Slave History of Charleston
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2008
- The old slave quarters of the Aiken family reveal many stories of slave life and culture in Charleston in the 19th century. Ironworking and the ability to cultivate rice are two of the many technical skills the slaves brought to the United States, contributing to Charleston's economic and rich cultural development.

talk about white washing slavery this is video is criminal
lol it's like an SNL skit where they're doing a Better Homes & Gardens slavery ad 🤦🏾♀️
The background music does not fit the topic
Disrespectful isn't it? They are romanticising.
Right? It sounds like a job training video
Why the hell does she smile when talking about slaves, man being from Charleston I hate seeing the slave market downtown.
burn it down or protest to get it taken down
@@kufarimahdi9636 I agree with you and Eric Givens. I'm a descendant of Sam and Annie Aiken; great-grandparents who were slaves on the Aiken Plantation. Let them tell it, 'slaves were never sold at the market downtown'
So, what happens when they tear it down? What happens when they tear all of the plantations, slave cabins, and this market down? And then they get rid of all of the confederate history. Being that we have an influx of immigrants, why not put up monuments to the Latinos and recent African immigrants who have contributed? Will you then forget about slavery? Is that what you wish for them to do? Forget about it?
I dont like this shit because I'm from Aiken and I know that my ancestors were born here! *WE NEVER CAME FROM AFRICA* This was always Gullah Geechee land and it was stolen! We taught them our ways and they snaked my people by becoming apart of *The United States Corporation* ( WHICH IS NOT A COUNTRY) and tearing up our land." *OBEY*
I lived in Charleston for a year. I lived on James Island two blocks from McLeod plantation.
I love history and historic towns with character, however I never got used to driving to Starbucks or Earth Fare, and seeing the the eerily well preserved slave quarters at the light before the draw bridge.
I guess its the same feeling some get when visiting places like Auschwitz.
This woman makes me sick to hear her speak of the Aiken family's pride of their treatment of their slaves. Oh they were nice giving colorful expensive paint to their cages and also a door to close their bedrooms for a little privacy. But what takes the cake is giving the slave freedom to walk the streets. Dogs tags to identify which slave owner each slave belonged to. I live in this "Historic" town of Charleston SC and I ask myself every day why all these tourists keep coming here to relive and celebrate the days of slavery. Let's not forget who and how the city was built. It was built on the "blood sweat and tears" of your truly,,,the slave
T Lace hit the nail on the head!
T Lace What makes me sick is the lack of involvement of Britain or Islam in the slave trade. Another thing is with one established religion already passed as law in 1993 and Islam gaining ground here where is the history of slavery in relation to "Established Religions. Hagel's Master-Slave Dialectic can work in many spheres starting with out minds.
thank you... I was wondering why I felt complete hate and disgust while watching this!!... you just validated my feeling!!... this woman is so ... either stupid... or incredibly narcissistic ... either way I cant stand to hear her at all. :-(
The colonizers stole this land and stole a races of people to build amerikkka and only one race benefits
As a descendant of great great grandparents who lived in Charleston,South Carolina as slaves it horrifies me to hear that woman talk about how well treated they were by the slave owners. We were for the most part left by those men a bit of ancestry that our ancestors had no choice in giving to us except through force. I have visited Charleston to see where my grandparents and my mother were born. I will go back to see family who still live down there. Unfortunately we have a remnant of the Middleton plantation as some of my distant cousins still have the name Middleton. My great grandmother was named Mary Alice Middleton.
I’m thankful that I am not the only one who feels weird and awkward every time she says something. They should pick someone else and talk about the true history and travesty of what happened on the plantation
THANK YOU , THIS WHY I CAN'T TRUST THE ENEMY SHE TALKING LIKE SHE TRYING TO SALE THE HOUSE
Did she say the slaves were brought here because of their "talents". The way she depicts this history of slavery is as if they had a choice! As if they were coming for a vacation or relocating for work! NO THEY WERE BEATEN, RAPED, TORTURED, FORCED, RIPPED FROM THEIR LAND! Just because they had paint on their walls did not make it any better!! If you are going to tell it, tell it like it was!! HARSH!!
Special by submission. Special by skin tone. Special because of what sex they were. Some not most. Its not like they had a choice on how they would be treated. It is what it was SLAVERY!
Daniel Adams Charleston started the bloodiest war in American history. South Carolina flew the rebel flag until the year 2000. Also the state continually ranks in the top 5 states for violent crimes and lowest in education.
+Bruce John Wayne And the lowest paying jobs!!! But high ass rent in deplorable neighborhoods!!
Julia Knight I know families in Charleston that owned the slaves. They are the same ones from the civil war. they still control business in the area. I landscape there homes. they pushed the slavery blame others. malls, movie , theatres, the big ice skating rink
And most races would not understand the rhetoric or history of it. Whether complaining or not. Just don't depict this part of history as some type of choice, simplicity, or pretty colors on the walls like she is doing and you for that matter. If you cant see if from another perspective then there is no need to comment or tell someone what they should get over. And I am not black, but I understand!
Still talking like we're not people
Yep.
I'm disgusted by the choice of music which makes this whole piece sound benign. As for the historian, it was pitiful to hear her hesitating when she was correcting herself from saying "slaves" to "enslaved" Africans. Highlighting their skills would be commendable if their intelligence wasn't still being omitted... and don't get me started about religion as a place where they could "truly be free" - how ignorant!!!
Makes slavery sound so genteel. Horrifying.
Black people can say we built charleston we own it! don't deny us!!
Exactly. They ain’t trying to hear that though. Give it back! Feeling like Denmark Vesey
This woman is totally clueless! New narrator, one who truely understands the history; there was no advantage to being a slave in Chareston or anywhere. Competion with the Irish? Come on!
this music and the light tone of her voice while talking about the slave "trade" is very ironic. Disturbing really.
I listened to 0:19 of this video knowing that the factual content was absent because look at the smile on the woman's face.
This is disgusting. Why is she trying to point out positive things about being kidnapped enslaved and brutally stripped of your humanity? Gross video. Shameful. And the music. Wtf
She talks about this horrific scenario for my ancestors so casual. Using words like wonderful, talents, etc. Disgusting
100% it's sickening
"When nearly all free blacks were destitute, [William] Ellison was wealthy and well-established. He owned a large plantation and more slaves than all but the richest white planters” (Johnson). When the Civil war broke out, 1,500 free black men then formed the first all-black company in the Civil War called the 1st Louisiana Native Guard CSA. “The Native Guard were French Speaking Creoles. Among those who joined the militia were successful architects, brick masons, dentists, doctors and carpenters” (blackpast.org). This confederate company also had the first black officer in the civil war.

