They are "holocaust memorials". Now used for wine tasting events or weddings for the rich white girl etc. Fun stuff. You know, dance on the graves of the slaves who whipped and raped. America, the Beautiful!

I appreciate your observations, but I am not a guide. This was totally unplanned and my remarks were on the spot -- I couldn't possibly say all that was to say. This was just a little chat with the students who I volunteered to show them some of the sites here. They learned a great deal more off camera.

No they need to be saved so people won’t forget what happened and the past won’t be repeated especially since now with schools are being banned from even discussing slavery or racism . To erase it is to act like it didn’t exist or it never happened . Is that to make those who feel uncomfortable about this part of American history feel better?

Riiiight. Wow

Horrific! 😔😔😔

I've never been but hope to soon visit a plantation soon so my questions fall on what a first timer would most benefit from as far as taking away a feeling of never forgetting those hallowed grounds or experience . *what are the differences among them and are some more commercialized ( showing off the home) versus actually teaching relevance to the truth of the plantations purpose , the masters family , which tribes from primarily Africa Sent to work there , and the treatment of those who built the plantations ? * Who would you say was the worst of tours taken and why ? Sorry for all the questions but I want to get the most from this shameful mark in history I've read about, been drawn to strongly and fascinated w all my life . Thank u

@@82566 great questions. I feel like the ones that look perfect are most commercialized which is why I preferred this one. I don’t believe the “main house” was beautifully well kept. For me it reinforces the fact that we are descendants of strong people to have endured so much. I always think about the brutal weather, hot and cold in some places, the long days and constant work. Slave quarters are never well preserved but what is left really makes me marvel at how far we’ve come. We are resilient. It’s emotional at first though...

@@CoachSherri just from videos and pictures as well as visiting s.carolina many years ago I cant imagine the amount of faith and just day to day determination of working under those conditions not to mention the hypervigilance and trauma witnessed as well as experienced on a day to day .I just have such respect and thanks for the ancestors that gave so much just hoping one day they wouldn't have to be under such bondage , fear and bigotry , even though still to this day its experienced in a different way its still raises its ugly head .I will definitely put Laura plantation on my plantation history tour list .Thank u for taking the time to talk w me I appreciate it .

There are people who work at these places that need to be paid and the electricity has to be paid right? Come on... this is your sophisticated response? I mean can’t you even analyze this to any degree??

I hear ya..... but I am not a paid guide. I was showing a group of photography students from New York where some of our people originated. Believe it or not, met on facebook and I volunteered to educate them.

Thats just it, "@buttercup kin." It's the principle!! You should never HAVE to!

I, for one thank you. I had intended to go back & read it, but saw your comment first. I’d rather read that b4 I went back to watching the video.

Who is mocking who ? this is just American history and yes a very wicked part of American history You need to chill out madam.

@Lauren -- Ok, what ever you say sherlock.

Slavery STILL HAPPENS EVERYDAY

@@pamelamcfadden337 Where? I mean we're all indentured servants of some kind, minus the ultra wealthy 1 percenters.

@@jimmartin7881 Slavery is still common in Africa and the Middle East. Dubai is infamous for its treatment of Filipino workers that’s as close to slavery as it gets. Sex slavery in Asia is rife. Unlike America of that era, it’s highly illegal

@@okimahitt7413 I was speaking of slavery in the classic sense. Owning a crew of field workers, wait staff, etc. And the inability of the slave to do anything about it, most people today can run away without the fear of someone else claiming them as their property. That and there's not really an open air market where they're sold as product. There were no human rights orgs to protect or help when this plantation was operating. What goes on today can be called slavery but it pales in comparison to what went on in those days.

@buttercup kin Slaves didn't get pay, slaves couldn't leave after 8 hrs., slaves had to ask just to go to the bathroom, slaves got horsewhipped for taking back, slaves didn't get vacation days or 401Ks. HUGE difference.

The best comment on here well said it's sad that racism is taught at a young age when kids don't see color they just see friendship
