I love the hoop skirt - and the plantation homes. I was there in 2013... Loved touring all of those..... History's is great!

It is very important to include the stories of the enslaved and people who sharecropped or never paid their worth in every plantation tour. Yes, they were beautiful homes with grandeur and splendor but they came at a great cost and sacrifice of others. That history shouldn't be forgotten.

Thanks for remembering our history in Louisiana

My family was on Destrehan Plantation working sugar cane fields.

Bringing their own food to work in those hot sharp cane fields! Wow! My mom feeds everyone she hires to work around her property.

Wonderful - thank you for sharing the truth - and storys of the plantaions

My family comes from this area... Ascension, Assumption, St. James, Lafourche and Orleans Parishes.

This is why most migrated north like what my family did. If you live on plantation your always a slave. The fact that they were robbing them shows what type of people they were. GREAT video

Excellent oral history. Thank you for trying to be as accurate as possible.

Excellent. Thank you.

Thank You!

My family is the James family. From Torbert, Louisiana. They chopped that Cane!!!

Fabulous documentary.

Putting aside the evils of slavery for a moment, I recall reading once that someone had famously said, " You have to be a Mighty Rich Cotton Farmer, before You could be a Poor Sugar Farmer..."!!

Very interesting
