To get a glimpse into the house where they were enslaved....

And see the land they were forced to roam.

It's eerie as fuck.
Why do I feel like I'm standing in that diningroom :uhh:
This is lowkey depressing, but such a needed reminder.
I have the address now, and the house is open, I may pay a visit.
and why is that pic on the wall making me so fucking angry :plzstop:
i cannot stop staring at this picture :uhh: :uhh:
This is too edgy. I'm sure I'd want to see the inside of the house and stuff because I'm sure my ancestors were kept inside. This is so sad.
this is crazy to see. and weird to see HQ pics of it omg
but ;nnnnbv not the pic giving
:tistheseas:
this is the EXACT house were your ancestors were lashed?
this is crazy... the fact that your family kept track of all this stuff...
I have to do more research into my great great great grandmother because although I know for a fact this plantation is associated with the last name.....
She gives me more of a "freed negro" in her portrait. She doesn't look like she was enslaved. But she was a product of slave master rape from what my grandmother told me. But then again, my grandmother admits to me that her knowledge of that side is fuzzy; maybe her details aren't as accurate as she thinks. If she was freed, which she appears to be, there's a greater chance that her conception may have been consensual.
My family in general worked that plantation, but now comes the question of was it one of my DIRECT ancestors working it? Or was it simply relatives. Either way, I plan on visiting the plantation.

Yes.
This is the DeBerry house....which is now on sale.
https://www.presnc.org/properties/edmund-deberry-house/
Edmund DeBerry was a congressman. My family took his name.
And I agree Jacob, I was also surprised this morning at how meticulous their records are.
that's why I was very excited...this is all so intriguing. And to have so much at your fingertips....
it definitely reminds you that this shit was REAL. read about it, now see where it went down for YOUR kin folk.

its officially historical....given his status.

that's what draws me to it. i really get a feel of what it was like. its creepy as fuck.

Slave houses are perched all over the south.
In my hometown people give tours and such of the Slave houses and the Antebellum mess.

Not hiring white help and making them PAY
yes King
Im scared because I am so light, that my.family owned slaves
:stressed:
Many black people are inherently descendants of slave masters.
That's where the European DNA in our bodies come from.
Most of us have 18-20% Euro DNA.
I actually have less than usual, at 15%. But that's because my Native DNA took the remaining non-African space.
If you're black, it's very likely your heritage includes a mixture of slavery (Africans are not natives, we were dragged here from OUR native land, and it wasn't to have tea and crumpets).
It's only white people who should be truly concerned about being embarrassed of their family history in the states. That's where a lot of white guilt comes from.
Not all sexual action between whites and blacks was forced, though.
Many actually loved their black counterparts, but was afraid of backlash from proclaiming it. Back then, it was much more than a racist Instagram lashing that you risked by going public with your Oreo luv.
During this entire journey of genealogy, I totally ignored my European side.
Why should I be proud of some slave master blood? :uhh: That's all the fuck I see it as.
But the more I learn about this (I watched a couple documentaries last night), the more willing I am to accept this part of my family history.
Looking at picture of my great great great grandmother
She seemed like a rather esteemed FREE person of color.
Much like those pictured here.

So maybe she was indeed a product of rape, like my grandmother said...
But somewhere along the line , someone did right by my family.
I feel so much more comfortable accepting my French heritage now.
By doing so, I accept her.

White people are demons.
am sorry looking at history how devilish can a single race be. :loose2when: From Australia to South America, Asia, Africa and North America, all they did was cause havoc, rape, abuse, destroy... So greedy and evil.
I dont even wanna know
Because I would march in there and demand a fucking check that is owed to my family
