Urban Slavery at the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters

- čas přidán 8. 12. 2018
- Cosmos Mariner Productions produced this new short video for Telfair Museums’ Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters in Savannah highlighting the groundbreaking things the museum is doing to tell the little-known stories of the enslaved people who toiled behind the scenes in this sumptuous Southern mansion.
Our crew cataloged the meticulous preservation work carried out by experts inside the Owens-Thomas House's slave workspaces, interviewed scholars who have conducted original research into the identities of the enslaved individuals, and even painstakingly re-enacted the hours-long culinary tasks and backbreaking laundry work they performed here more than a century and a half ago.
We are very proud of our film, and we hope that, after you've enjoyed it online, you'll visit the museum yourself to see the wonderful new exhibit in person!
Oh my goodness finally someone dispels the myth that house slaves somehow had it good....Those slaves still had fear of sexual assult were on call 24 hours and were often subject to extreme cruelty...field work was back breaking ...house work was also highly labor intensive...slavery on all levels was an abomination
Sidenote: When did slaveowners become employers, what the hell?
The "myth" isn't that they had it good. No one ever said that I'm sure. What has been said is that house slaves had it better...labor intensive work and backbreaking work with less than minimal food is NOT the same. They r both horrid but if I had a choice (as I think many would), I'd choose to be a house slave. I'm just saying, let's be real here.
They still were very good at smoothing over the realness of the situation. The slave women in this video are clean, moving lightly about and they have clear skin and nice teeth. Why don't they show these actors with movie make up? Show the skin burns from the lye. Give a closeup of the blood shot and black eyes from being beaten and made to stay up day and night. Where is the tattered clothing? I've read more than once that slaves were only given clothes about twice a year and none of it was ever new. This video is based on a lot of bull 💩
@@locsbyholiday2231 Ironically, field slaves actually had more freedom than house slaves-at least after sunset each day. House slaves were often treated like abused house pets. Imagine living under the watchful eye of a bored or resentful house mistress 24/7, getting beat on for sport.
Who said they had it good? Field slaves got raped as well. Stop comparing 🤦🏿♀️
Terrible whoremonger husbands. Ugly people with dark spirits.
If those wall's could talk
They could tell a story better than any Hollywood producer.
Ouuuuu exactly
@@cheyennenicole2114 I'll sit and listen all day long.
I'll sit with you so we both can listen together.
Gepetta Tylor : the stories the walls would tell will probably put holocost to zero.
These little history shows are trying to soften the torture of slavery.
Feather-Spirit Tarot Exactly!! The white guilt of them all! It was horrific but these degenerates nowadays don’t think it was
Yes indeed
Feather-Spirit Tarot I agree
Yes!
OMG that's exactly what there doing ..
Those who owns slaves.should have a special place in hell
That was just the way of life back then, but the ones that abuse, rape and the evil we can’t even imagine they will have there place.
Laura Durham how does one enslave without abuse? How does that look? You sound delusional! Let me enslave you while promising not to “abuse” you. EVERYTHING ABOUT SLAVERY IS ABUSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........
Considering that the Bible condones and has a lot of rules for slavery it's definitely not a sin. Well, only if you didn't follow all the rules in dealing with capturing, beating or having sex with them.
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5).
Slave owners who followed the Bible aren't in hell.
@@Cynnas The Bible has been written by white men so man times of course it's not going to say it's a sin
Apryl’s Page you have a very small brain you missed my point😳
They were enslaved not employed
PERIOD ‼️
You know they try to whitewash their crimes.
Yeah, that's why they said they were enslaved in the very beginning and throughout the entire video. Did you actually watch it?
Right, why was the one speaker referring to these women as having jobs.
@@halloweenheathen4394 I did watch it .. if you must know .
Did she say employers how can she say that as a blk woman
@Dragon Slayer Are you fucking serious? They could not leave and do what they wanted to do. You try it.
@Dragon Slayer 😕😒💩
@Dragon Slayer U crazy!
Exactly why this is a TRASH a. . video
Simple. These women of color holds no anger those oppressors. They love them wayyyy too much. If they were alive during the slave period. These two would be singing a different tune.
Bad conditions are never a good thing because "historians" can have stories to tell. Slavery was all-around barbaric as were the enslavers. Sadly I believe some of this historical retrospection takes on a nostalgic character.
Yeah. Did you also find it weird how the Narrator repeatedly said, "...both black & white who called it home." As if those black people were welcomed part of the family, & they just felt right at home. It is a ridiculous notion.
I was thinking the same thing. I’m thinking so we’re supposed to ignore what happened when they didn’t or even DID do what they were told to do. Get out here. There is no nostalgia anywhere in slavery. Let’s talk about where they slept. Oh wait they didn’t get any sleep. Let’s talk about what they ate. Let’s talk about where their husbands and children were.
