A Documentary Story on Laura Plantation.
Great work!
It's Funny How they still making MONEY off of SLAVES...SMMFH to this Date but won't pay REPORATIONS
💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩🚽
I want to know BOTH SIDES…. I never realised that the Creole owners always went for the Senegal people that spoke French.
Tbf im interested in the big house too but to ignore the slaves which were basically the entire workforce and here 186 distinct people is just insane. A real museum tells all stories of the plantation.
I'm scheduling me a trip to go there. I had family there.
It burned down in a fire a few years ago and they rebuild it. This is a brand new building.
In Louisiana, all poor people white and Black lead desperate, sad lives. Little food, long hours working in the hot sun, disease, no education, etc.
I just watched a man who lived on this plantation until he was 10 and he told fund memories of the plantation. It's strange how people can grow up at the same time and place and look at it totally different.
YES ,,,,,, THAT IS. MY NAME AND I WOULD LOVE TOO LIVE THERE ,,,,,,,,. WE. ARE FAMILY 💯💯💯💯 AND. I. AM READY TOO MOVE BACK. HOME. WHERE I. BELONG ....... SENDING LOVE TO YOU. ALL ,,,,,, FROM DETROIT MICHIGAN SIR THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION ON THE,,,,,,,,, LAURA HOUSE.....🙏🙏🙏🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤👁️👁️👀👀👀👀💯💯💯💯💯
LAURA. ,,,,, LAURA,,,,,, LAURA.......I LOVE ME..🖤🖤🖤🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤
Laura or Laurel, ? Exactly Why Federal Funds Are Mismanaged. Surely, Someone Owns The Plantation. What A Twist !!! Symbols Of Slavery Still Standing. Its Memory Should Be Classified As, A Violent Part Of History & Suitable For Destroying As The Confederate Statues Were. Definitely, The Former People That Occupied That Property, Did So Under Bondage aka SLAVERY. NOT A DIME SHOULD BE FEDERALLY FUNDED TO SUPPORT THE RENOVATION.
Non black history buff here. I have a generous 'aversion' to the word - Plantation.
They are "holocaust memorials". Now used for wine tasting events or weddings for the rich white girl etc. Fun stuff. You know, dance on the graves of the slaves who whipped and raped. America, the Beautiful!
We all related back here big mixed family
HEY COUSIN!! Wow!!! WOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!
And now in 2021 the White House is the plantation mansion and tax-payers are the slaves. WHODDA THUNK IT (but here we is)
Still no mention of how the owners of this plantation made their fortune. In the website it mentions that you will learn about the history of these “incredible” women meaning the white ladies who inherited the property and by property I can only assume they mean the house farm and enslaved people. These poor folks who were torn away from loved ones to work on this plantation for the sole purpose of building white peoples fortunes and contributing to their generational wealth does not get a mention. It’s all very cold. The guide talks about racism being very touchy. It IS and should be VERY uncomfortable. We’re never going to move forward if we can’t truly confront our past. Whitney is the only one that is
I appreciate your observations, but I am not a guide. This was totally unplanned and my remarks were on the spot -- I couldn't possibly say all that was to say. This was just a little chat with the students who I volunteered to show them some of the sites here. They learned a great deal more off camera.
Thank you for this. The Senegal master craftsman is incredible. And it’s the other man’s problem he cannot acknowledge your relation. You are a wonderful sincere man and your passion for this place is admirable!
All slave owners should be hung!
Why didn't anybody tell him to wipe the crust on the corner of his mouth?? Smh
I think all these debilitating "plantations" and "slaves' qaurters" should be burnt to the ground. Preserving these buildings would only bring shame to how the slaves were treated in America for 350 years. BLACK LIVE MATTER!
No they need to be saved so people won’t forget what happened and the past won’t be repeated especially since now with schools are being banned from even discussing slavery or racism . To erase it is to act like it didn’t exist or it never happened . Is that to make those who feel uncomfortable about this part of American history feel better?

And now you be a prince hall mason?
