  • Nothing is more definitive of the opulence of the antebellum South than a cotillion at a grand plantation. The swirling hoops are mesmerizing as they float on the dance floor dominating the societal attributes of cotton, slaves and arrogance. Rebelicious!

    Adam, thank you for your comments. I too am wild about the antebellum South and all of its opulence, pamper and wealth. It was the closest the South ever came to an aristocracy and sometimes I wish I'd be born in that period and raised as a rich southern beau courting planters' daughters of equal status. Porcelain skin, parasols and plantations: Rebelicious! And who can deny that the hoop skirt is immensely alluring in all of its crinoline and ruffled fluff! It was a lazy life of privilege.

    Absolutely. The Antebellum South aristocracy were pampered, spoiled, and full of pride, deliciously displayed throughout the cotton kingdom of where they lived & played. However, people forget that slavery was a legal institution in all of the States, not just the South. The climate, soil and the undeveloped acreage made the system much more enticing to the southerner than the northern yank.

    The South has also had a high influence on American music and even theater. Playwright and movie pioneer DW Griffith was the one who took a Yankee Edison's movie technology and made it into what we know as Hollywood. Mayer, Disney and the other northern businessmen followed shortly thereafter. They saw a buck was to be made.

    If they lived in the South long enough, they would pick one up. As far as them being Yankees, where do you get that? Yankees believed in family farms and large families. They hated idleness and wanted to work all the time. Most of them were middle class and more into sciences of the Enlightenment. Planters followed Renaissance values and the literary classics. That's why so many great writers have been southerner, but not many inventors or scientists.

    Gentlemen, as an added note to my earlier comment. The largest slave auction block in the country at that time was in Washington DC, New York, and Boston. We Southerners have been blamed for an institution that is still active today all around the world. It should be noted, that no slave ship ever set sail with a Confederate Flag. Only Old Glory on it's mast. I am deeply patriotic, and love my heritage. Off to the Spring Ball of Civil War Reenacting.We DO still exist. Dio Vindici

    My Dear Sirs; I was born and raised by the "Old Dominion". I am a third cousin to our Illustrious President, Jefferson Davis. I am a member of the United Daughters of Confederacy. I am a true Southern Belle from blood lines. A true Southerner knows that the Old South is still very much alive. Slavery was also quite deeply ingrained in the North. I however, can feel every drop of my ancestors lineage flow through my veins and regularly wear the "Swirling Hoops" with ease and pride.

      Tatiana - the film is based on the plantation scene of "Raintree County" (1957). Do you like films about plantations or couples engaged in a waltz?

    • @katiescarlett65
      @katiescarlett65 6 років тому

      The north didn't actually liberate the slaves of the South. They pretty much relocated them to carpetbagger plantations where they weren't treated much better.

    • @louis9580louis
      @louis9580louis 5 років тому +1

      @@katiescarlett65 That's right, and they relocated them in heavy industry factories in the North too. In cities like Detroit, Saint Louis or Cleveland for example. It seems like "freeing" the slaves may just have been a good way for the North to get, certainly not gratis anymore, but cheap workforce for its flourishing industry.
      Moreover, abolition of slavery doesn't seem to be the main motivation for Yankees. They just wanted to prevent any secession of the south, impose the industrialized, financial and capitalist model of the North to them, destroy the
      disorganized confederation of states born after the independance war and establish federal state union with more power in the hand of DC. Abolition of slavery have possibly been just a way for the North to end the old agricultural southern (almost aristocratic) society once and for all.

    @mrwnrwn790 Yes, isn't it wonderful to see the plantation aristocrats swirling across the ballrooom in their finery suits and lavishly ornate hoop skirts! I bet the ballroom was permeated with the scents of magnolias and honeysuckle lotions as the ladies skirts caught air as they danced. It is historically documented that pockets of sachets were filled with rosemary and lilac powders by their black maids to give them a nice fragrance as they danced with their rich southern beaux. So much fluff!