@Rosco P. Coltrane Wow! I guess all those Christians and Africans who sold slaves are exempt from wrong doing!😡
He did say "The wealthy whites who lived in relative comfort upstairs". However, the Nostalgia feeling, I agree. It lulls you in..
@@janjISMYname Yes. Sugar coat it. Throw away the brutality of the task. Just get over it. WOW! Hell no!
Job!!!! Employers!!!!! Smh the shackles were removed but the mind remained enslaved
yinka321 the mindset surely
Yep
Employers?! Correction bih: enslavers! Get it straight!!! Slaves were not paid, so they were not employees!!
Veronica Andrews smh this is beyond insulting this type of ignorance is astounding seriously
Good day.good people.bad people and assholes.i'm signing off.
I am confident that those Enslaved people that had to deal with inhumane treatment for YEARS..Did Not call the Owen-Thomas house HOME ...smh
Yeah, that rubbed me the wrong way too! Home is more than a place you are forced to live in! They would definitely have lived somewhere else if they could have is my belief! A prison is a prison not a home!
No that was not Sally's home she was a slave and never the lady of the house Sally was just a bed side peace

2020 and slavery is still being sugar coated 🤨
Explain please. Sounded like the exact opposite to me. They made it sound like cooking and laundry were a highly skilled task.
Please tell your side of history
It’s important not to forget it but people these days need to not act like they were the ones enslaved and take it out on white people that weren’t born yet either
@@noeldee9236 but white people still benefit off slavery till this very day.
@@LisaF777 exactly how ? They try to say the Holocaust never happened but we have BHM shoved in our faces .
It's weird that they go from talking about the enslaved to upbeat music talking about HVAC and new floor.
That's exactly what I thought!
Exactly
Speaks volumes doesn’t!!😓
I thought the same thing...
Like that Transition was soooo obvious and horrible
Why are you calling it a job it's not like these people got paid or had a choice to do what they did really?
Yes some one got paid The Blacks that sold the blacks were paid
@@janet.oboutte1349 These slaves that they are speaking of were not being paid. Please stop being ridiculous.
@@janet.oboutte1349 What percentage of slaves were sold and what percentage were stolen?????ill wait
@@OzWiingsLLC they were all sold once they realized there was money to be made by kidnapping their own people and selling them
@@jakobwilliams7763 what's the percentage.?..because that seems to be a rebuttal to place blame on all sides. If 10% were black...whats the point of bringing that up? Tell me how many blacks were sold by other blacks.....
They were property & were not paid!!
Right why are they calling them employers!! They were slave owners!!!
Sad, their payment was to try and live
Only the blacks that sold the blacks were paid So yes some were paid
@@janet.oboutte1349 true. but also slaves got paid when rented out. owner contracted them out to other plantations and the normal agreement was a 60% to owner/40% to slave from what i can tell from the few contracts i ran across. the ones i read were for woodworkers and stone masons who had sought after talents. that was how many of them managed to become manumitted. they contracted out and bought their freedom. fyi my neighbors are bouttes'. south louisiana line.😊
Imagine! Free labour.
She said these people were forgotten? How? We are reminded daily that our ancestors were slaves. And if we were to try to foget, Hollywood makes a new slave movie every year. What in the world?
Just Ask Me a new, TERRIBLE movie every year🙄
They are not forgotten. I was born in Ohio, lived with my Grandparents that lived off RT.4 , the sandusky road, my Grandmother took us to places that were connected with the underground rail road, I am thankfull for her. and have always been interested in this.
I think she means most of their names have been lost to history.
The slave names are forgotten.
It’s about time a black owned production company narrate black history not Hollywood and blacks should never try to forget its our history
They are never forgotten. All the hard work and pain our ancestors went through will always be edged in our memories.
Their imprint is in the 'Core of America,' They paved the right, for me to be called an 'American" My Country! and they are written all over it! They raised President's. They gaved Suckling to them, I am proud of them! A great heritage, I came from. I can go head and get paid, I can trace my own history and the town on into Slavery! If that's what's holding my Mule and 15 acres up! Solved!
Help us Lord. Our women are crazy...
Does she truly believe they are employees 🧐🙄. I get paid at my job I’m allowed breaks to eat and use the restroom, I go home at night, nobody at work will put their hands on me.. I am paid wages with health benefits 🤷🏾♀️ I’m confused
Slaves didn’t have to get paid a wage because master provided food and shelter ...now you get paid chump change to live off of the plantation and now you pick your master ...instead of being called a slave you’re an employee ...remember federal minimum wage is pretty low ...
