GeorgetownCountyLibr You guys have done a wonderful job with this history. Thank you...my family is from Sumter, Elliott, Bishopville, Lynchburg, Darlington and Florence S.C. Also Buford S.C. My family names in Lynchburg are Andrews, Scarborough and Solomon. Also Mc Mickle. In Elliott it’s Washington and Rouse and maybe others names to. Those are the ones I remember. My grandparents died in their 90’s. Mostly all my family there have passed on now. My family owns a lot of land in Lynchburg S.C. I was born in Bishopville S.C.in 1953. My family moved North to Maryland but we spent every summer and some other years after my mom’s death in Lynchburg and Elliott. They used to say we were Geechees. I had no idea what it was. I thought it was people that liked rice. When I listen to your terminology they are the words my family used.
GeorgetownCountyLibr thank you for this curated history. It’s very helpful for my Etheridge/Etheredge family history on the LC of SC, the OBX, Freedman’s land in the OBX of NC, the VA Tidewater’s all the way to DC during the depression era. Again, this is just one more confirmation for my family’s historic review, thank you 🙏
When England conquered Spain and France and secured the bag, they ( English) began to eradicate the already existing inhabitants that were already living here, it is well documented that the fair skin Natives living in the Plains area of what we now call the United States fought to the death and resisted the European invasion and those that remained and did not conform was locked away on reservations. There were Black skin Natives here too as documented by Giovanni de Verrazzano in the 1500's the Black skin, short hair Natives lived in what is called the Eastern Part of the United States from Florida up the Atlantic Coastline passing through what we now know as the South al the way to New York having landed specifically in North Carolina first. Where and who are those Black Natives and where is the documented history of their fate like the fate of the Fair skin Plains Native? The documentation is right here in this discombobulated presentation of facts. The presenter is doing a fine job of giving us information that we are going to have to decipher in order to gain the real truth and realize, history, as we have been taught, is all lies.

I could listen to this fine lady all day long. Wow, I've learned more about slavery listening to her that I have in all my 63 years.
Appreciate you for taking the time to listen and understand..
@@dontcopymystyle4469 Thank you sir, and thank you for your positive and gracious reply. I'm not sure why others took my comment as negative? I simply meant I adore that woman and thank her for teaching me things I should have been taught in school as a young man?
Yes me two
The knowledge of knowing past history clearly unlocked those missing unanswered questions that seem to be hidden from the surf of pass history. Thank you for sharing this information❤.
My family was from Abbeville. Is that low country?
My family were also Free People of Color from Port Tobacco, Charles County, Mayland from the late 1600s. Although originally a Indentured servant family he was mixed Indigenous Indian and African who married a white Welsh woman in early 1700s. All their children were born free. My family today on average are 59% African, 40% European and 1% Native American... we live in Ohio.
Liberia was created by mostly geechi. Read up on Americo Liberians. My family connects to that part of Africa
Wow you are a long ways from home. I worked with the AA and Indian Commissions in Maryland. I also lived in Cleveland for a while when my husband was stationed there. Can you share some of the surnames that are connected your AA ancestors from Maryland/Charles County MD.
Thanks for your consideration.
Indigenous Indian were us. What is so hard to accept?
Seems your family should be entitled o 40% of Yte wealth, right?.
Your likely 59% Indigenous
I’m working so hard to figure out how to get my grandfather’s family The Bryan Family land back on Dafauski island, and Hilton head island South Carolina. They built a golf course on half of it 😢
Manifest it! I hope that you are successful in your mission. 💯

See if there's a land patent for it via glorecords.blm.gov...if so you will just send for a certified copy and I upon receipt have the issuing court house officially re-deed the land to your family.
My great grandfather and his parents came from Charlestown. Montgomery's and her parents were Pearson's
the problem is people get their history lesson from hollywood
And America schools
The wrong story from his prospective
FACTS!
Love her teaching. Having my grandchildren sit and listen to her. Quiz them afterwards and rewarded them for correct answers.
You're a great teacher for that yourself! We need elders like you!
As a Dane with English as her second language, it's a pleasure to listen to this lady. She speaks slowly and distinct - it's very easy to follow for a foreigner. Thank you.
Y’all white folks are foreigners remember y’all came from Europe
@@derickscott9123 At some point everyone was a foreigner. Homo Sapiens originates from the African continent.
