How most Slaves actually lived

[Robertinfremont]

I assure you if you go visit Mt. Vernon or Monticello, you can see real slave quarters and once you do, you will know Slaves lived much better than what is presented today.

There is in North Carolina a Mansion of 10,000 sq ft that exemplifies what slaves lived like. It was normal. Masters would not want crude shacks on their property.

Today would you want crude shacks on your property?

Slave quarters described.

The Slave Quarters
Picture



Restoration of the entire building was completed in 2014.
On the northeast corner of the lot stands the original two-story brick slave quarters. The neatly but plainly finished brick building typifies urban slave quarters in the late antebellum South—one room deep and three rooms wide, with stepped parapets rising above the roof and a windowless back wall along the property line. While now rare, this type of slave quarters could once be found in any city where slavery was legal—from New York to New Orleans—and stands in stark contrast to the small, crude slave huts associated with plantations and rural areas.

James F. Post designed both the exteriors of the slave quarters and the carriage house to complement the main house. From the lime washed brick walls to the matching window styles, the three buildings share many aesthetic features. The slave quarters building includes four sleeping chambers, a laundry room, and two five-seat privies.
​
Today, visitors can tour through both levels of the original slave quarters—one of the best-preserved examples in the country. One sleeping chamber, the laundry room and privies can all be toured without climbing stairs. Three sleeping chambers are located on the second floor and require climbing one fairly steep set of stairs to access. The building is not air-conditioned.

Better to live in a shack as a free man than in a palace as a slave.

Memo to follow libtards here: this is a waste of your time. Look up “sea lioning” and move along.

Just a friendly tip.

This^, thanks.

Livestock is a big investment. It makes sense to take proper care of it. Warm. Dry. Clean.

Damn this tack annoys me.

Oh well on that case it's fine.....



Has anyone else noticed that it's never liberals starting these threads? Strange since they love slavery and hate black people.

It was normal. Masters would not want crude shacks on their property.

“Visitors to southern plantations described ,huts, hovels, and houses, with an
occasional narrative romanticizing them as cottages....slave quarters at Gowrie
measured 18 by 18 feet and were built side by side, with a fire place in the
centre that served both quarters. Each side was occupied by at least four
people.” (7)
An ex- slave described the lack of furniture in his home: “Us never had a chair
in the house. My Pa made benches for us to site by the fire on...We had a large
plank table that Pa made. Never had no mirrors. Went to spring to see ourselves
on a Sunday morning. Never had no such things as dressers in them days. All us
had was a table, benches, and beds. And my Pa made them


----


Most slave children were exposed to many traumas, by the very nature of their
enslavement. Poor diet, living conditions and lack of medical care led to a high
rate of infant/child mortality. Kiple (13) states that the death rate for white
children at this time was approximately 12.9 whilst that for black children was
double that at 26.3. If prenatal mortality is included in this figure no doubt the
picture would be much worse

That's true! It is estimated that 100,000 slaves escaped to the North through the Underground Railroad. Everyone of them was asked why they wanted to escape. Everyone answered "We were being treated too good!"

Bellamy mansion gives a view of a more urban slave life as opposed to the much more plentiful rural slave life, and thus, more of an exception than the rule. Urban slaves were often skilled workers. One of the more interesting aspects of urban slavery to me is that it was much more public than rural slavery. So how an owner treated slaves was much more public than in the rural areas that were remote and hidden. One shutters to think of the kinds of depravities that took place in the most remote places.

Its boggles the mind that someone would try and pass this off as a typical slave quarters.

Oh look, the Confederate fanboy is trying to pretend slavery wasn’t so bad.

And conservatives wonder why minorities largely won’t vote for them.

Photography was in its infancy and photo-journalism did not exist as we know it. They did not have TV either.

If you think that brick two story is lousy, you need to be reminded that the Democrats tossed up shacks called housing for blacks to live in and kept them there.

Yet we find millions of Civil war photos easy to find. Why would you expect them to have TV?

Yes, the civil war was the first large and prolonged conflict recorded by photography. "During the war, dozens of photographers, both as private individuals and as employees of the Confederate and Union Governments, photographed civilians and civilian activities; military personnel, equipment, and activities; and the locations and aftermaths of battles. Because wet-plate collodion negatives required from 5 to 20 seconds exposure, there are no action photographs of the war.The name Mathew B. Brady is almost a synonym for Civil War photography."

There was a demand for these expensive pictures, much more than the conditions of slaves.