Nitabonita86 BG you think they beat their slaves ??? They paid $800 for 1 if you beat me I’m not working tf ...please use your brain
Nitabonita86 BG she got it very VERY wrong there.
Flonnie Moore wouldn’t need benefits if there’s no one charging you for free stuff 😂
Flonnie Moore you right im aware of how slavery expanded .You’re just a well domesticated sheep .Working for free things 🙂🙃🙂🙃paying with your Monopoly money
How did we go talking about the slaves and how they were done to talking about a whole home.improvemrnt show. I want to know more about what my ancestors endured. Not how we take a house of blood and turn it into the Hamptons to once again cover and marinate lies.#Harriate Tubman

as someone whose ancestor escaped from a s.c. plantation, i deeply appreciate the frank, honest and straight talk about skill, physical and psychological danger the enslaved daily transgressed🙁
I visited a Rice Plantation near Charleston SC a few years back and was saddened to the point of anger at how the tour guides barely mentioned the fact that it was a run by slaves. The tour guide went on at length about the artwork in the home, the European honeymoon of the Plantation owners daughter, dress styles and every other tidbit that romanticized the Plantation. Nothing about the lives of the slaves, their living conditions etc.
Reparations now!!
Pretty sure I toured the same Rice Plantation and had the same experience. Fortunately, many historians and historic locations are now trying to tell the stories of those enslaved. But, we have a long way to go to shed light on the full history of this country.
@@SPACEMAN70000 The taxpapers are innocent and owe you nothing.
It isn't as easy as you make it out. I use to work at a historic house. If you don't talk about slavery then you get the anger that you are throwing. If you do talk about slavery then you are accused of "gloryfing slavery". If you present slavery at a museum and display slavery items and artifacts then people say the display is "insensitive". So basiclly, "you're racist if you do and you're racist if you don't. Also, in history, historic places usualy only present what they can prove that happened at THAT site. So many slavery artifacts and documents are lost to history they really don't know what happened at some particular sites. Often slaves only have a first name and could not write thus making it even harder to find primary source documents. Historic sites are under constant attacks from people like you. A history museum is not the guiuklty party here. So instead of attacking a historic site, why dont YOU go and research that site's slavey population and gather all the documents and once you have done all that work you can present it to the site so they can have a story to tell that is to your liking. Then you will see that it isn't as easy as you think.
@@ednakelley814 Then why are the Jewish communities being paid still to this day reparations!? We are owed and owed a lot! One day we will be paid!

Thank you. People have misinformation about slaves that lived “in the big house.” It wasn’t any easier being a slave there either.
The ones living in the big house had it worse than the ones in the fields in some ways , cause they was right under the masters noses.
They were less likely to be whipped. And they were often treated better (the old rule of don't mess with people who handle your food applies here)
krishna murthy lies lies lies lies
@@Xvz2 You sound like my 4 year old son when I ask him whether he drew on the walls
Brilliant Radiance she is not lying. I mean yes it was horrible. I am not justifying anyone ever owning a slave. Ever. No one should have ever been a slave but many times the families did treat them well and provided them with food and housing. Yes there were a lot of those who were really mean to them as well and that is so sad and has caused generational pain and hurt. None of us can do anything about that now but these slaves were humans and all had stories. If we erase these stories, it is like we erase them. I think it’s great to honor their memories and despite it being a dark history, it was still their story.
I freaking LOOOOVE LOVE L🖤VE American history!!! Although these facts/stories are hard for some to accept, hear about and watch.... I absolutely NEEED & appreciate things like this. As a Black Woman truly living the American Dream, I appreciate these complex stories and reminders of WHO I AM & WHERE I COME FROM!!!
My Great Grandmother did laundry. Carrie Young of Dallas.
They ironed sheets and all.
J Woo God Bless her and my grandma (s) too
My great grandmother was born in 1900 - 1901 and was a laundress, I still was my underwear by hand
I wonder if any of these slaves knew about poisonous herbs.. I wouldn’t want to but ... it may have crossed my mind had I been alive back then..
Winnie Johnson Imagine spending that many hours of your day to run someone else’s home and take care of their lives, no time to care for yourself or own family 😩 that’s depressing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hear you sis🙂
Serenity very distressing and sad indeed..
That's what I just said. These people would be eating pig and human feces covered in delicious spices until they get sepsis 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I would have poisoned every single "employer" in that household including the children.
I didn’t know housework for spaces was so backbreaking and dangerous... they always made it seem in school that it was the “preferable” and “easy” job! Those living quarters look disgusting! Horrible!!!!