i feel u!!
She didn't "white wash", she told the truth. There were a lot of positives to her story that I appreciate from her. She stated that Africans were brought her because of their skill, most of the slaves came from Sierra Lionell were they were well versed in rice cultivation and iron work, and that most of the iron work was done by slaves in the city of Charleston. That's much better than history trying to imply that we were only brought her because we were dark and couldn't fit in enough to run away, or that we had no skills when we came. We know that slaves were beat, forced to work, raped, stole, ect….however, let's move pasts that and learn of the positives that they did do ...even in their capitivity.
Whatever you gotta tell yourself to sleep at night boy
Brought against their will!!!!!! Treated like shit..less than human..
No wages!!! Beat!! Raped..men and women..
Separated and sold from their families!!!
Stop wirh the BS!!
"Just think, that this race of black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our art, sciences, and even the use of our speech!"
-Count Constantine De Volney in 1787
interesting
Do you know with 50 cent worth of gasoline and Ia match I could erase this horrible memory.....
WHY THE FLUCK AM I GETTING ALL THESE VIDEOS NOW CZcams??????????????
yes she said iy
I am sickened by this narrative! This woman suffers from generational cognitive dissonance!
I don't have an issue with her explaining, in a scientific logical sort of way, about the difference in building structures here and in other southern areas. But it got weird towards the end as she described it as more of a 'resticted movement' situation rather than slavery. The music and her soothing tone of voice is just creeping me out. Anything sounds great when said peacefully and with acoustic guitar! WTF
It is what it is.
Is this white woman really describing the slave quarters like they had a upscale suite? and that they were lucky to have paint?

thanks for sharing this with us..
The fact that she tried to say that some slaves were privileged because they had bigger slave quarters and doors and windows for ventilation, controlled access to the city ARE U SERIOUS..... THIS IS DISGUSTING
Brandie Williams I agree with you!!! We black women still going through shit!! Black women in 1750 equal Black women in 2016!! Same damn treatment!!!!!
If you ever get to visit Charleston. Make sure you get the history tour on the horse and buggy. Simply wonderful
Everyone talking crap I love her delivery she doesn’t depict the slaves as dumb Africans who couldn’t wipe their own Ess. So all y’all just shut up enjoy the vid
She act like she was advertising a slave resort!!!

GIRL BYE
Im tired of these white people tellin our history all the damn time. I want to see Videos of Africans telling these europeans history and see how they like it
@loveisrel If you actually knew anything about Charleston history you would realize how ignorant your statement just was. Do some research and educated yourself.
This is the first I have heard of the dog tags! Wow! Who is this white woman, and what makes her an expert?
ToniA5555 She's a representative of the Historic Charleston Foundation, and manager of the Aiken-Rhett House. She's also a published author. I thought her assessment seemed fair, while acknowledging that the people of Sierra-Leone were enslaved because of their skills: i.e. growing race and iron-work. Why mention her race? BTW, slave tags were also mentioned in "12 Years a Slave."
"her assessment seemed fair" I cant believe you just said that. You could tell she knew it was BS by how much she was stuttering
socialchronic Aren't you cute. Go play with the other Trolls.
Nothing wrong with slavery it will settle law when I might add a legal I let him go case closed
Oh Boy !!! Peace to everyone!! Please do your own research!! She is historically out of her Mind!! She probably hi !! Here’s a few fun facts 1) there wasn’t much African in the south during the Antebellum period 2) most slaves owner were Free Blacks 3) the first set of slaves were white Europeans 4) Black Indians were the majority of Slaves !! There was Black people was made up of Black Indigenous, Europeans , Nobles , Aristocratic, and Africans!!! Critical race theory is a must !!!!!!!!
Foh. Period
UMMMMMMMMM
It sickens me that white people say it was neat how my people lived when they were privlivedge to come go as they please today is harder for us to live together! Because Trump and any other races predtied
Every time this woman opens her mouth I am more scared for the white population. She sounds nervous and unsure of every sentence coming out of her mouth.
@wullymmammuth hahahahaha. Reparations are a joke.
lolol
One more thing I don't understand. Why the blacks aren't more mad! I would have been so mad I would have never graduated from Anger Management Class.
Ooooooh trust me Im angry brother angry as all hell
Because they have no balls and are comfortable with their positions as modern day servants.
Why is she trying to down play the truth. You know it's b.s. cause she keeps stuttering over herself. Smh
Talents like basketball, rapping, survival without getting a real job, silly hair styles, f
RangerDick81 you sound dumb asf go sit your ass in the corner. Scary ass bitch you wouldnt dare try that dumb shit now i guess thats why you here huh
