@Karson Conor thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I'd really like to know where in the hell they went to school that they think people were taught that slavery "wasn't that bad"?? We were taught the atrocities that those people endured and the utter brutality... the first time I was shown a picture of the kkk i was in third grade and it made my skin crawl. My school and teachers were brutally honest with us... we learned about slavery before almost any other history, and in my opinion that was the right thing to do.
Unfortunately there are many schools that don't or refuse to teach slavery properly. It's sad, only in recent decades are history book becoming honest about it.
You'd be surprised. In many schools, especially here in the U.S., slavery is downplayed and made to look as though Africans actually were not mistreated THAT badly and that some of them even loved being "helpers" and always pleasing their white owners. But you have to think of who was writing these books. They definitely added their own feelings and opinions within the words and it SHOWS. That's why I love that people are able to look up these things and are being taught to challenge history. Everything we were taught was NOT factual. Some of it just made certain people feel better about things.
I am from this area an the schools did down play it. Theres a school in halifax va that black kids went to. I tried buying it then a limb from the massive oak next to the house dropped a limb down threw the roof.
This still blows my mind how different life was back then. How different it would be for my friends if we were to live back in those days. Very eye-opening and informative video!
Thank you so much! This is so awesome. I searched Farquier, Virginia slavery. My great great grands were born there in the 1840’s. Haven’t yet found proof of their history during those times, but chances were slim to be black & free. This was the top of the search & I’m in awe & thankful to Google for this. Juneteenth✊🏽
Please, who made this documentary? I don't see any credits given to them. I would really like to talk with them. I'm a direct descendent of Archibald Cary and have looked for my mixed race relatives for my entire adult life.
Thank you guys for information. I had that book in school. I think with the help of my parents and relatives. We knew what was going on about slavery and racist. when I was in elementary school a lot of times pages were missing from our books.
I wished I could trace back my mother's people back to this area. They were Varners and they moved to Alabama. But I remember my mother said her mother's people were in Virginia before Alabama.
This is especially true in the south where textbooks were often donated by the organizations such as the Confederate Daughters of America. But even in the North though slavery was never talked about as a positive, Reconstruction was often given a once over and we learned terms such as “ carpet baggers”. But to actually go over Reconstruction would have gotten in the way of the general conversation about “ the Civil Rights Movement”. And it helped that was not considered a good President.
Theres an old school house in halifax county that black students went to. I tried buy it but then i was told i couldn't cut the massive oak back from the house.Storm came threw an dropped one of the limbs right down threw the roof. When Chase City was called Christiansville back in the day. There were a lot of slaves there. Someone has collected a lot of information an documents on the slaves of that time. Wonder why so many folk's hold Lincoln so high. When he didn't really want to end slavery. Just slavery in the south.
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.
If folks want to understand that era more, they should read journals and diaries from that time. Writings that came straight from the people living that time. I’ve learned so much over the last 10-15 years from researching diaries, and it’s very different than “Hollywood” history lol. This tribalism type us and them mentality and grouping all people in with what some people’s actions is extremely ignorant and divisive, and unfortunate that it’s been turned into a political tool. We are all humans and all one race…….. human race. It’s we and us.
The wralth was already established. One had to have money to own a slave in the first place. Slavery added to the wealth, it did not create the wealth.
One serious question to the staff at Google. why does the pogram shutdown everytime I try to checck which cities align with the Ka'aba through the temple mount it shuts off? why does it take such a long time for the name al Aqsa to appear when i try to zoom in? aren'T Muslims aloud to look uo Islams holy site? and why has UA-cam shutdown and censored several Islamic channels, despite them nnot spreading any hatred or terrorism, or violence. you guys have serious m issues.
That’s sad but this is about black Americans history and slavery. Please go under a channel that correlates with your topic and ask. Let’s not take away anything from the people who died here.
Michael Zaccarillo nobody said right wasn’t right. It’s unfortunate that’s happening but this particular video has absolutely nothing to do with his or her topic. There are a lot of issues people have but go post those issues on a video that correlates, don’t be disrespectful by posting irrelevant comments. YOU might do that everywhere but most people with manners don’t do that.
It’s truly not til we are old ourselves that we really want to know American history,cause people of today want to tear it all away. It’s history,good or bad. I don’t think anyone from that era would choose our era. Fools.
Shocking horrible monsters who perpetrated these atrocious barbaric cruelties on their fellow human beings for approx 300 years and are still oppressed to this day makes me ashamed of the colour of my skin altho my ancestory suffered oppresion and endentured slavery it was not for life it sickens me to the core what black people suffered at the hands of these low life demons may they rot in hell
So we should preserve history right? Then why are all these statues being taken down? Shouldn't all these plantations and slave quarters be torn down as well. Seems like more of a reminder of slavery than statues.
There were also a majority of workers who were white. Whites built the houses and manors. They had the skills and education. They were the professional carpenters. Whites were the working class people and the farmers who settled and worked the land. To deny this is total ignorance. To stereotype these people places and facts is pure ignorance.
I kind of like what you say were slaves quarters. Its sort of like what i would like now.. Can you show me where they moved to when they were freed.i have pictures of where my ancestors lived in that time frame or shortly after. The slave quarters have them beat. By a lot
@@sophiyahsunflower7259 Fuck that person. This would never be said to a Holocaust survivor or a 9/11 survivor. Only Black American atrocities are supposed to be forgotten when nothing has been done to right those wrongs and brutalizations.
@@sophiyahsunflower7259 my people are you kidding me you know they are trying to divide us so they can conquer you all are still slaves to the Democratic Party they laugh at you all behind you back so sad
It’s not about looking back or looking forward, it’s about acknowledging your roots and reflecting on how you ended up in a land that you weren’t invited to. This isn’t political, it’s literally just being human. Some African Americans can’t trace further than their great grand parents and can’t tell where they truly are from. No matter what success you achieve or reconciliation you come to terms with, there’s always an existential part of African Americans that itches to wanna know more and if you can’t relate to it, just kindly step aside and listen or turn a blind eye and keep moving. You trying to make it political isn’t cool.
Am I the only one who found both of their voices soothing ?
I loved them as well and his eyes
On my way to Florida I stopped by a plantation in Charleston, South Carolina a while back. Very eye opening.
Thank you! This is so important...for so many reasons...on so many different levels; past, present and future!
I REMEMBER THAT VIRGINIA BOOK !!!!!!!!!!!!
Rev. Jacob looks like a proud honest man but his eyes reflect pain. I love what y’all are doing.
Those of us who were taught the myths of slavery from 1960's textbooks also have the intellect to understand the other side of the story. Do not underestimate 'old people'.
I totally agree. I remember that book. That’s what we used in fourth grade. Wish I had a copy of it
This is a great project that many other states should be establishing.
Wow! What a powerful thing you are doing!! Thank you!!