The living qauter look great back then Should see some of the living qauters drug slaves live in to day
I visited this place last year while on a road trip. I liked the fact that the tour focused mostly on the black lives that labored in this house. Our tour guide wasn't having it when white people in the tour were trying to ask so many questions about the art and the luxury of that the white owners lived in, she always brought it back to the reality that life wasn't good for all but a few who lived there.
Dispite the people who run this house trying to share the black stories of the past (not saying they told the full reality), walking around Historic Shavanna was a eye opener. The only black people i saw worked in the service industry. The restaurants were full of white patrons only (except for my husband and i) but I saw plenty of black people working service minimum wage jobs , serving them.
I guess i shouldn't have been surprised since I was in the deep south, but it's still staunchly noticeable.
As beautiful as the area was, the uncomfortableness i felt in the atmosphere made me want to leave after our visit.
I knowwwwwwwwwww this place is HAUNTEDDDDD!!!!!!!
Is visitation to this location free? If not, I think you’ve already had the free labor of my ancestors so giving anyone another means of profit doesn’t work for me.
yes wake us up teach us better. thank you.
I understand your point, but if we dont pay to visit historical sites, they slowly fall into disrepair and disappear. There is so much value in places like this. Future generations need to learn. Not providing for its upkeep kills the stories of the people who were exploited. It allows us to forget and minimize what occured.
Rebecca Swanson We have already paid enough. If you are ADOS, this should not cost you. There should be a responsibility by the same system that perpetuated slavery to upkeep this form of HIStory.
Christine S The same system that utilized slavery should be responsible for the upkeep of these “HIStorical” places. At what point do we stop paying?
@@HisEssenceofLife - Historical sites are owned by historical societies not the government in most cases. If you would rather see them erased than maintained, then don't patronize them. Most historical sites are small and staffed by volunteers. The truth is, most people don't care about them and government funds wont save them. They will just go away and be forgotten. With that said, I do think that most offer free admission on some days and to school groups.
Why is this country no longer teaching this in schools ? We have history so it is never repeated there for it must be taught in schools ! Please teach this in schools .
What do you mean "why is his country no longer teaching this in schools?" What has really happened to African Americans in this country has never been put into American history books. I think a better question would be, why is this history not told in American history books? What Americans get in American history books is a bit on Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks and maybe one or two other African Americans. The powers-that-be will not allow the truth 2 be told because of the horrific nature of slavery and Jim Crow laws. The powers-that-be don't want White American Children and Youth to know how barbaric their forefathers really were because it might cause them trauma and they may look upon their forefathers the same way African-Americans do- with disdain. They will be seen as unfair, unrighteous and unjust ppl. But thanks to CZcams true African American history is being told to White children, youth and college students. What young white people can learn from the atrocities done to African Americans is, don't do as your forefathers did- Hate someone because of the color of their skin. don't pass down hate to your children. See African Americans and all other races as equals . Give a person a chance to show you who they are and if they are not good people then discard them for not being good people not because of the color of their skin.
Our History goes back way further than American slavery My friend. Teach the Children that History.
Please don't teach my kids none of this! Teach them Black history! But teach them the whole truth. Don't sugar code it, Tell of all groups in society that had a hand in the Pychological damage the slave and their descentant endured and is enduring! Tell them what is being done to prevent this from happening again. Tell them how we received 15 acres and a mule! Tell them how black towns were burned down ond rebuilded! You are exactly right! That did not ever happen! If the truth can not be told. Do what you been during! Don't say nothing!
There is so much slavery to day The worst is drug slaves they them selves will sell their own babies are souls And you would like to teach that in schools Are you kidding
@@teresawicks-kq3bq Listen our Blacks sold Blacks Yes our own kind sold us for Penny's and that's life and we need to learn from this
I was doing demolition job in Newport Rhode Island and just found a female house slaves headwear with blood on it and also found her apron with it also her clothes she used and everything in the ceiling and floors! Was such and emotional experience being a African American man!!
Sadly, slavery is still going strong in the world, everywhere. Look at sex trafficking, enslaved in Dubai, in Saudi Arabia, Haití, India, Africa. It is often young girls. They are offered 'jobs' but sold to others. Slavery has always been. I watch their stories on here & it sickens me.
Lol, poor yanks. She names one city, three countries, followed by an entire continent. And of course, in a video about slavery in the U.S., they promptly redirect the focus away from the U.S. to everywhere else. It's like clock work. Caucasian Americans are comical in their zeal to wash the past away, while benefiting from its systems today ;). Anywho, back to slavery in Timbuktu...
“Employers” you have got to be kidding
Was this a HGTV special? 🤔 Employers?! Since when?!
FOR REAL!!!
Very similar to being a household servant in terms of your daily life - but with one massive difference. You were owned and couldn’t walk out. The importance of this should never ever be underestimated, how ever hard the lives of the labouring poor were.
