and so the whitney plantation is sort of situated in the midst of that, a historic and fundamentally reject the idea that we can understand slavery or understand a plantation and anything other than intergenerational kind of torture. and also that at the same time, while we are understanding the system as one of torture, we are also understand the people. it's fully human as fully embodied person. and part of what they do is make sure that you are confronting the names and the words and to whatever extent possible the faces of people who had been laid on and off and doing it through the perspective of women and children who in our public again our public consciousness to the extent that there is one about slavery in a very gendered one, that sort of renders slavery as a, as a very masculine product phenomena. and it's actually something that impacted women and children and really specific, insidious ways that the whitney has, has made a, made an effort to uplift. it's interesting that sherry has a question for you. i'm going to bring that question in in a moment, but the parts of the

yet when the plantation is a remarkable face, it is, as i say, one of the only plantations in the country that tell the story of slavery through the perspective of enslaved people. and in the thing, but that shouldn't be remarkable. but, but it is, it is a place that is surrounded by a constellation of plantations where people continue to whole wedding, where people, you know, i talked to waiting planners who talked about how sometimes people use the former slave cabin at these other plantations as bridal suite. so what does it mean that someone would want to celebrate the most joyous day of their life, arguably on the side of intergenerational torture? and so the whitney plantation is sort of 6 waiting in the midst of that, a historic and fundamentally reject the idea that we can understand slavery or understand a plantation and anything other than intergenerational kind of torture. and also that at the same time, while we are understanding the system as one of torture, we are also understand the people. it's fully human as fully embodied person. and part of what they do is make sure tha

the man that i mentioned, is, in fact, a driver on that navy sea captain's plantation. as a driver, he's got a position of authority over other slaves on behalf of the overseer and the planter. if he decides to turn on the overseer and the planter to organize a rebellion, that plantation might be quickly lost, right? and so there's got to be a kind of careful negotiation between the owner or the overseer and that person of authority who is enslaved, there's a -- you have to give special favors, right, an independent house. access to the implements and tools for hunting, right? knives and sometimes even guns. and so you're trusting that they're so keen to protect their access to those special favors, that they'll continue to remain aligned with you rather than the enslaved population. and this helps. you would like to keep that 90% of the enslaved polgs keep control of that so you can manage your situation. more directly, yes, they all -- a lot of them have cane knives and they don't collect all the cane knives at the end of the day. when they do, there are not many peopl

they did especially a lot of the labor on confiscated plantations. they were hospital attendants and children as well. basically when they were old enough to perform these kinds of jobs were. we're also very important. um some of the people in who are tuning in may have read or heard about susie king taylor she was a woman who was a fugitive. former enslaved person who worked as a cook as a nurse as a teacher a laundress for south carolina regimen if you read her her memoir, which she wrote after the civil war it's very striking that she's really making a case. for future generations to understand that women were important that they played important roles that they were brave that they were loyal that they basically put themselves put their bodies on the line. you know not an exact same way that meant it but in ways that were important for the war effort and many of them were punished. in fact for for taking the stands that they did. and then i would say the biggest distinction between women and men of course is the fact that men were allowed to enlis

among the signals that the revolt to succeeding is fire. so they set these plantations of light so that everybody who's been told. sorry everybody who has been told around the area that the revolt is going to happen knows when the fire goes up that now is the time and that's when they overwhelm the one person who might be guiding the cane knives or the weapons on that plantation and that's kind of how it works right by those signals and by the fact that if they have done their organizing work properly again identified friends from foes carefully over a long period of time when things go off things can happen quite quickly. i spend much more time going into the mechanics with their votes in the book, but that should give you a general sense of how it works. early on in your presentation you had a slide said 1661 to 1765 and the most frequent destinations and you talked about the various islands. how was it determined? you know you in some cases you had tens of thousands of people other cases you had hundreds of thousands of people's how was it determined that some went b

once they realize word has spread, once they come to plantations abandoned, they come together. they come together at the harris plantation and they are up to 40 slaves at this point and they are all excited about what is happening. as they make their way toward jerusalem, they're going to have, they're going to attack a schoolhouse, which is on levi waller's form, and they're going to kill women and children. the men on the farm escape. which of course, will be a big thing, as people look to tell the stories about the brutality. ultimately, they make battle. hey still from the movie -- a still from the movie, birth of a nation. the battle is a complete mess up. i want to close with this. i want to draw your attention to what happens when he is discovered and the underappreciated lines that happened in the confessions. to me gross starting to go hunting, the document to the place. turner had hidden in his hiding space. having gone to walk about, discover to me and sparked, on which thinking myself discovered, on making myself known they fled from me. what happens here? ver him. when he is finally cap cer

