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!
Slavery is an abomination that should have never happened. That said. All concentration is on the south. When is someone going to go to the north and do a documentary on the Irish that were slaves there?
They weren’t too much worried about the bugs and smell. They were more worried about those trees that you crossed. Those trees and soil have felt a lot of misery and pain.
they are nicer than my white great Aunts house, long dead. and she as so many had to work 365 days and pay for dwelling, food, clothes,...in sweat shops, or digging underground with no protective equipment...most Irish slaves were not even given houses.
The tone of that song at the background reminds me of the farm songs in certain parts of Africa,it breaks my heart of what they hard to endure. Our tears will never stop. God give peace to our forefathers who are at rest.
I was just there this past weekend and it just hurt my heart knowing that our ancestors dealt with so much pain it makes me a better man to know who I am and with my people the struggle is real even in today's society
@@trentonjohnson4930 Well at least they were exposed and introduced to your women. Now yt women know what it feels like to be with real men. Silver lining
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.
During the depression and earlier people of all races would make a flour and water paste to plaster their walls with newspapers. It was used as insulation.
Maybe the concrete on the walls is for preservation so they dont fall down. I’ve seen it in many very old historical buildings. It’s not 100% original but better than losing the building. These houses are so important for history.
@@savinghistory642 you need to study slave trading in Africa. Tribes fought and captured each other and held them as prisoners and some were sold to various places this wasn't the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. This thing was something totally different. Nations were conquered by europeans and the natives were forced into capturing their people and europeans sold them to other europeans and it started from this. This thing that european caucasians did is the most horrific event in human history.
Plantation is like 30-40 min from where I stay. My family has a grave site on a plantation. Idk why our family keeps burying our family there. We have to call the owner to get permission to come on the land and visit the grave. It’s a gate at the entrance that’s locked and we have to call to get them to unlock it. It’s bs.
My family has a burial ground that is now on US property since it was taken during wwii to build a military base on it. We must get permission and an escort to even go visit. 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.
Very interesting. I visited this plantation many years ago but didn’t get to spend as much time in the slave quarters. After visiting, I wondered what effect it has on the African Americans that are living in this area to have such a still standing, constant reminder of slavery.
it a very humbling experience...seeing and standing at those places..that why i decided to go visit them places,as many as possible..a very different feeling...
Reparations for slavery now. If San Francisco can do it in a state that never even had slaves, South Carolina and Charleston should be ground zero for reparations.
@@swannoir7949 My family came here around 1920. None of them ever owned another person. So I think the "Creator" will do after those who actually partook in slavery.
I’m related to the Boone’s who came to the colonies in the 1600’s but the line split when coming to the colonies. My ancestors were from what is now Rhode Island. They left for Canada so they could stay loyal to the Crown. U.S. didn’t want them and confiscated their farm.

I have to believe that Black people didn't go through all of what they endured for nothing. I believe they sit in the highest tier in heaven and that their enslavers are in the hottest place in hell. I know European Americans don't want to believe that as they're going to make excuses for their ancestors. We must honor Black slaves for their endurance. They endured and survived a literally hell.

Don't go to the hospitality center. They will charge you. The place is so huge that you can just tour the place yourself without any pain in the ( . ) guiding you.
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.
Nice video, I was there in mid June and saw what you r showing. I have a small video but not as nice and as yours. You r showing more details. Horrific time in our country.
As a house for a single family, this wouldn't be bad for the period and even the porcelain and bottles the archaeologists found look pretty nice. There were like 20 of them in there, though.
This list of name of slave and where they came from where could I find this list online , I’m doing a research about my family who settle in Samana Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 in 1824
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.
Chris, the house was built in the 1930s, so it's not all that impressive. The Slave Quarters are really impressive, being brick (most quarters were wood). They've done a lot more with the quarters in 27 years.
@@mfumuobweng4232 when my husband and I first moved to the area, 27 years ago, we visited Boone Hall. The Slave Quarters were just there. No interpretation, no explanation -- nothing. 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). I highly recommend Middleton Place, as well as MacLeod Plantation (which concentrates on the Reconstruction Era).
@@parkerbrown-nesbit1747 yeah,but personnaly i will take this plantation over,all the other ones in the charleston area,because,the other one seems too modernise,to me...and they ddnt keep many stuff from that old period(fyi:iv been to pretty much all of them)
So much suffering was done here. I wish I know my original family roots and name. We've tried but everything stopped with my great grandmother because of slavery.
I pray and hope so the quilty men of enslaving thousands of beautiful black people need to be responsible, those so called Christians also for going along with the ideas of enslavement. I am so sorry to all whose legacy is enslavement. To think some people still ignore, & deny your experience l question their humanity. What the white man has done to native Americans, African Americans is unforgivenable. THE INJUSTICE CONTINUES IN A DIFFERENT WAY TODAY. I don't understand man's inhumanity to man. I don't get it. I am so, so sorry.
Interesting but we need to be aware that people who weren’t slaves lived in similar places…or worse. And worked as hard. The bad thing about their lives here is that they were not free…