It’s absolutely incredible to find slave quarters in such amazing condition. Field slaves, as far as I know, for the most part lived in wooden shacks, all of which have long since rotted and fallen apart, so it’s absolutely wonderful to have this cultural gem in such amazing condition. I know it’s impossible, but I would give almost anything to be able to speak so one of the women that worked in the home, because I know for a fact a lot of them went through hell on earth, they did more than just cook and clean, they were often used for sexual gratification as well, and were brutally punished if they said a word about it. I am a white man, but my nearest and dearest friend is African American, whose ancestors were slaves, and they passed the stories down through the generations, just to hear them makes you weep. I can’t even begin to describe the horrific conditions that they faced, being treated like animals, or even worse. They weren’t considered to be humans, but they were literally looked at, as animals, no exaggeration, and cruel slave owners wouldn’t think twice, about whipping somebody to death, lynching them, beating them, sexually abusing both men and women, the list goes on forever (The most horrifying sexual abuse being fuck breaking, something so horrific I’m not going to tell you what it is, just Google it if you want to know, because I can’t say it). Just because I’m not black doesn’t mean I can’t be equally outraged, and horribly saddened, by such a cruel history, especially because my family is of colonial English dissent (some settled in Canada, but most in the southern USA) they were quite wealthy, and owned many plantations, along with hundreds of slaves, something I am so ashamed of. I know I can’t change the past, but God I wish I could, it eats at me, constantly, but there’s nothing I can do, that will ever take that feeling away. The only thing I can do now, is say I am so sorry on behalf of my ancestors behavior, they were evil bastards, whom I pray are burning in hell where they belong! I don’t have a lot of details, but I do know that one of my ancestors from the 1800s, was infamous for literally beating his slaves to death just for the fun of it, literally, for no other reason then to just do it, to put the fear of God in the other slaves. It was their way of preventing an uprising, as the slaves outnumbered the white masters by at least 20 to 1, but they were so terrified, and no matter where they went, they would be treated as criminals back then (they still are today!🤬🤬🤬🤬). I don’t know if this means anything to the black community, but from the deepest depths of my immortal eternal soul, I am so sorry for what my ancestors did to your ancestors, and with Trump spreading his ignorant hatred, we’re starting to revert back to that time, but we need to move forward. It’s just a horrible nightmare, one that we can’t awake from, because it’s being revived as we speak, thanks to the hatred in the White House, or as I call it, the ALL White House. I’ve always been fascinated with two things, history, and the paranormal, by chance, the two go hand-in-hand. I’ve learned so much history through my paranormal investigations, unfortunately I’m in Toronto, which is a relatively young city compared to the rest of the world, so we really don’t have that much history, Although we do have a lot of hauntings, the first English settlements were in the late 1700s, and officially, Slavery never existed in Canada, unofficially though, it did! I love my country, but the historians are hypocrites, because I know for a fact, the way Black people have been treated in this country since day one, was hellish, not much better than the way they were treated in the south. My mother is from Nova Scotia, a small town just outside Halifax, I have a huge family there but because I’m in Toronto, I seldom get the chance to go there, however, during my last visit two years ago, my jaw hit the ground, when I drove through a small town that was practically 100% black, why? As I quickly discovered from the locals, Extreme horrific racism, that’s why! In 2020, here in Canada, we still have towns that are predominantly black, because they can’t live anywhere else, without fearing for their safety and for their lives, and I’m sorry to my fellow Canadians who might take offence to what I’m telling you, but that’s the truth, there is no escaping it, we have to own up to it, and do everything we can to try to change it, I did try to start an online group from my home here in Toronto, for the people of that town in Nova Scotia, but nobody seemed to care. I tried for two years, but the only people that signed up for it was few Black people from that town, the rest of them were too afraid to say anything, for fear of being labeled a trouble maker...Can you believe that? This is where my whiteness shows, I am so naïve and ignorant, because I had thought that things like this did not exist in my country in modern times, but I was wrong, and again, whatever happens to you guys in the states, happens to us here in Canada. Trump has agitated and excited all the racist bastards all across Canada, and I am shocked and saddened at just how many of them there truly are, especially in a country that brags about how multicultural we are. We’re not multicultural, we’re segregated, that’s not what I call multiculturalism. True multiculturalism, at least for me, is people of every ethnicity living together, in one community, in harmony and peace... am I alone in thinking that? What do you think? I would really be interested to hear your feedback, and thank you for listening, and again, typical Canadian, I have to say sorry, a million times over, and it still doesn’t begin to make up for what my ancestors did 😰😰😰😰😰😰
DUDE YOU'RE ONE LONG WINDED MOTHERFUCKER. SORRY YOU THINK YOU NEED TO ATTONE FORONG DEAD PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT THEY DID. GET OVER IT ALREADY 🥴🥴🥴

I loved every single word of it 👏. So much truth!