A lot had to do with The Daughters of the Confederacy pushing a false narrative as to what was taught in Virginia schools

Powerful and important work. Thank you!
Tackling the slave issue just need to tackle the land theft issue to see what this Country was truly built on.
This still blows my mind how different life was back then. How different it would be for my friends if we were to live back in those days. Very eye-opening and informative video!
Its funny you think much has changed. Reparations now

Great! I'm trying to trace my Virgina roots but it's great to see. One day i will be there to see for myself. Great Job!
Great job young man!! I would love to do a tour someday too see all these places
Great video and production. Thank you so much.
In fourth and sixth or seventh grade I was taught Virginia history from the book pictured. I am now 75, so the book is even older than stated.
We remember the past so we don’t repeat it but we must unite to move forward.
Please, who made this documentary? I don't see any credits given to them. I would really like to talk with them. I'm a direct descendent of Archibald Cary and have looked for my mixed race relatives for my entire adult life.
Wow! I've come across the name Rev Jacob Randolph many times during my ancestry research. in Virginia.
This is not Our History this is HIS story not ours
Well done. Just moved to Virginia and this was very helpful.
Thank you guys for information. I had that book in school. I think with the help of my parents and relatives. We knew what was going on about slavery and racist. when I was in elementary school a lot of times pages were missing from our books.

North Carolina have a lot of these type slave quarters
Thanks for this.
One story that is not ever told is that there were 3500 Black slave owners before the civil war. EXPLAIN THAT.
im still trying to find info on my families-Sample,bayly,straws,west,buntin
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

Call it by its real name "forced labor camps", the term "plantation" is used to gloss over the truth.
How can we speak, I have information to include
The country is going to black vengeance

It is false to teach that slavery created the wealth of the colonialist. They were already wralthy.

Stop trying to dictate how we process and heal from your people's hateful and brutal ways.

Being a slave “IS ABSOLUTELY NOT” BLACK HISTORY!
Let's Go Brandon! FJB
There are no slaves today unless they choose to be
False. Slaves still exist