I learned a lot. They should teach this to everyone. Especially in our schools. Thanks for putting this out there
Oh yeah that CRT boogeyman
Exactly FACTS
They haven't. And they won't. They've spent generations trying to suppress this. WE must do it ourselves.
I appreciate this history lesson, as a Great Great Great Granddaughter Of Nat Turner, I have always loved history and found peace in learning more and more about it. This was a beautiful peace continue to be the Storytellers story for us
Are you really related to Nat Turner? I would love to interview you. Contact me.
@@FBAquicksand lmao kid
You might be related to my best friend Antwan Turner. Who lives in Franklin VA right now.
Nat Turner didn't kill enough people he should've killed thousands of these mother fucker
Katerina Turner, Sorry I am late to your comment but if you're still alive I suggest you go to youtuber Dane Calloway and have a youtube conference with him to let him know that Nat Turner is not a fictional character as he appears to be trying to assert.
I was born and raised in Charleston and never learned any of this . She explained things very well . Our people have endured so much . Wow😢
Is what, in my opinion, makes learning the truth so worth it. Maybe a type of retribution? The only retribution that, in my opinion, can be given. The only explanation,..the truth. So I'm now wondering whenl defecto slavery started by color, and indenturement ended, as was the reason for Anthony Johnson descendants loosing inherited land.

My Great Great Grandfather came from Sumter, SC and migrated to Texas. He was a freeman lastname Bowen.
My family are from Texas and my nanny would tell me her family were never slaves and they owned land. Texas was a Indian empire one of the biggest forts " fort Worth" was built to protect the settlers from the Indians.
@@allthingsflowers yes ma'am I'm back 4 generations in census records in 1790 the beginning and my grandma told me the same thing. We come from free ppl. My family still owns alot of land. Its interesting you use the term Nanny we do too.
My nanny was from Palestine Texas. Then I have Burnett's in my family that lives in Burnett Texas, Williams, Smith and Arthur
Most of us come from the SouthEast Woodlands. SC,NC, Tenn,Ala, Florida, Miss, etc. Im Sumter, SC,born, Texas raised.
There are BOWENS here in BARBADOS,there is an historical connection.
Dear Madame Yeldell, as a descendant of the Gullah people of South Carolina Sea Islands, I thoroughly enjoyed your and Mr. Drayton's presentation on the history of free Black Americans in the Lowcountry region. I am now subscribed to your channel and will catch up to all the parts of this series. Thank you for this education. I tried to learn as much as I could from my Gullah grandmother before she passed away years ago. Many things she stayed hush-hush about -- she spoke a little about Charleston and Beaufort and a lot less about Whitehall -- but I'm learning more and more, starting with history such as in this video.
Again, thank you.
Respectfully, why do you say Gullah, may I ask? My relatives there only, and always, said Geechee. I frequently visited the area as a child. I only read the term "Gullah" in the textbooks. BLESSINGS❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Great video. I am a slave history collector and own at least 15 Freedom Papers and other documents that belonged to Free Blacks during that period. It’s an area of history that needs to be told more!
Omgooodness John the Professional! That's great how did you come to obtain these rare documents, was it in an auction
American Slave history is the only History told .
@@musicartlover963 - Prob worth a $$ fortune. I'd sell a couple - LOL!
Lucid, historically accurate, succinct and yet almost all encompassing.
I love BLACK AMERICAN HISTORY especially from South Carolina!! Seeing how I’m from Columbia South Carolina
My country BARBADOS is historically connected to the carolinas,we have RILEY.S HERE
@@clarkie246l hope you see this, I am very late to your comment but ironically, my family were placed in south Carolina…from BARBADOS on my mother side. From my father side we were from Bermuda but placed in North Carolina. I feel so connected to both islands since finding this out!❤
"Now are there any questions? No questions. GREAT."
No Queen Mother.
You covered it ALL..
Thank you.
God bless you.