I highly recommend this tour.
Enjoyed learning an hearing u tell the history of the plantation....
Heritage.
Interesting and very sad at the same time. I could feel the sorrow when seeing the past of the history. Thank you for sharing.
I went with my mother to visit Laura and they allowed us to tour not just the main home but the grounds including the slave quarters. The mind blowing part was that 2 families occupied the space of something not even as big as some living rooms. Granted they would’ve only eaten briefly probably and slept given the long workdays.
Riiiight. Wow
Horrific! 😔😔😔
I toured Laura Plantation back in 1996-1997 when my husband and I lived in Kenner, LA outside of New Orleans. It’s not the “typical” plantation. I liked the rawness of it. I’d bring family to see it when they visited from NJ and NY
I've never been but hope to soon visit a plantation soon so my questions fall on what a first timer would most benefit from as far as taking away a feeling of never forgetting those hallowed grounds or experience . *what are the differences among them and are some more commercialized ( showing off the home) versus actually teaching relevance to the truth of the plantations purpose , the masters family , which tribes from primarily Africa Sent to work there , and the treatment of those who built the plantations ? * Who would you say was the worst of tours taken and why ? Sorry for all the questions but I want to get the most from this shameful mark in history I've read about, been drawn to strongly and fascinated w all my life . Thank u
@@82566 great questions. I feel like the ones that look perfect are most commercialized which is why I preferred this one. I don’t believe the “main house” was beautifully well kept. For me it reinforces the fact that we are descendants of strong people to have endured so much. I always think about the brutal weather, hot and cold in some places, the long days and constant work. Slave quarters are never well preserved but what is left really makes me marvel at how far we’ve come. We are resilient. It’s emotional at first though...
@@CoachSherri just from videos and pictures as well as visiting s.carolina many years ago I cant imagine the amount of faith and just day to day determination of working under those conditions not to mention the hypervigilance and trauma witnessed as well as experienced on a day to day .I just have such respect and thanks for the ancestors that gave so much just hoping one day they wouldn't have to be under such bondage , fear and bigotry , even though still to this day its experienced in a different way its still raises its ugly head .I will definitely put Laura plantation on my plantation history tour list .Thank u for taking the time to talk w me I appreciate it .
I don’t understand this they even found ways to make money off of telling our slave history this shit has no end for real
There are people who work at these places that need to be paid and the electricity has to be paid right? Come on... this is your sophisticated response? I mean can’t you even analyze this to any degree??
I hear ya..... but I am not a paid guide. I was showing a group of photography students from New York where some of our people originated. Believe it or not, met on facebook and I volunteered to educate them.
Tongue and groove building.
I like this guy
Interesting. Thank you 🙏
I will visit The Laura again if it's open due to the Pandemic.
The Browns of Brown University in Providence Ri were extremely instrumental in slavery. All the Northern States had Slaves. Perhaps we should change the name of all states that had slaves. Oh Wait..one of the first slave owners was a black man..as a matter of fact all the tribes of the native Americans kept Slaves..The Muslim countries STILL buy and sell slaves. Why do you look backwards when slavery is a modern day FACT?
what did his slave mammy do for the white massa that he allowed her children to live
Where is this?
Vacherie, Louisiana
And when they tell about the slaves,they dilute the truth.
Here, since it only gives you like TWO or THREE SECONDS to read it all at the beginning of this video; "Laura Plantation is a restored historic creole sugarcane plantation, near Vacherie, Louisiana. In the years before the Civil War, the slave quarters included a slave infirmary, 69 cabins, communal kitchens, and several water wells located along the road. Each slave cabin was occupied by two families, as duplex units sharing a central double fireplace. Near each cabin was a vegetable garden plus a chicken coop and/or pig pen. By the time of the Civil War there were 186 slaves working the farm." (You're welcome 👍)
Thats just it, "@buttercup kin." It's the principle!! You should never HAVE to!
I, for one thank you. I had intended to go back & read it, but saw your comment first. I’d rather read that b4 I went back to watching the video.

