keep democrats in power. But there, unfortunately, will always be people who like their chains and want democrats to think for them and tell them how to vote and what to do. You sound like one of them. Go onto Prager University videos and get educated about how democrats made up the fake "switch". If you really are interested in getting educated, as you claim, then you will seek out the truth.

Yes! Because people owning people is just plain wrong not matter who those people are!!Why would you even ask such a question?!!!

@@cindychristian1700 obviously, you are active in antislavery efforts now. I hope that is going well for your organization. Is it dangerous? Perhaps you could share your experiences.

@@kateeilers574 I'm not in an organization but whenever I see a person in bondage for sale on Facebook or somewhere else I tell people and send the link to news organizations but the sad thing is people already know about this but little is being done! Human trafficking is SLAVERY whether it's a child or an adult but it's going on everywhere in the US, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, other parts of Africa, the Philippines and many other countries!! I am still shocked when I hear about it but the organizations that are helping I will contribute what I can because I'm on a fixed income! Yes it is dangerous to help free those in bondage as it was for the abolishonists because they have to deal with pimps, customers, brothel owners and even some rich and powerful people!

The Cherokee Confederates would be an interesting subject for a movie or book. But I doubt anything like that would be funded is this day and age

@@vitoscaletta7151 Watch the PBS documentary "By Blood!" It's about a Black native American woman born in the Cherokee nation but denied full rites as a member! The Cherokee nation also don't all the Black Cherokee of their nation the right to vote!! They also had early members in the KKK and one was even the leader in the early 1900's!!

Actually history shows that Natchez, which is older than New Orleans, was the social and cultural capital of the Old South. More millionaires lived in Natchez in 1850 than New York City.

@@scottishsoutherner34 New Orleans was the largest city of the old south And while you can't deny the influence of the town natchez New Orleans dwarfed Natchez and numerous other southern cities like Savannah, Charleston and Richmond even Atlanta New Orleans was the social center, the queen of the south Lavish entertainment and masquerades could be sought there Opera shows, exclusive gala events I recommend you read *Queen of the south: journal of Thomas k Wharton* *Southern queen: by Thomas ruy Smith* *And queen New Orleans: by harnett t kane* Natchez Is lovely But it doesn't hold a candle to Antebellum New Orleans

You're an idiot

It is great to be white!