Florida is a fabulous lady! I could listen to her all day long. She is educated and has good knowledge
My grandfather was never a slave. He was a freedman. His name and family’s name is on the freedmen’s roll. My grandfather’s grandmother was mulatto. Her name was Martha Gantt. She is descended from Peter Gaunt, an English emigrant from Lincolnshire, England.who settled in East Sandwich, Massachusetts in 1630. The surname, “Gantt” was merely Americanized rendering of the British name Gaunt. Eventually the Gaunts acquired estates throughout the South, Alabama,South Carolina and Virginia. The most prosperous plantation and estate was in the town of Gantt Alabama. My grandfather’s name is Robert Hick Gantt. As you said his family the Gantts “Gaunts” gave him land to live on. My Grandfather married my grand mother who was of Cherokee,German , English and African descent. We were always told that our Grandfather was never a slave. Now I know why. Thanks. God bless.
Rich history down here in the lowcountry❤
Yes the story that every one came from Africa is not true .. There many tribes in the south in which we originate from and Indians became “blk/negro /colored “ anything to displace them from the land .. the census did a number on people ...that’s why it’s important to talk to the elders to get the real story ..
He was a "Freeman" - never a slave. Freedman means he was freed or bought his freedom.
Nice family history!!!!
i love the way she explained it well.
Hi good morning that you I am in Atlanta recently I received some records and I need some advice on how to get it out there please feel free to give me a call at 4703500536
More young people need to be aware of there history .
and how to spell.. "Their"
It's hard to understand why so many people have trouble in using "their", "they're" and "there" correctly. If all these people are native-born Americans it's embarrassing and an indictment on the education system. Social media, where writing skills -- or the lack thereof -- is often where we see the full display.
@@aileenahearn2794 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@peggystoutemorin4529 thank you!
So well presented and eloquently spoken. Thank you for taking time to share your knowledge and pour into us.
My heart aches so badly when I hear how things were for my ancestors
ME as well😢
All races were indentured servants or slaves. in these years. Irish, Native American Indians, Africans, Arabs, and one of color.
@@EagleArrow why are you telling me?
For this Mid East immigrant, this was a tough listen (!!)
I did mydoctoral thesis about a family from the ivory coast 🇨🇮, They arrived in Charleston, S.C. and were sold at the slave market which was located and by the way which still is located in a long wooden series of buildings , on market Street, conveniently positioned so that when slave ships would arrive from Africa, The gang plank would come down and they would march the slaves down the street into the long wooden building. A large elevated platform was where the slaves were displayed and auctioned off. These buildings and all of the artifacts are still there on market Street and daily tours are available. From one family came a line of talented men. They took the name of Brown from the owner of a plantation. eventually settled in Augusta, Georgia. The bloodlines were mixed with Apache Indians on the maternal side and a Japanese flower grower on the paternal side. and in 1928 A child was born under the name of Joseph Gardner Junior. Son to Joseph Gardner Senior and Susie Bhillings . For some unknown but urgent reason Joseph Gardner senior deemed it necessary to change his name to protect his safety. (rumored to be a gambling debt) So in 1933 He took his son to the courthouse and announced his birth as being May 1933. He said his sons name would be Joseph James Brown Junior , and his name was Joseph james Brown Senior. Joseph Junior which say in later years he remembered going to a funeral home to see his grandfather in a casket and what he saw was a small Asian man. who's grandfather on his mother side was Indian and this was before the trail of tears when the Apaches were still in the south. James Brown became the most successful black entertainer in the history of show business. Selling an incredible 700 million records and holding the Guinness book of world records for the most live concerts done by any entertainer. he was also the first entertainer of any color to purchase a New Learjet. James Brown amassed a fortune of over $200 million dollars. He received 14 Grammys , 5 American music awards , Lincoln Center honors, A Star on the Hollywood walk of fame. He was made an honorary king in Africa, every dollar that he was paid for performing in Africa was donated right back to the benefit of the people of Africa by way of a hospital ship as well as several hospitals and clinics that he paid 100% for and maintained throughout his life , financially never wanting anyone to know About his generosity to the land of his roots. it is estimated that James Brown benefited the impoverished people of Africa to the tune of $55 million. Every year he ordered 4 747-400 cargo liners from polar air cargo and sent them to different parts of Africa loaded down with over $2 million each in sophisticated medical equipment and surgical equipment. I have many photographs of these aircraft being loaded at JFK airport in New York, he never wanted this to be publicized.
Wow❤this was an awesome story!
You remind me of my aunt Inell. I miss her so much. Thank you for reminding our own people of the racism within ourselves. This is something I've dealt with to this day. Its sad history keeps repeating itself.