You are full of shit. Pretending to be exactly what you're not. You get off on all the abuse. You're probably a rapist
The whole idea of slavery has always been appalling to me! I'm soon-to-be 66 and I remember taking the bus frequently with my grandmother, and then the black people were loaded to the back of the bus! I knew I knew at
6 years old something did not seem right to me. And which my grandmother never really explained to me. I learned little by little as I got older that black people were so severely mistreated. I always felt horrible in my gut about this. I don't know how much better it has gotten since then. Nowhere near the equality as it should be...
ellen, thats not what slavery is
As a young man I used to get mad at these videos and movies, but it makes me appreciate Black women more than ever because I could never be with a white woman after everything I seen my women go through. That's why I cherish y'all for this and I personally just wanna say thank you.
Fair play to you jerrmaine im an irishwoman my daddy always taught me that we owe it to our ancestors to settle with our own, l support blacklove, a black family is your best weapon
@@danielinnicg2114 I do believe that, too bad not all Black men do.
I’m glad people are highlighting and including the fact that slavery existed and its devastating effects on all involved that reverberate into the present day. These rich people couldn’t have been so rich had it not been for their free labor for centuries.
I really just don’t know what reality we are living in anymore! These people are presenting this like it’s so cleaned up! And not the true horrors of how it really was! People laughing and nice background music. WOW. And visitors will be given cleaned up versions. That’s America! Let’s keep it cool, calm and collective! And the move on.
So god awful that human beings could ever, ever ever treat others with such vicious cruelty! Evil
It is still happening in other countries.
@Craig F. Thompson I'm not from the U.S. so my comment stands. The U.S. is a majorly screwed up country that acts like a third world country.
@Craig F. Thompson My apologies, I came across as quite rude. You did add to my comment. I'm from Canada.
Only God knows why such ugliness ever happened for over 400 plus years. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Hell is real.
Uh the Bible literally tells us over and over why.
What are you talking about over 400+ years? Slavery has been around literally since the dawn of human civilization and underground slavery, human trafficking, sex slavery today, by some estimates, is bigger than it’s ever been
The affects of slavery is imprinted in our DNA. It will never go away, until The Most High truly set us free.
One of the ways to change the inprint of the torch is to do ourself a favor and forgive!
Employers? Really lady?
REVERSAL COMING....HE THAT LEADTH INTO CAPITIVITY SHALL GO INTO CAPTVITY.....
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5)
Don't turn to the Bible for solace, it's all about slavery and how to properly treat and beat and rape slaves.

That's why I absolutely HATE when people say "unskilled" labor when referring to black slaves. We're talking about jobs that you have to trained to do WITH SKILL today. Academia isn't synonymous with skill and/or talent. Some people also act like being a slave was easy work...a laid back job. Smh
Why does she keep saying employers????😑
Priestess Yemaya Yansa The Water Witch because "owners" would probably trigger people too much, but I guess people get triggered anyhow.
for your sake!
Remembering is important.
Rememberance
Forget it! Move on! If you don't, you will continue to look backward and bump into another wall. Look ahead, now to the future. Don't dwell on this!
Woah- did she just say “employers” @:46 ?? 😞
You said employees as though the slaves listen to what I said slaves had a choice and being there they weren't employed they were slaves.
omg. I went to see this house and took the tour. I will never forget my experience i hope to bring my children here as well. This was truly an eye opening experience.
The narrative at this historic house museum is more authentic and complete now that is has incorporated the stories of ALL who lived inside of the mansion. The enslaved people at the Owens-Thomas house were marginalized and forgotten, but now visitors have the opportunity to discover what life in the 1800s was like for those forced into chattel slavery in the U.S.
It's amazing how this plantation is being so well taken care of but it was NOT a home for blacks & whites. Why can't people understand how bad whites treated blacks from the 1600's to when slavery ended. I'm white but it breaks my heart how one race of human beings treated another race back then and how people are still treating one another now. History should NEVER be forgotten. I lived near a school that was for black kids that was turned into a museum and was told by one of the kids that attended that very school that she was honored that I was teaching me 9 yr old daughter (now 15) so much history from that time. It still breaks my heart to this day when I learn more & more history from before my time.
Yes I'm from savannah and my grandmother worked in one of these homes for years..slavery is slavery..period
Because we haven't dealt with this shameful past we continue to see atrocities like the current day lynchings we are living through today. I'm glad the historians in this video made the connection that the past is very relevant and until we deal with it we cannot move forward.
I wonder if the cooks sneaked some of the food and ate it while they were preparing it ? I think I would have.
