There's nothing KIND about a fucking enslaver! I don't care how differently he operated his plantation compared to the others! And the colonization of Liberia was HORRIBLE!
There’s no such thing as a good slave master, do you think in the after life god said since you freed them your death, than after working for free for your daughter until her death I will forgive you and let you into heaven. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He treated his slaves kind 🤷🏽♂️
But made them work for free and owed their children. But yeah he allowed them to get married 🤷🏽♂️. And In his (will) he wanted after his death than his daughters death sell the plantation and pay for the slaves to go back to Africa 🤷🏽♂️.
Wow. He really paid them back for their free labor for gods knows how long, 6/7 generations
Sick minded people
So many moving personal histories are out there that were lost to time. I am so grateful for the ones like this that are preserved for posterity.
He treated HIS slaves kind. That's when I stopped watching. Delete this shit
Thank you for this information…since we are only finding out about the different masters and the treatment of their slaves..
Im so glad that this man had good moral values to make his slaves learn to read and write..after all these slaves were people…Im sure he treated them well and hope they all had good living quarters…So they finally got to go back from where their own ancestors lived with education as a plus…you lifted my spirits that some masters were good…
Thank you for sharing thus story. My parents/grands/uncles/aunts taught us many of these events including Israel Hill in VA & NJ.
Liberia refused to accept returning slaves after a few years because the returning slaves began enslavement of the locals funny how he just glossed over that part
When american slaves found it liberia, they immediately began Enslaving the local population
Oh I get it …… He was a saint?
They still have slaves in liberia its been said some of our missing are being taken there till this day
Northerners were more racist than southerners slaves were deeply wooven into southern life u think a northern women would allow a black women to breast feed there children? Heck no,but southerners did plus in 1860 census I believe there were 1500 free blacks that owned slaves
Glad to find this video on Natchez MS. I just looked online to find information on the African and African American community of Osyka Mississippi and found nothing except there were plantations there. The history of the Jewish immigrants is well documented but there is zero on the Native American Choctaw and the African (enslaved then freed populations} African American populations.
I remembered meeting Ser Seshsh Ab-Heter – C.M. Boxley at a National Park Service underground Railroad conference in the early 2000's. I had received several emails from him on the Forks in the Road projects throughout the years. I am so glad to find these videos. Document! Document !Document the exitance of your family please.

And never seems to amaze me how folks were told they were free, but their only means of survival was to stay on the Plantation and share crop. However, when they shared craft, they were supposed to be able to receive seedling and materials. That would be charged to a bill. The share cropping was supposed to be split in had so that they could receive their portion and the owner will receive his once their portion was received. That rent etc would be taken out of that, however, because most of these people did not know how to read or write they were duped. And to paying for years and years of actually doing work and cultivating the land as these beastly, violent lion greedy oppressors would force the demand of free labor upon these people and also take every quarter they had, as these people were dwindling for their freedom
That was another very horrific and disgusting in order. That was very inhumane to me. Was that they forced an abundance of human cargo from a land that they knew nothing about at the hands of violence and brutal abuse. Meanwhile, they are captivated. And stored on a chip that was supposed to only hold a certain amount of cargo. They were packed like sardines they suffered at the end. You may smell bodily waste cramping conditions, hot soils, hunger thirst, and anything else you can think of that was oftentimes used to abuse and the escalate in the humanized these people before they had even reached. Their actual destination. Another thing that needs to be reflected on and highlighted on is the atrocity that these people suffered. And were subjected to I'm. The transit alone is the reason why they fortify am recaptive so many slaves, because if they have gotten 2000 slaves packed on the boat out of 2000 slaves, maybe just maybe 800 would survive. Meanwhile, the unalive slaves, along with feces. Urine vomit sometimes diseases that were brought by Europeans would inflict on these poor people. They would rather die than to be at the bottom of this boat. Women children and babies alike were forced. To be in these transit trades, they had shackles as small as Twitter's. The intensity of chattel slavery by all means is the worst p*** of slavery in the history of the world. That's why it's talked about relentlessly. There is no other form of slavery mentioned or highlighted as much as shadow slavery. Which is awful.