She was crystal with this information. Thank u great elder for teaching us about our ancestors 👏👏👏
By chance are either your paternal or maternal relatives from this area? Easter Blessings❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
During slavery we made furniture and iron veranda’s as well as architects
Because a WHITE GUY taught you.
@@wandaalexander1972 we taught our slave masters more than they could ever know. The great American story is our story sorry
I love these two teachers! The lady is so cute! She is knowledgeable.
What is their names
I can't help but wonder why people would dislike the truth.
Because the truth hurts and it's a hard pill for them to swallow. 🤷♀️
Yes, the truth often does hurt.
Because this country was built on racist lies. The most insane thing about it all is the story of how we got here didn't change until after slavery was abolished
Thank you for sharing this history, breathing new life into these events and places... Well done!
We are all human color is not inportent please be good person in life that it
Gilbert vereen-white Jr from Charleston South Carolina I love this video because I was born and raised in Charleston South Carolina and I remember story telling from my elders and I am here in El Paso Texas teaching our history so bring me some more story so I can continue learning and teaching
I grew up in North Charleston, in a community called Liberty Hill. I knew some Whites who were in there 50's in the 1970s.
Group control being achieved by "diving them", doesent begin and end with slaves. Politicians and "reporters" still do that today.
She is an excellent teacher.
This lecture was well organized, academically rigorous and very interesting. I enjoyed hearing the explanation of the impact of events and laws upon the lives of the population. Thank you so much!🥰
Wow beautiful elders eloquently speaking on history I could listen to them all day I wish there was more
Hi, Silvana! Thank you for watching and commenting. You may have already seen them, but there are five videos in the series. They're in a "African American History in the Lowcountry" playlist on the Georgetown County Library channel.
Very good presentation; thank you for sharing your immense knowledge of history.
Yessssssssssss
She is a compelling mind and charming woman, even in tone and knowledgeable on the subject. Thank you!
A gift! This is what you share with 10 people!!!
Educate as many that will accept it!
Wonderful Documentary information about How some slaves were freed in different ways. Never heard it this way. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful video information #MrsDonna
These instructors are very interesting and easy to understand and listen to, thus the information learned is more likely to be retained in long term memory of the students. They are. Excellent!!
Greetings from Canada. Thank you for posting -- very informative.
Thank you,Jesus Thank you Heavenly father...for this information
The case on reparations for Foundational Black Americans is astounding and concrete....The American government will never survive in its’ current state without paying what is owed to the descendants of the people who built the country and endured an unfathomable amount of inhumane treatment.
People do not owe you nothing okay that's your problem is you think people owe you don't know nobody owe anybody anything if anything is owed to someone it's the Jewish people get that suck into your head cuz I don't ever recall seeing a black family lead into a gas chamber or being gunned down and put in a ditch or having their infant buried alive under another grave I never heard her say anything I have never and all the history that I have read and studied seeing that during the Holocaust so what you want to say about that cuz you really want to get into the Holocaust with me I don't think so you're prejudiced and my guess is your Democrat and my guess is you believe everything you're told except the truth
CUT THE CHECKS
I love these videos! They help me to fall asleep at night because her voice is calming. They are very informative and well presented!
Interesting documentary. The narrator speaks slowly and very clearly, so people whose first language is not English, can understand everything without problems. Thanks for uploading.
I have my family records and my family was never slaves on this land.not even indentured servants . This is the most accurate historical documentation I have ever seen. great job to the beautiful presentator . She is a true historian .
Brian G How did they come to America? Were they black people? I didn’t know black people were sailing to America on their own and making a living on their own or buying land on their own. Okay maybe by the mid or latter part of the 1800’s they could have come to America by some other means.
@@MI-vn4tp Hello M I, do you believe in the Bible? If so, read Genesis 10:25 the earth was divided during the time of Peleg. This is why the Gullah, Caribbean, and west Africans speak geechie/patois/Creole, which is birthed from what is known as west Africa. It's also the reason for our phenotypes and culture. We are the original ppl of this land.