Thank you...this is your ancestors.. i didnt think they had a place to warm their homes...they have beds ?

Im British and not really up on the treatment of slaves in America but its only what I learnt at school and books i have read. The white man has a lot to answer to. Slavery should never have happened. The treatment of the native Americans should never of happened and its all down to the white man. Im white but im so ashamed of any ancestors that i may of had who where involved in these atrocities. Its deplorable how one can treat another human being.
@@dianewhitehouse7244 sure! alot has to be adressed.. but are we ever gonna get to that?with all these wars coming up??we all might die,before getting to know the truth,of what really happened😭
The slaves were removed from everything they knew to help them survive. One of them was the medicinal herbs that they could freely harvest in Africa to keep them well. Very sad. 😢
Sorry for those slaves,they have to share that little room for sleeping. Only God can justify this , God bless’s them,their spirit where ever they might be! 😮😢
No God of mine would try to justify this. Acceptance of such by attributing it to God, as opposed to holding those who enslaved our ancestors, is what keeps us mentally enslaved and ripe to be enslaved again
One thing is about big plantation was the owner provided food, clothing and healthcare. Most people in America did not own slaves,but was slaves themselves.
@@mfumuobweng4232 study history and you will...first look at how many owned slaves...then study actually captured and sold the slaves...you will be very surprised
I don't think the house of slaves was better because the plantation had lots of money. At the time, homes were made from local resources and the slaves most likely were the ones building the house. The owners were probably good people who allowed the slaves to use their time, skills and plantation resources to build a decent place to live.
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.
The floors were dirt so things would get lost. If they used straw on the floors, that made loosing things worse. That could account for the bones. This isn't trying to minimize the conditions in the slightest. Just have been reading anthropology for several years including excavations in caves.
Those slave houses were built by the slaves and they even build the slave owner house. Trust and believe that the trees that you are looking at were also planted by the slaves.🙄🤔
Mfumu, there are people living in worse dwellings in America. These quarters might look like mansions to many. If you drive thru the poor areas in the US you will see what I mean.
i know,and you are right..i have videos of missisipi delta,you should check them up.. im not saying anything,just showing thoses places and it depends on how we view it,as people!
These houses are really nice and perhaps they housed their bosses. The slaves slept on floor horrible horrendous conditions. Unbelievable the evil soulless “people” have done to humanity. The worst of all this is that not much have changed!
Lots of the slaves slept on floors .... The slave cabins had tin roof. The slaves build all of the plantations. I know 1st hand. The slaves were given the slop or leftovers that came from their slave owner. Often times.🙄🤔
Great video. You might want to torn off background music. For your accent its too distracting. Looking forward to more of your videos. Have a good day.
Our home is across the road from here. Now the former Plantation is used for weddings, concerts, etc. Me, I've never visited the place because I want to hear real stories, not manufactured or white washed tales.
Man, just reading this makes me no wonder why I now feel ashamed of myself for attending a wedding that took place there on April 7, 2017, let alone having an adventurous spirit myself, because that was the reason I somehow felt lucky to have went through such an experience. 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.
@SaraHouck461 yeah,it shoking..i wouldnt have any wedding or any other festive event at places like those..because if you are spiritualy awaken,and you walk to these places,you see alot of loose souls,and so much,so much more..
Have a few Boones in my family, lighter skin brown people slick hair. Distant but there….Side eye the darker ones but still held hands during dinner prayer. That type😏
If you visit India, Pakistan , Bangladesh,many countries of Africa,you will see most people living in worst conditions,in this day.if that makes you feel any better
It’s important for people to visit and learn history. But they have to have a way to make money to pay for the upkeep of the museum. It’s not cheap to keep the buildings and grounds in . good condition so more people can visit and learn the truth about the past.
OmG how on earth did my people survive. That is so sad. That why when African Americans or shall I say we as African Americans act stupid an ignorant it is a disgrace to our ancestors.
They probably wanted ot tak emote care of their slaves because ether were worth money and plus ut made them look good. They hgevthem warm homes. The brick. They didn't ahev sick slaves all winter forn those cold winters.
My Colonial grandfather was in slavery from England his was white and picking tobacco and then my other grandfather was sent to Jamaica from Virginia into slavery from Jamestown.
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.
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.