If any had been caught it would have been a horrible whipping or worse.
@@Lynnmaria54 at least they would be full. It's a shame the way things were.
Nate Turner forever
@@baronpayne3326 Boomer, CZcams *Dr. Ray Hagins - "What is Christianity?"* The book was written by the Romans lol. It's basically a contradictory chain letter that took centuries to create. "Jesus" is the SUN god...not the SON of God. (look up "Jesus the SUN god up on CZcams. The video will enlighten you). There's a reason why church is held on a SUN-day instead of the biblical "sabbath". Your pastor (or pulpit pimp)
Might come up with a great, rehearsed explanation for that, but you need to know what's up. Also, tithing money wasn't a thing in the Bible. It was livestock, items, fabrics and goods, etc
But the church is a lucrative business 😉 and the sheep will follow; unfortunately, especially the black ones 🐑🖤💔😑
But honestly, just what's happening here - why are black people the ONLY RACE OF PEOPLE that embrace and condone the same religion that was beaten into their ancestors when they were slaves. The SAME ANCESTORS whose eyes were gouged out of their skulls, while they were still ALIVE, if they were caught reading anything BUT the Bible! This is why some black people give these "passes" to white people to use this type of language around them; why they are so complacent, and why MLK Jr. is propped up more than Malcolm ☓. Stop being so gullible. Ask more questions, and think for yourself.
The Bible is what gives my family the audacity to justify the fact that KKK Klan meetings were often held in the four walls of their church, by telling me that "these are different times now" 🙄. I'M the outcast because I'm NOT a Christian.
Funny how they all tell me "it's just a burning bush 😒" when I suggest they take another look at the Presbyterian symbol! It's a fucking cross on fire 🔥! Regardless of what child-like tale they've been told to soften the blow, that's what it represents.
Idc what color you paint Jesus! In Catholicism, the IHS symbol = Isis, Horus, and Set from Egyptian _mythology_ . "The Holy Trinity".
CZcams the video by _See U In History_ called "Egyptian Mythology, and notice the similarities between white Jesus, and Horus. It's everywhere, really. (There's an obelisk in Washington D.C for example. Egyptian/African symbols have been pimped to the four reaches of the world. Be honest.)
Black people are really out here thinking they're "woke" but refuse to actually WAKE UP! 🙄😂
I couldn't condone practicing the religion given to me by my ancestors' slave masters anyway; because...common sense would've told me something doesn't add up. They just found a copy of the "slave bible" where they keep all the "slaves obey your earthly masters" type of passages, and leave out everything empowering, but either version is trash 🚮 to me 🤣🤓🚃🍎👫📚🚸🎓✏️💻😏
Idc what color you paint "Jesus", the Bible is _indeed_ THEIR Bible. Jesus is simply the sun...not "A" son. The Hebrew Israelite movement is just another PsyOp to regain confidence in the Bible, because slowly but surely, black people are moving away from the texts as they find more contradictions and fallacies in them. Paint Jesus black though, and he's more relatable. Then it's us against the world lol. We got next, but I'm not waiting up for "God" to keep his word!
Nat Turner killed other black people
His name was Nat Turner, not Nate!
Me: The people that lived in these houses and owned these houses OWNED HUMAN BEINGS
Them: "But the plumbing in this house is just amazing"
Wow while they're talking about the walls and plumbing and the other lady reflected back on the slaves!
Give em' a peanut butter sandwich, that food these ladies cooked was too good for em'.
Thanks for sharing homes like this that people like me never heard of. The history is much needed for knowledge today! Id love to know the names of the people who lived here and the slaves they had laboring for them 24 hours a day. Thats insane and to know that this still happening but just in a different form is even more insane..... I thank who ever made this and made time to share with us! Thank you! Ill be doing my research on this home now!!! History
Please! if it is not a bother. tell me why, is it so beautiful to keep watching this! I like to see money and time spend on something, that lift up, not tare down! We need to be motivated not depressed. Peeple wonder why we remain, and live our life in the past. We were and are being programed, that way. These type of films support this type of ideology! Thank you.
My husband and I (interracial) came here during our honeymoon in Savannah. It is truly a beautiful historical place, but you could definitely feel the animosity that existed here. It is a haunting place worth a visit.
I’ve toured this home and the quarters under the house: very surreal experience for me.
is there compensation for this??? what is the point? cuz they make it sound like tale when this was cruelty done as art-form.
Hard to believe that they actually lived. The stress & strain to make it each day.
It wasn't a job and they were NOT employers! Employers PAY people for their labor, not making someone work for free and treat them like they're lower than a dog!
Thank you for sharing this story. All men are created equal. Amen. 🙏 we all can move forward. God bless those who worked under such terrible circumstance.
