@@triannajj1380 Black families had land all over Forsyth County. Using Federal census data, there were at least 1,200 black residents of Forsyth in the 1920's.
And their town was flooded by those yt people - you will now find that town directly beneath Lake Lanier. A bridge, bleachers, houses, mailboxes, etc. A WHOLE FREAKING TOWN! People go out living their 'best lives' on that lake, but think of it this way: You are literally partying on top of a town more than likely inhibited by the spirits of the black ppl of Oscarville, GA. I'm sure they aren't pleased at their fate or the lack of respect for their community, hence the insane amount of drownings, disappearances, accidents, etc that occur there yearly. Seems like everyone still is tiptoe-ing over FACTS. Acknowledge the atrocities committed against those ppl, acknowledge their descendants, and put the damn lake to rest. Close it off. Give them back their town.
I’m not trying to be a bitch but you do know that the lake serves a purpose right??? It’s not just a recreational lake. It provides drinking water to more than half the state.
You’re right about everything else though. But yt people alone are not responsible for flooding the area. The land was bought by the army corps of engineers. For a purpose. They would have taken it by right of imminent domain anyway once they decided to create the lake. The lake wasn’t created until 40 years after the oscarville residents were forced out. The two had nothing to do with the other.
@@triannajj1380just there way years later to cover up what happened.. So they aren't reminded of their hateful inhuman acts.. To make them look innocent. I care if it was 40 yrs later and the army cor. Did it its still a cover up. 😢😢😢
@@mikellove5755 my great grandfather had journals telling the whole truth. He was one of the few white share croppers beside oscarville. The real story is what I just said. I have no reason to cover anything up. It happened no one denies that.
@@mikellove5755 c’mon man it was the corp of engineers who flooded it. Forty years AFTER everything happened. The whole area where the lake sits was white communities and black communities. They got a one time offer, less than what it was worth and had to take it. Right if imminent domain deems that it would be a utilities service and provide power to everyone, they do it with roads too.
#Question Can any black descendants from the area chime in? I’ve been informed years ago the lake covered an old native burial ground. With more research I’ve been made aware it was a black town of natives. Wondering if anyone can confirm this info, tribe info or if their families were ever enslaved? Also, there is a MOUND system under the lake that was covered as well. There was some planned effort in covering this town up. Side note : look into the Greenwood district of Tulsa ( black wallstreet) they were all black natives forced to migrate from Greenwood Mississippi under a treaty. They were of the CHATA TRIBE AKA CHOCTAW TRIBE. The more you dig the more you realize many of us were already here , and not all of us were enslaved. Any information you can provide below would be appreciated!
Yes blacks are the aboriginals of America. All of our land was stolen, prominent communities burned down, flooded and massacred, history hidden and we were given the narrative that we were brought here on slave ships from Africa.
Lord thank you that you're love and promises are everlasting hallelujah your timing is perfect for ACTS 7:6-7 THEY MUST GIVE IT ALL BACK WITH INTEREST IN YESHUA'S OMNIPOTENT NAME🌈
Yes he's just and he said he shall repay the wicked for evil deeds upon the innocent. They have signed their fate for the lack of compassion on the ancestors of this town. Their blood the blood of innocent children women and men are forever stained upon their bloodline until it's judged😢😢😢😢
Give them all their families property back that was illegally stolen
Then they would have to give us ALL our property back
It's under water....
That land has been under water for over 50 years.

@@MistressDay is it really?
Forced to leave so you leave out the massacre part hundreds that were killed
American history is horror
Edwards was most likely 100% innocent.
Black History IS American history and needs to be told, shared, recognized and respected.
That why lake Lanier hunted
