Never forget our Ancestors! 💜
God is good and we all are his children and not a one is more important amen
This was very hard to listen to and watch. My heart is still full for everyone who Suffered in slavery.
Here is something most do not know,,, The French Descendants along the Mississippi and Alabama Coastline DID NOT COME FROM CANADA,,,, They came directly from France as well as the Spanish and Italians also came from their Countries …. Even though the French names in Louisiana and Mississippi are the same most are not related, some are related…
Some lady with the last name destrehan is currently running for office in the city of Destrehan.
It sad how the slaves went through so much
😥😥😥❤️🙏
I been binge watching all your videos I love your videos! Thank you so much
Any videos on enslaved white ppl?
I enjoyed your tour very much. Just a quick correction on the Acadians though.. they were expelled from NB/NS because they refused to swear allegiance to the British Crown.. not because of religion. They had been told earlier that they could keep their language & religion if they'd swear allegiance & they still chose not to.
I am in NB.. grew up surrounded by Acadian history.
In comparison to others engaged in this inhumane system, I have to give it to the slave owners of the USA_ they KEPT RECORDS! There are millions in English colonies who have absolutely no access to this kind of information either because they do not exist or because some persons are out to gain financially from the information. I know for a fact that not even recent census records (1800s to date) are available to citizens of now independent colonies!
The big house was where it was at back in the day.
Why they still have those slave homes standing
I cannot deal !
Sugar plantations were brutal places for enslaved people,not an easy climate for anyone. They made huge money from sugar and the work force was replaceable.
Money is still being made off of slavery now give the reparations to decent of slaves.
I went to college in New Orleans and have always thought of it as my second home. I wondered the history of sausage there, I never would have associated the German influence! Though the sausage culture where I live here in Missouri is huge thx to all the German immigrants. Go figure all these years later I discover my grandparents were from Old Mines Missouri so about 1/4 of my family tree is nothing but French Canadian names going back 300 years in “America” AND New Orleans. My grandmothers generation (like…WWII generation) was the first to learn English believe it or not. their creole dialect is called “Paw-Paw” French. also discovered I had a great grandparent on the expedition with d’Iberville and was a founder of New Orleans. It’s all felt pretty full circle.
If you study from the beginning of time they have been many people of different race being enslaved.
I remember taking tours of plantations around Louisiana when i was elementary its crazy the emotion's you go through visiting those places i remember getting home and telling my mom i think i heard the ancestors voices in the wind flowing through the bayou oaks she smiled the biggest smile ive ever seen
I don’t know if he. Was fair back then I believe he was faker they thought it was last for ever
I visited there in 2016 very eerie
I went to the website but do not see Diane's schedule is there a way to find out what days she's conducting her tours? Thanks
White women, it's ok to not comment on Black women's hair and crowns. This was a really good video except for the cringy comment re: "…so you have this outfit on. Now you probably don't wear this everyday…isn't it hot though…"
A first class tour guide who was clear and informative a great video