Love the work you've put into it. People seem to forget...I never will. Thank you! ❤❤❤
Several years before this "Ask a Slave" here on CZcams discusses how difficult being a house slave was ....
This was educational and enlightening. Period.
We lived in Richmond Hill and always spent time downtown Sav. I remember walking by this house you can see the history in it sadly never went inbut this house always had my attention.
thank you so much for this.
711 A.D the moors already knew how to bath
Who cares, the Romans were bathing before the birth of Christ.
I hate how these history shows sugar coat what really went on. He should’ve said “if they didn’t prep the meals correctly they were beaten” that’s more realistic ! If ur gunna talk about history tell the harsh truths !
This video was very nice and its amazing to see the house being kept as it was but expanded for everyone to learn more. This should show were not covering anything. History has been excepted and. To be learned from. Not made to be the dark times over and over and overrrr.
The slaves were definitely survivors. It’s important to bring to life the whole story. Those slaves were responsible for the success of the slave master and family. Fascinating history
This house should be demolished along with all the other ones that are still up🔒💯
No, it would be terrible to destroy that part of history! They should get better more educated people to tell the truth about the history instead of making it seem nice.
🙅🏾♀️Our history is already omitted from any textbook in school.. if that happens we continue to jeopardize the minds of future generations to. "They" want us to forget. This reminds us all how far we came and need to go.
No! We don’t tear down Auschwitz for the same reason: those who don’t know their history, are doomed to repeat it.
Its partial truth but we don't go back far enough, that's the problem. If we did we would know who the true Israelites are. Home school unfortunately is not a option for every child/parent.
Thank you fod doing this. Its very needed today.
Very moving clip and very informative.
This is a horrific part of American history and to keep reminding People about it keeps the Hate and discrimination alive. Just my opinion.
It's called Psychological Warfare. They want to analyze Our reaction in the comments.
This is one of my family stories thank you for sharing.
Mine also
I was going watch but then got mad reading the comments lol
So true. I need another planet to live on
Very well done,🌹thank you.
absolutely fascinating history! Thank you
Dang the trolls jump on this quick!!!
Exactly 💯 They WERE PAYED😡
Especially that Laura s chick smh wtf....her ignorance is mind baffling
Why is this being romanticized ..... I just don't get it....
The upstairs rooms as beautiful as they are, really are not what makes a house work, it's the people who lived down stairs that made many of these houses prosper . Sad that they were treated as they were, but many still have a debt of gratitude to them for all they did.
The credit is given to the people that did none of the work.
Wow! There is a huge home in the town I live in. It still has a slave quarters house...not sure what you call it...but nobody would buy it because of that. The owners had to rent the home out. I believe people think it is haunted..lol
How can a fellow human be a slave, some people are just naturally rotten at heart, God will judge
I wish there had never been slavery in the united states. However I'm glad that our cultures are mixed and we are all equal Americans now. I cant even imagine a United States without people of all colors and cultures.
Not that part! Ha. But I can’t imagine a world/ US without people of color...
Nope; no we are not. Words on paper don't make it so. The word of the Most High treasured at heart is what will make it so. I believe we've seen whats in America's heart loud & clear these days. Same old hate.

Ackwardddddd.....there is NO equality. Sounds nice though..you saying that craziness shows that there really is a mass white confusion(cognitive dissonance)
We are NOT EQUAL!Do more research, RACISM STIll is GOING ON! Tulsa Oklahoma!
Those Americans are fun to watch... in Spain you go to any town and people are using houses from the 1600 or 1700 right now, and many keep the original structure. I was about to buy an old flat, the building was from 1820... It amazes me 1840 is history! Lol
I love history. The good the bad the ugly.I love these beautiful old homes in the South
Those beautiful old homes were slave labor camps.
Feel so sad for my slave fathers and mothers. They suffered terribly at the hands of their slavers.
I would of been spitting in their food on the daily 🥴🥴🥴🥴
ldyluv6988 I’m pretty sure it happened often 😉
You would spit in any ones food even your on kind
More than spit was put in their food, believe me!!
@@janet.oboutte1349 nope just your kind 😉
Remember the Octavia Spencer character in The Help and the chocolate pie she baked?! Loved that book and movie.
Thank you for the vid!
It seems that unveil the history of the coloured people in the USA is as difficult as unveil the story of Egipt. Everything is deep undet the ground and covered by dust. It is very touching to see how the history comes to light.
You mean Highly skilled volunteer work right🤔
These people WTH
People who were bought like meaningless merchandise and forced to work for people who did them so wrong.....and somebody had the nerve to comment “it was just a way of life back then.” i-
Awesome, Thank you!
