Antebellum Southern Plantation
Redcliffe Plantation (near Beech Island, SC) was built in the late 1850s, just prior to the War Between the States. Today, it is a State Park and features the home, ...
@TheLANDADDY No the common view of history is biased and one sided. A few
incidents have been taken to have been the whole of what went on on a daily
basis. No civilization is perfect. We shouldn't be showing any colonial
homes in New England by that logic. House slaves were common and abuses did
happen. We cannot hold the South or any civilization up to a Utopian
standard. Reality is what it is. Southerners have always been good people.
Don't let the media tell you history brother self educate.
@sffoodie1987 No it wasn't. That is a basic misunderstanding of the south.
We were rural and agrarian. The land was owned by Southerners 90% of which
owned no slaves. The war was a jurisdictional dispute. The North wanted to
take away our Sovereignty and used slavery as an excuse. The men going off
to war were fighting for their families and land in the face of an invading
force. Slavery had nothing to do with the actual war. Think what you will
but do you believe you have a right to your land?
@Luigi84289 No I definitely understand the Civil War. It was mostly one of
Northern Aggression, the South was hardly to blame. I am not holding the
south to any Utopian standard. If slaves were not abused, then this
conversation ends due to a misinterpretation on my part. It's just that
nobody tours the Concentration Camps in Germany as family getaways, and the
same thing was happening there, just with extreme violence. Nonetheless,
both Jews and slaves were captured and taken to these places.
@TheLANDADDY His master was hung by the state. If I only told Southerners
about crime statistics in Detroit and New York we would think those are the
most evil cities on the planet. Don't compare our plantations to
concentration camps. The slaves whom were shipped here by New Englanders
via triangle trade preferred their lifestyle here at the time over what
they had to deal with in Africa where they were enslaved. The White man
didn't go in and take other nationals that would have caused war.
@TheLANDADDY It is pointless to argue with someone who looks at a
plantation and equates it with all the negative things that went on. You
see them as evil when all they are are just big farms. You have been told
to view them a certain way. Lemme tell you somethin' not all masters
treated their slaves badly those were a small minority who were punished by
local laws when caught. the most famous picture of the slave with his back
scarred up is not an example of typical treatment.
@TheLANDADDY If we went by that standard then we couldn't showcase any
place anywhere. Weren't people abused pretty much everywhere at one time or
another? I mean, we'd have to write off the entire West because the US
gov't practiced genocide against the Plains Indians, for example. The
plantation survives today as a beautiful home and a peaceful, pleasant
place to spend an afternoon. It's a fine example of Southern architecture
and a connection to the past.
@Luigi84289 Did you not read my previous comment? IF SLAVES WERE NOT
ABUSED, THEN THIS CONVERSATION ENDS DUE TO A MISINTERPRETATION ON MY PART.
I have not been "told" to view them in a certain way, and I certainly am
open to change my viewpoint, as you have helped me do.
I live about two miles from Redcliff, my parents got married on the from
porch and even have family in the cemetery there, I wish you would have
gotten some pictures of the original entryway with the big live oaks. I
always thought the cactus was kind of out of place.
I suppose you're right in a sense, though I think that since plantations
were places of concentrated abuse, a level of respect to the slaves should
be maintained, regardless of race or "heritage" I realize my argument was
never formed well or strong...
@RedShirtArmy Sorry I seemingly mixed myself up somehow... Nonetheless, I
don't like the idea of showcasing a plantation as a state attraction.
Weren't slaves likely abused on that very land?
@jmelkis Yes, I've been in there and both are in perfect condition with
original artifacts. Unfortunately, the day I was there with my camera they
were closed. Only the grounds were open.
@highway99blues Yes, it's right on the Savannah River. There is a lot of
fishing around here. Lots of ponds. Plus Lake Thurmond is about 30 minutes
away and it's huge.
Ok, you gave me an appetizer. Now, where is the main course? That was just
cruel to show me around the grounds and not even give me a peek at the
inside.
@MrRebel1776 No, I don't. It used to be huge though. It's still pretty
large today but probably a tiny fraction of its former size. Just guessing
though.
