- Wye House from Wikpedia
The Wye plantation was settled in the 1650s by a Welsh Puritan and wealthy planter, Edward Lloyd. Between 1780 and 1790, the main house was built by his great-great-grandson, Edward Lloyd IV.[3] It is cited as an example between the transition of Georgian and Federal architecture, which is attributed to builder Robert Key. Nearby the house is an orangery, a rare survival of an early garden structure where orange and lemon trees were cultivated, and which still contains its original 18th century heating system of hot air ducts.[4]
During its peak, the plantation surrounding the house encompassed 42,000 acres (17,000 ha) and housed over 1,000 slaves.[5] Though the land has shrunk to 1,300 acres (530 ha) today, it is still owned by the descendants of Edward Lloyd, now in their 11th generation on the property. Frederick Douglass spent a few years of his life on the plantation, around the ages of seven and eight, and spoke extensively of the brutal conditions of the plantation in his autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.
Que belleza las plantaciones y la historia
Douglass never considered the Lloyds his family. I was surprised to hear that comment. Just the opposite is true. Douglass himself described the Lloyds’ inhumane, barbaric treatment of slaves. Read chap 2 of David Blight’s biography of Frederick Douglass. He paints a graphic portrait of slaves’ lives on the Lloyds’ plantation, where adults wielded whips with impunity.