Master craftsman from Africa? Heard those claims before but for most of them they were not true. The people claiming it could never prove it. There were some plantations that did have would could be termed highly skilled craftsmen after being taught from skilled craftsmen from Europe that were brought to the US to build and construct most of the plantation houses. I can't remember off hand but there is one plantation home in LA that did have highly skilled craftsmen (African men) on it and there were also documents dating all the way back to the early 1800's that documented them being taught. There is another one in TN as well but I can't remember the name of it either. Both have video presentations about them here on TH-cam. I'm very happy to see this one being preserved and the story's told though. I think it is very important for everyone to know both sides of the story to better understand our history.
@Lauren -- Ok, what ever you say sherlock.
Scary that it wasn't long ago that one man thought it was okay to own another.
Slavery STILL HAPPENS EVERYDAY
@@pamelamcfadden337 Where? I mean we're all indentured servants of some kind, minus the ultra wealthy 1 percenters.
@@jimmartin7881 Slavery is still common in Africa and the Middle East. Dubai is infamous for its treatment of Filipino workers that’s as close to slavery as it gets. Sex slavery in Asia is rife. Unlike America of that era, it’s highly illegal
@@okimahitt7413 I was speaking of slavery in the classic sense. Owning a crew of field workers, wait staff, etc. And the inability of the slave to do anything about it, most people today can run away without the fear of someone else claiming them as their property. That and there's not really an open air market where they're sold as product. There were no human rights orgs to protect or help when this plantation was operating. What goes on today can be called slavery but it pales in comparison to what went on in those days.
@buttercup kin Slaves didn't get pay, slaves couldn't leave after 8 hrs., slaves had to ask just to go to the bathroom, slaves got horsewhipped for taking back, slaves didn't get vacation days or 401Ks. HUGE difference.
I actually appreciate hearing from the side of the enslaved. It gives me a better perspective of everything. I do not discount any part of American history. It is all important ...so that we learn and grow from mistakes. I find the architecture fascinating and beautiful. I find the courage and strength and perserverance of those generations to be phenomenal and inspiring. And...nothing about slavery was ever morally right. I do not romanticize this period. I accept the bad for what it was, along with anything that may have been good that occurred as well. America is a Nation of overcomers and that we should all find we have in common and be proud of it
Is this in Laurel, Mississippi???
Louisiana
I think that the United-States Slave Trades in plantations history are very similar with GUADELOUPE, MARTINIQUE, HAÏTi, DOMINICA, SAINTE-LUCIA, TRINIDAD, were French Caribbean Colonies in the past kept their Creole language, such as GUADELOUPE, MARTINIQUE, HAÏTI, and the State of LOUISIANA.
Remember a lot of these people were not from here they knew they would be punished pretty bad if they didn't obey..ost came from a free as a bird region when they arrived here they were treated awful.. Scared and threatened punishment and they saw that punishment given to others.. The ones that took them on their land and the ones who captured them abused and they had to obey their life was in danger and their well being.. They came from a simple humble living. They ended up here under harsh rules.. what a sham they were scared and had to obey.. The part I don't understand is why they broke up families and loved ones so much sent them away to another owner as they called them.. That was one of the heart breaking moment they had to endure. They are free now and some live a good life..
Impressive work! Great job!!
Thank You!
I don't under stand, why they thought they could control these people 100% wrong, wrong! People Are People it doesn't matter what race they are they were all from the Lord. This upsets me. I remember at a young age in Virginia there was this little girl on the other side of the fence that wanted to play with me I told her well come on over we were going to go to the park. She was not allowed to come over. And we were not allowed to go over on the other side of the fence. at that age I did not understand why but now I understand being much older. Wrong absolutely wrong to treat these people like this. I'm sure this little girl remembers this also at a very young age. Sad
The best comment on here well said it's sad that racism is taught at a young age when kids don't see color they just see friendship
I love it! Great work.
YAY!!! This was so GREAT!- Really nice work!!!!