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.
okay,how long was that?
Very nice video I live here in Charleston… great place and all respect to the history here ….
thanks for watching✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Wow I live in SC and I haven't been there yet!! I would love to go there, and planning on going there real soon!
you gonna like the experience!!!
Chris, the house was built in the 1930s, so it's not all that impressive.
The Slave Quarters are really impressive, being brick (most quarters were wood). They've done a lot more with the quarters in 27 years.
@@parkerbrown-nesbit1747 true!!and atleast they still keep them,for us to see
@@mfumuobweng4232 when my husband and I first moved to the area, 27 years ago, we visited Boone Hall. The Slave Quarters were just there. No interpretation, no explanation -- nothing. 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).
I highly recommend Middleton Place, as well as MacLeod Plantation (which concentrates on the Reconstruction Era).
@@parkerbrown-nesbit1747 yeah,but personnaly i will take this plantation over,all the other ones in the charleston area,because,the other one seems too modernise,to me...and they ddnt keep many stuff from that old period(fyi:iv been to pretty much all of them)
So much suffering was done here. I wish I know my original family roots and name. We've tried but everything stopped with my great grandmother because of slavery.
sorry☹️
The slaves really suffered. Thank you for this great video more grease to your elbow.
thanks!!i apreciate the support✊🏿
No not all did. Read the history of their lives in Africa. They talk about worst cases never talk about the good

Looks beautiful. These are better homes than most Americans have today.

I was there, right after hurricane Hugo, and the trees had been significantly damaged
they look great noww
.....and the guilty ones WHO started and continued this wicked act will eventually pay for their crimes against humanity.
I pray and hope so the quilty men of enslaving thousands of beautiful black people need to be responsible, those so called Christians also for going along with the ideas of enslavement.
I am so sorry to all whose legacy is enslavement.
To think some people still ignore, & deny your experience l question their humanity.
What the white man has done to native Americans, African Americans is unforgivenable. THE INJUSTICE CONTINUES IN A DIFFERENT WAY TODAY. I don't understand man's inhumanity to man.
I don't get it. I am so, so sorry.
Look up queen Nzinga.
Such a beautiful place hides an ugly past!
really
Wow
Be blessed bro
The road with the trees looks like the one from the movie "forest gump".
yeah,it really looks familliar
Mr. Obwrng, they just renovated these slave houses. When I first saw them they were made out of wood. They must have just renovated them.
no,i doubt it...those are originals..all the history books on site,testifies it
3 Centuries ! Wood to Brick
Chattel slaves built their own shelter and bricks.
Dosent look a lot different from pioneer homes of the time.
Not really..
Yes, really. Sod homes, dugouts, caves, one room cabins. Lots of information on it out there.
Interesting but we need to be aware that people who weren’t slaves lived in similar places…or worse. And worked as hard. The bad thing about their lives here is that they were not free…
Yes.you are right...peopl live in worse condition till this day....specially where im from,,,thats why i love this country so much

I think the had the older type of tin roofs. That one looks more modern.

