  • Boone Hall Plantation was founded in 1681 when Englishman Major John Boone came to Charleston and established a lucrative plantation and gracious home on the banks of Wampacheone Creek. The family and descendants of Major Boone were influential in the history of South Carolina, the colonies and the nation. In 1743, the son of Major John Boone planted live oak trees, arranging them in two evenly spaced rows. This spectacular approach to his home symbolizes southern heritage and will take root in your memory for many years to come. It would take two centuries for the massive, moss-draped branches to meet overhead, forming today’s natural corridor and a scene that NBC Daytime television says is “a must see stop on any trip to Charleston, S.C.” Boone Hall has also been recognized as the #1 Plantation in the Charleston Area by USA TODAY 10BES

    My husband and I toured this plantation around 17 years ago. The reason these slave quarters are brick houses was because the plantation was known for making bricks. We were told the brick slave quarters were for the slaves that worked in the house. The slaves that worked in the field were in wooden houses and the condition of those houses were so bad that they were torn down. They used the tree leaves as stuffing for a mattress. The thing that astonished my husband and I was when we saw the ledgers. We were not supposed to touch those, but my husband still did and saw the plantation owners were making millions of dollars back then (in the 1800's). It was hard to hold back the tears to see how my ancestors lived back then. We were also told there were families sharecropping on that plantation and lived in those brick slave quarters until the 1940's. It's one thing to read about it and hear the stories, but it is another thing to actually see it. It angers me to think that now, so many politicians want to erase this history as if it didn't happen. People need to see this. Conditions were worse for my ancestors than I could've ever imagined! It shows how strong we were and still are!

    I am 72 years old and grew up in Mt. Pleasant, SC. As a Brownie or Girl Scout at about 9 years old, we visited Boone Hall and the slave cabins. I vividly remember the walls of those quarters not being as nice as they are now. I was struck by the newspapers stuffed in the walls. Our leaders explained that it was to keep the cold out. None of the shutters were open, so they were dark and dank. Now the bricks are cleaned up and walls concreted up. The only other vivid memory I have is that in visiting the house, was that some relatives ashes were in a vase on the mantle. As a child, I had never heard as such.

Once we had to go to a reburial of some bones of an ancestor after a group dug them up and used them in some kind of devil worship. The person was named Hezekiah and had died in the 1700's. No idea the point of what they did.

    In general, plantation owners provided some food for their enslaved workers-often pork, cornmeal, and portions of whatever crop flourished on that plantation. While the plantation owners may have considered the rations sufficient for feeding their workforce, many of the enslaved people did not. However, most plantation owners allowed their enslaved workers to farm their own small plots of land and to fish, hunt or trap animals to supplement their food supply-after work hours were completed.
    Because some animal bones were found under a slave quarter doesn't mean they were hiding it.
    When they were cooking the meal, it would have been smelled. No matter what time of day or night.

Not too terribly long after that, there was a school group that visited, noticed that NOTHING was being said about the enslaved who were there. The kids wrote a Letter to the Editor, which made a big stink. Not too long after that, they actually started doing more. Which is always good (as long as it's truthful).

    When I was there several years ago the slave quarters had dirt floors. Not as nice as they are showing today. The fire places were not very good at all. I couldn’t see how anyone could cook at them. You stepped down into the houses. The floors were uneven and way lower than the doors. I don’t think these were at all like they are today. They were also dark and very smelly.

I noticed plantation weddings easily coming under fire lately, mainly from those who somehow claim that it's like having a wedding at Auschwitz! I dread the possibility of easily coming off as disrespectful in the process, let alone coming off as a culprit to climate change. I'm now starting to wonder if having my whereabouts mostly limited to Upstate New York alongside dealing with stir-craziness is more respectful and eco-friendly for me now that I mention it.

    As an African, what is your real opinion on the former slaves in America?
    I don't understand why people are making it to be a horrific experience. Most definitely, some had very harsh treatment, while others did not.
    I have traveled all over the world and have seen abysmal living conditions, far worse than slave quarters. I've seen hungry people all over the world. No jobs and a corrupt government that could careless about its citizens.
    I know through documentation that black slave traders kidnapped people to sell to Europe, Brazil and America. Yet, I'm wondering how many wanted to come over for a better life. One thing that can never be taken away from someone is - hope. Hope for a better life.
    Plantation life was their job.
    They didn't get paid a salary, but they had roofs over their heads and meals. Some folks say, people went hungry. I don't agree. The slaves worked in fields and did many jobs. People can't work well if they are malnourished. Planters made sure their workers were healthy.
    Some plantations spanned 10's of thousands of acres with multiple plantation houses. It was a business. Most folks lose sight of that.
    Now if you relate it to a job in modern times- if you act up- you get fired. No one is going to accept an insurrection of any kind, not now, not back then.
    I have lived in countries where servants receive very low salaries, less than a $300- $400 USD/mos. They work 15 hours a day, share a very small room with other maids, and eat the bare minimum - rice & vegetables. Maybe, once a week with chicken or meat.
    The attitude is... We provide their airfare, housing, food, clothes and medical attention (if need be). This is how their salary is calculated. All the housemaids/houseboys are from poor countries.
    In my view, the worst part of slavery was breaking up the family and selling them off to other plantations. And the young girls being raped by the men in the house. Although, some went along with it, because their lives improved somewhat.
    This still goes on today, whether on a $300 a month housemaid job, or a $300,000 a month executive position in a corporation.
    As an African male, what are your true thoughts? If you were kidnapped and put in chains, sent to a new world to work without pay, how would you cope?
    If you chose to go on your own, would you come to understand how to make the situation work for you?
    I appreciate your thoughtful consideration on the matter.

      Slavery was punishment of a crime or if you could not feed yourself. You see American government even today taking people from overseas and setting them up with food and housing and a Job. Difference today is you pay your own housing, food, and get paycheck, instead of going to your owner. System came along way since then. I had grandma from Maryland, that her husband died and had to sell herself into slavery,then when she was free ,she had to leave her baby behind, because it was born while in slavery. There was lots reason for slavery ,she was white. Things you here about slavery is not the whole truth, because slavery was many different reasons.