Like I have mentioned before. Like I have mentioned before there is some kind of a symbolic withholding the European whites an American whites I'm at the ends of Defending or trying to give endearment to slavery when it is told in a manner of good light or of things that normal slave masters didn't do that other slave masters did such as teaching his slaves how to read, teaching them skills, allowing them to marry, not forcing himself upon his sleeves, allowing them to have church free time of celebrate holidays never really separating them unless they have really really done some atrocities really not whipping his slaves at the sheer look at them but only when they have been subject to equipment and a lot of times when these stories are told in that fashion you will have people mostly European some people of color that will agree with oh he was a good master and he treated his slaves well, this is a misconception of slavery in all atrocities anything that the slaves were endured taught or were allowed to do was always in beneficiary of their master, if slaves were taught to read it was for his purpose of other things he had in mind if his slaves were allowed to marry it was for his purpose of breeding more children unwillingly forcing himself on his slaves women and young girls due to him being a married man is not to be commented or to be applauded these are things that should not have happened and the first place so called teaching the slaves different methods of farming or training them for some sort of artillery or plan or something that he had or wanted to be done is not factually true because slaves from Africa were solely selected due to their genuine mind of planting, mining, being goldsmiths and medalist, bricklayers and such these skills were already endured in these people before they had begotten on a ship and stolen and placed in bondage and sold if there was any training of any sort that had been forced upon them it was for the sole purpose of capitalism Carmel or for his own activities that would gain him an abundance of wealth, and also allow him to rent out his slaves what is particular talents that they have mastered in, there was no such thing as a good slave master, if he were a good enslaver he would never enslave however there are other stories that depict how some of slaves have told their stories about loving the light on Plantation and how they endured some of the best times of their life during their life on the plantation, well let me just explain to you what that means a person that is what a person that is forced into slavery upon birth and has been brought up on a plantation Only Knows Plantation life for he does not know freedom for he does not understand that his life is secluded by dictatorship under the nose of a white European he only knows that for Generations he has watched relatives work and do chores and are told what to do he is also watched and horror as abuse has been Afflicted on men women and children at the hands of their oppressor the life that he knows as a child or what he Fashions as fun because of the activities or however he places this somewhat fun factor or meaning on it is because he knows nothing else, just like Stockholm Syndrome people have learned to adapt to the system in which they are born in people learn to do as they are told and as long as they do these things with no reprimanding in hand they will be comfortable. children on the slave plantations at very young ages also had responsibilities whether newborn children were used as human ragdolls Karma or pets and puppets, or small children ranging from the ages of a year old to just about working age 8 were often forced to do small chores or CD chores in the big house or force to be a beckon call for the children who live in the house when I say CD chores I mean a child at the age of five would be a human fan or a human foot massage or a human act as a human dog or pet like as there's been two stories told about young children slaves being under the table and being fed scraps as if they were dogs young children were often beaten to death as well because they favored the master or because they cry too much or because the mistress thought it was her husband's child small children that were enslaved especially newborn babies were also subjected to cruel violent murders for no reason at all
How inspirational! I wonder if by chance they are referring to the Rawls family
What can one say? A kind slave master, secretly allowing slaves to read and ensuring their freedom after his death? But first making him wealthy.. order of the day. As a Liberian, a bitter sweet story. Liberia is still in turmoil today from civil crisis : natives revolted against the Americo-Lib 1980 … God bless Liberia 🇱🇷
Fascinating story
Slave owners met their judgment day trust me.
So they did learn skills doing slavery
and he was right, without slaves lots of plantations wouldn't have been.
Great story. My mother was born 90 miles from Prospect Hill, MS in 1925 on the Rose Down Plantation, in St. Francisville, LA.