Me too my people were never slaves at all on arces of land in Collections to St George Sc. My family is the first family out of England as well as being Quakers. My 9 time great grandfather which was white was anit slavery 1690s. Tell researching my family. Strong Baptist family in St George SC
@@flashinglights7692 true true my family speak it all in St George SC
Peace brother much love to SC . A lot of people are waking up all over the map. You stated your family was hear since 1690 and your 9 times great grandfather was white. If you are black now how do you no he was white I'm not saying you are rong I'm just saying we must not asum things without soporting facts and the historical record from that time doesn't nesscersly say if they were black or white like the modern census. But historical family's Left traces of evadence mostly in your names and orally traditions because they burned and hide most of the records of the Quakers and other colony's of people in South Carolina in the 1800s so by you also knowing your history is a powerful thing
I just listened to an amazing audio book, Fifty Years in Chains, by Charles Ball. I highly recommend this book. Mr Ball was born a slave in Maryland, he gained his freedom by escaping to Philadelphia. His story is one that should be known.
I really enjoyed the video. My heart aches for the way other humans treated others . It’s horrific. ❤ God Bless you for educating us.
In 1830 my great great great grandfather was born in Georgia the population kept going up and down because the slavery owners was sending slavers back and forth between States to work his land deviding families my great great grandfather was married in South Carolina and was a servant.
A lovely lady giving this talk. Thank you.
I beg to differ about blending in . The servants did not speak the Queen's English. They have rough skin from hard work and wore clothes that distinguished them. They had dispositions that were easy to describe.
Thank you for everything my great great parents in slavery is ruff learning this in sad way love my people 😊
Your not black your white
In all this I learnt our ancestors built America for free. Tragic, tragedy and disheartening. Not a dime given. Even till now they have not given then reparations. I weep!
@Gorgon Don you are an arsehole. You don't know what one must feel to be in such a position. Do you know what it means to be stripped off your identity, your name, culture and not where to go. I suggest you shut that foolish mouth of yours up.
He is right about one thing we have choices sista. Now we can reclaim what has been loss and we can find a place that resonates with our soul in the motherland. I wept too but then I realized it time to go home momma Africa is calling her children home.
no they were paid and....I love passing FOR BLACK IN THE USA, then you get all the pity from white and black girls PLUS everyone treats me better because they're afraid I'll get all cry-baby and call them a racist.
My father is from south Carolina. He is 84 and you could not force him to move to Africa.. which is sad.. if he went there he would be rich.
@siksika Its not history...the Trillions of dollars this country has is PRESENT not the past and the poverty American Blacks battle is present as well.
My family has roots in VA, SC, and GA. I come triracial people. They were free farmers. Thank you for telling our stories.
Thank you. Very well spoken and thorough presentation.
Our peoples is some powerful black peoples 🙏🏾
I love the way she shows her documents to support all the points she's making, unlike young people nowadays who think they can become experts on a subject by bringing up an article on google. RIP great lady.
Just visited Charleston for the first time, this helps so much to understand the history of the region
EDUCATIONAL AND ENLIGHTING; THE PRESENTERS WERE EXCELLENT IN THE PRESENTATIONS AND KEPT MY INTREST!!!!!🥰
Finally,..the unbiased truth. Thank you for this presentation. I have been searching, studying hoping to reach a heritage, or attainable sense of historical significance as a black man. I now know the missing information between the currents bringing Africans to this continent, Columbus naming the black Karibs of the Carribean, Indios. I also have the missing origin of the reclassified, through Walter Pleckers, 'Racial Purity Act',negro from aboriginal to slave, and how so.e of the black Moors ar rd living as slaves from Europe. This benifited them initially, 'The Moorish Sundry Act' was necessary later to keep them from being enslaved, due to their color. Sincerely, thank you.
I am appreciative of your channel for the historical information that you provide. Thank you
I’m truly enjoying,and learning so much about history and culture of black people, I m thankful to you for posting this video,leaves me thirsty for more

Indentured Servitude was the contract that we, the so-called black people, entered into helping, teaching &c the colonist farm and survive.
By the adult life of the third/fourth generation(s), the children being separated from their parents (kin) and raised/educated/indoctrinated &c by the so-called slavers, became less aware (to fully unaware) of the contractual agreements and thier lineage (aboriginal tribal heritage) is when the system of chattel slavery (as we now know and recognize) began.
Thanks for posting this. I love history so most of this is/was not new to me but I enjoyed it. Ken Burns has a great documentary call slavery the making of America where he addresses Africans coming from England as indigent servants and how the first African indigent servant was placed into slavery he also mentions his name I can't remember the first name but the last name was Angola which he believes is the country that the African came from. Love this please post more...
