Richmond is a great city but when I did live there I would have these random dreams about random people, old fashion dressed black men in suspenders and etc. With all the slavery and civil war I believe the city is haunted and some souls aren’t getting the proper rest.

the house on the rails next to the jail site is not a similar building or replica, you are wrong. It is a survived slave dwelling from old Manchester, and relocated to the jail site as part of the trail.

I read that it was a close replica of the Lumpkin jail house but the person that wrote it could be wrong. I didnt know there were any surviving slave houses in the manchester area.

I enjoyed your video As someone stated that old "slave quarters" was not a replica of Lumpkins Jail buildings. The Devil's Half Acre buildings did not look like this. That old house is what most say is the oldest surviving slave quarters of Richmond. Which is also incorrect, the house of an ex enslaved, Emily Winfree, she never lived in it as a slave. It was given to her by her ex owner in 1866 and the house use to sit near current day Commerce Road in Manchester, (South Richmond).

There was no Lumpkins jail during the TAST. Lumpkins jail became during the Domestic Slave Trade 1808-1865

how do you know your family was inslaved? did you research your family back that far? do you know who your relatives were past your great grand parents? most people dont. because of poor record keeping back in those days. When it comes right down to it most people could not really say they are related to a slave or not because the family records are lost. The 1700 was 321 years ago so I very much doubt that you have any poof at all that you were related to anyone from that time.

but you didn't go get your land back. you came from somewhere... that's your land, your roots, your identity. Without the roots, you're still a slave... an economic slave. you gotta claim it, again. if you want roots.

the traders did not round up Africans and force them on to their ships they were captured before the traders got there and sold by other Africans to the slave traders in fact the slave could not exist with out the Africans that captured and sold people from other tribes, the truth is the truth but when the story of slavery is told they always leave out that part. WHY?

Because it was Africans with hands made weapons vs Europeans with guns. If you can’t beat them you do what’s neat for the greater good. Let’s also not forget slavery has always been a thing but the inhumane way that African ppl were treated by their enslavers was not typical.

America was the only country to end slavery with a war! and 360,222 white men died from the North to end slavery in the Civil war!

Richmond was the biggest slave trading HUB in the United States second only to New Orleans. Richmond was and still is a very racist place. Most of the whites in Richmond today live very well off( middle class/ upper middle class) while most of the blacks live in poverty. Richmond is still a confederate city that has deep roots in white supremacy culture everywhere. Everything evolves around the white southerners perspective, Some example are the confederate statues on monument avenue. This is accepted by the majority of the whites who live there. The confederacy fought to preserve slavery that was the state right they fought for. After they lost the Civil War the confederate south started jim crow(segregation) and the Ku Klux Klan(Hate group) to continue to oppress black people. Everything in Richmond centers around white supremacy. People are a product of their past and their environment But it takes a special person to not be a part of the negativity that's going on around them,.. someone who is not a follower.

Have you visited Richmond recently? Yes, there are aspects of the city life that are still dealing with the effects of civil rights era, but overall it has become an extremely diverse place. To call the city a "very racist place" is just plain wrong. You are forgetting about the growing art and music scenes, to name a few.
@@kkeaglesfan7 diversity doesn't mean it's not racist. The system and money you use are made by old white men. The grid is stacked to give power to landowners, who make the decisions for us. white supremacy uses that system to stay overtop of everyone using this system. That's why diversity is encouraged in a white supremacist world , more slaves only we're now economic slaves and oppression and supremacy still exist but everyone gets SCHOOLED in it....we're now paid to subdue ourselves. you know money isn't real, yes?