🥺 although racism is still around I’m glad there’s no more plantation slavery
Who was the slave owner there in the plantation
the boones familly
Thank you...this is your ancestors.. i didnt think they had a place to warm their homes...they have beds ? Could there have been cheaper houses...ok got you...they took care of their slaves to show off their wealth...but still im so glad that here they were better taken cared for...good for them if they could go hunting!!
they were taken care of,bcz they were money making machines,not bcz slave masters cared about they well being, put of generosity😜

Im British and not really up on the treatment of slaves in America but its only what I learnt at school and books i have read. The white man has a lot to answer to. Slavery should never have happened. The treatment of the native Americans should never of happened and its all down to the white man. Im white but im so ashamed of any ancestors that i may of had who where involved in these atrocities. Its deplorable how one can treat another human being.
@@dianewhitehouse7244 sure! alot has to be adressed.. but are we ever gonna get to that?with all these wars coming up??we all might die,before getting to know the truth,of what really happened😭
Anybody that owns another human should be put down but this is how all the poor people lived back then slave or not
I went there for vacation and it was awsome
good deal
The slaves were removed from everything they knew to help them survive. One of them was the medicinal herbs that they could freely harvest in Africa to keep them well. Very sad. 😢
very very sad
Sorry for those slaves,they have to share that little room for sleeping. Only God can justify this , God bless’s them,their spirit where ever they might be! 😮😢
Amen
No God of mine would try to justify this. Acceptance of such by attributing it to God, as opposed to holding those who enslaved our ancestors, is what keeps us mentally enslaved and ripe to be enslaved again
To t ell you the truth these slave quarters are nicer than some of the houses my ancestors lived in. A lot of log cabin that were small.
yeah,those here,seems different..

One thing is about big plantation was the owner provided food, clothing and healthcare. Most people in America did not own slaves,but was slaves themselves.
how they was slaves themselves🤷🏿♂️

I don't think the house of slaves was better because the plantation had lots of money.
At the time, homes were made from local resources and the slaves most likely were the ones building the house.
The owners were probably good people who allowed the slaves to use their time, skills and plantation resources to build a decent place to live.
you might be right..
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.
The floors were dirt so things would get lost. If they used straw on the floors, that made loosing things worse. That could account for the bones.
This isn't trying to minimize the conditions in the slightest. Just have been reading anthropology for several years including excavations in caves.
yeah,i most of those explanations are written inside those cabin also..
In Africa their floors were dirt
Those slave houses were built by the slaves and they even build the slave owner house. Trust and believe that the trees that you are looking at were also planted by the slaves.🙄🤔
Mfumu, there are people living in worse dwellings in America. These quarters might look like mansions to many. If you drive thru the poor areas in the US you will see what I mean.
i know,and you are right..i have videos of missisipi delta,you should check them up..
im not saying anything,just showing thoses places and it depends on how we view it,as people!
These houses are really nice and perhaps they housed their bosses. The slaves slept on floor horrible horrendous conditions. Unbelievable the evil soulless “people” have done to humanity. The worst of all this is that not much have changed!
Where did the brick come from. Slave owners didn't waste their precious bricks on slaves.
well,school us,,you might knw more than we do
Lots of the slaves slept on floors .... The slave cabins had tin roof. The slaves build all of the plantations. I know 1st hand. The slaves were given the slop or leftovers that came from their slave owner. Often times.🙄🤔

Except for that gibberish racket in the background.
Our home is across the road from here. Now the former Plantation is used for weddings, concerts, etc. Me, I've never visited the place because I want to hear real stories, not manufactured or white washed tales.
🤣😂🤣😂
Man, just reading this makes me no wonder why I now feel ashamed of myself for attending a wedding that took place there on April 7, 2017, let alone having an adventurous spirit myself, because that was the reason I somehow felt lucky to have went through such an experience. 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.
@SaraHouck461 yeah,it shoking..i wouldnt have any wedding or any other festive event at places like those..because if you are spiritualy awaken,and you walk to these places,you see alot of loose souls,and so much,so much more..
Have a few Boones in my family, lighter skin brown people slick hair. Distant but there….Side eye the darker ones but still held hands during dinner prayer. That type😏

They found away to capitalise off of our pain, sweat, blood, and tears by charging to get in Boones farm for a tour. So sad but true
well..
So now a history museum is under attack by you. A history museum is NOT guilty of the sin of slavery.
It’s important for people to visit and learn history. But they have to have a way to make money to pay for the upkeep of the museum. It’s not cheap to keep the buildings and grounds in . good condition so more people can visit and learn the truth about the past.
Cute!

Making excuses for slavery?! Wow!
My Colonial grandfather was in slavery from England his was white and picking tobacco and then my other grandfather was sent to Jamaica from Virginia into slavery from Jamestown.
waww..thats sad😭
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.
