@@amyhanz Well, let's see. At least you mentioned the word slavery in your video...as this plantation had several hundred enslaved people on it's lush grounds, creating for them their fortunes of cotton. I'm white, but have major empathy toward what life was like for those owned by others. I know you didn't participate, but would it hurt to mention something more about those on whose backs this U.S. was actually built?
I am torn between the beauty and tragedy of this beautiful home. Along with thousands of other homes with this history. The PEOPLE responsible for building this homes staircase, in turn were NOT allowed to even use it! What a humiliated state of being or NOT being! If I were here I would be enslaved to work FOR LIFE FOR FREE 😥
I'm amazed at the technology and sophistication of the times..1830s..I've been there twice to appreciate the people and the history of it ...Different world- different people...
I have visited this home on a couple of occasions, but not in recent years. However, I can attest to its beauty and appreciate being a visitor back in the day pre-gift shop era
The first year I was married 58 years ago we rented an old farm house that doctor build.It was built before thr Civil War. It had fireplaces and a pretty stair case.They ended up tearing the house down.
The place is beautiful, it needs some Spanish moss removal before all the trees that line the driveway will be dead. Some of them are not far from dying, that would be sad.
Beautiful home..the real sadness was for the enslaved humans, shocking amidst such beauty 😢
I love history and only could imagine a day in the life of what went on there.
Same. Very interesting to ponder.
Yea if you were white all good ,but if you wasn't then you a slave treated like crap

Absolutely. The house is beautiful but the history is a terrible tragedy. Really appreciate your comment.
It would be nice if you could walk up the small stairs
The history is what it is, the good, the bad & the ugly. It is America’s story and should be understood by all.
@@ninakerstetter579 I agree with you. It is what it is, and all the world should know it, as it was!

Yes, the sophistication of the slaves who built it

Beautiful! What a lovely tour of the grounds.
Thank you. It was so fun touring the home.
I can't even begin to describe how much I enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for sharing. This was so well put together.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful home! I just subscribed ❤️
Welcome and thank you so much! Old homes and the history they hold are so interesting to me.
@@amyhanz I agree!

Beautiful home.
Thank you for watching.
I have been there. It's a beautiful home.
The first year I was married 58 years ago we rented an old farm house that doctor build.It was built before thr Civil War. It had fireplaces and a pretty stair case.They ended up tearing the house down.
Oh, wow, how interesting. I would have loved to see it.
Beautiful. But slavery was an abomination. And it would not be be that magnificent if not for slaves.
They would hire people instead. Either way, the wealthy will still be surrounded by the best.
Where is this home located. I enjoyed the experience
St Francisville, LA
The place is beautiful, it needs some Spanish moss removal before all the trees that line the driveway will be dead. Some of them are not far from dying, that would be sad.
I fast forwarded through some of this. We're those oak trees? Quite an amazing sight!!!
Thank you for giving us a complete history including the slaves contributions.
The slaves weren't allowed to use the beautiful staircase in the front entry, which they did a lovely job building it. That's so Cringe 🤨
Kinda creepy to me...
