![]() ![]() ![]() There’s so much evil ass energy coming off these pictures especially the ones of the house my heart hurts White people got me fucked thinking I can “get over it” This really fuckin happened, don’t let white people tell you that it’s in the past & to let it go. Regardless, this used to be where house slaves slept. This is why the house has been updated since slavery times because it was occupied up until 1972. This is her original bedroom, her lipstick is STILL on the dresser. Note: The last time the home was OWNED by a Louisiana citizen was 1972. The landscape of Slavery throughout the United States in 1860. After I saw the punishment equipment, I left. I’m not sure if there are other names inside other shacks because I could only handle 2. Their names are written inside one of the shacks. *sigh* Names of the enslaved that occupied the shacks. This is how they looked over the slaves while they worked in the yard. The view from the balcony in the main hallway. That’s the fan that a slave as young as 3 years old had to operate manually with a string. That piece hanging above the table is ORIGINAL to the house. SOME of the enslaved names, ages, race and purchase price. Just thinking about my ancestors tending to all this land… Those spirits were so alive, you could feel their presence, their pain and someday, their revenge. I do not want to hear shit about “Why can only Black people say this or that?” I don’t want to hear shit about “we’re all human.”Īnd by the way, not one of those slaves are at rest. This cycle continues with prison and brutality. They owned my PEOPLE and used them as checks and balances. There is no such thing as a good slave owner. We were labeled as equipment and nothing more. My people were human credit cards and lines of credit to BANKS. You could get HALF of your property’s value depending on how many healthy and able slaves you owned. Here’s what shook me even further: Before the Civil War, a lot of slave owners were going in debt and could not afford their properties and were not producing enough cotton and sugar to maintain their lifestyles. Speaking of children, a child stood in the living room and operated the fan with a string while guests ate dinner. A lot of kids lost their lives creating sugar. A lot of slaves were decapitated, amputees and killed from the fields and machinery. This was a sugar cane plantation, one the worst practices to involve slaves because of its danger. Children were restrained by ankle locks that connected between their ankles. Imagine three 4lb balls around your neck with bells inside. On this particular plantation, the owner was big on punishment…he used noise making neck restraints. Not allowed to live with them but could be dead with them.īefore you enter the house, there’s a list of slaves who lived here including their age and how much they were purchased for. The majority of the slaves are buried under the Levees and water. Over 120,000 bricks on 2,000+ acres of land (this place was huge.) The clay used for the bricks came from the Mississippi River. The owner of this particular plantation had it built by slaves for 3 years. I honestly thought I knew everything about slavery. I just left a plantation tour in Louisiana. ![]()