to his former in slaver about his response really to his enslavers request that he returned to the plantation that he left from and returned to work. and one of the things that jordan he basically very memorably challenges the former and slavery about the ways that he had treated him the violence that he had visited upon him and his family. and then he says basically in dayton, ohio where he is he's able to work and get paid every week that he's able to his wife is able to sort of be respected and called by her name as mrs. anderson and he calculates you know, how much money he would get in back pain if his former and slaver were to basically, you know, pay him the hourly ways that he gets now for the years of service that he had done without pay if he would compensate mandy for her labor as well. and then if we know subtract the amounts for any sort of care that was meted out for them while they were enslaved. he estimated that the amount owed to him about oh to them would be about 11,680 and that in 19th century, dallas, right? so a pretty significant amount he's like and if you're willing

the bank's own analysis. let's strike that. in addition i would say citizens bank and canal bank in louisiana both now a part of jp morgan served plantations from the 1830s until the american civil war. these banks sometimes took ownership of slaves when the plantation owners defaulted on loans. between 1831 and 1865, these two banks accepted approximately 13,000 slaves as collateral and ended up owning about 1,250 slaves. mr. diamond, there can be no -- there can be no redemption without recompense. mr. diamond, will you atone -- will your bank atone for the ownership of human beings? madam chair, i cannot hear mr. diamond. >> i cannot hear him either. would you try again, mr. diamond? >> you're muted, mr. diamond. >> mr. greene? >> yes, ma'am? >> we're going to try and work this out. staff, can you help me to find out what is happening? mr. diamond is indicating that he is not muted but we can't hear him. >> can you hear me now? >> i can hear you now. >> okay, i said that the company did research and found out the company had been bought many years earlier in fact did take slaves as collateral and ownership in some cases. we apologized p

so while george mason is running the politics running the business of the plantation mrs. mason is running the business of the household. that business of the household affected the way that guests received the house on the other side. so why didn't we step into the public spaces in the house? so we're stepping into the public side of the house right now. we're looking at the space that mrs. mason would have governed when she talked to visitors here at gunston hall. it would have been a space used by both the mason family members and this really illustrates where george mason was coming from. so the space is very highly decorative would have been where he interacted with people like thomas jefferson george washington when they came to visit here at gunston hall. so it's very much meant to show again george mason belongs in that strata of society. now the reason he was able to do that is because three generations back his great-grandfather immigrated from the united kingdom in staffordshire county here to virginia a little bit south of us on the northern neck. he came with e

no one would let you walk off the plantation and a lot of the stories are not just stories of escape, but also stories of violence, also stories of forest. people are stealing themselves away in really aggressive ways. and in order to have the conversation, it requires nuance. we are not comfortable talking about violence and people getting killed, but when we talk about self-defense, that's such a natural understanding for many of us. all of us believe in protection of our bodies and communities. this book will allow these conversations to happen and talk about the fact that so much of our history is not based on nonviolence. a lot of it is based upon force. we usually use violence to talk about a benchmark in history. think about the way classes are taught. we use violence to benchmark history. that's how we understand progress and a lot of ways. it was important for me to look at violence and give it an appropriate nuanced look that i think it deserves. >> aaa there is a certain investment in playing down the role of violence, because it's politically problematic in constructing a

the union army is near. so they flee their plantations and attach themselves to grant's army. and that is really how the dream of emancipation proclamation came true. and what was remarkable about them, until a day before, they were technically owned by jefferson davis at his briarfield plantation a few miles away. little by little they had been peeling off from the plantation. but this group was captured as they marched into the army, now technically free. not only were they legally free according to the proclamation, but they had freed themselves under it -- for their family's sake. and here you see them to the left of the figure on horseback as other soldiers look on. straggling into camp. by the way, i've always thought that the officer who sort of leaning on a tree on the right side is, i don't know, a little bit -- he looks a little too much like ulysses s. grant as he looked at his field cap. maybe it's too much of a coincidence. so maybe shell put that in as a little joke. an inside joke. but here they are. and when jefferson davis heard about this, he was furious. why

the real history is plantation slavery. it is important and men and cattle ranchers were important as well, and blacks did some of that too. cowboys were black. the real basis of the state was to create part of a kotten empire, and that is kind of forgotten. people have this idea that texas is the west. people may be confused about why these issues are pertinent and why it matters. this is part of a long history that has the racial hierarchy. that saw african-american people having a limited role. the fallout from that is present. susan: it resonated with me because of our year of covid. we think that our society is uniquely complicated today but it is hard to imagine this clashing cultures, power, how power could be deployed, all of this taking place when people had no understanding of our capacity to deal with even the greater powers in the world, bacteria and viruses. i was going to ask you to tell us more. >> we think of the simpler times, but they weren't. people could get a cut and it could turn septic and they could d

that often in order to flee you had to fight right that no one was going to let you walk off the plantation and that a lot of these stories and the underground railroad are not just stories of escape, but there are also stories of violence. they're all so stories of force. they're people who are stealing themselves away and really aggressive ways, and i think that in order to have conversation it requires nuance so we're not really comfortable always talking about violence and people getting killed. yeah, but when we're talking about self-defense self-defense is such a natural understanding for many of us all of us believe in our own protection of our bodies protection of our communities. so i think it's tough to talk about but what i hope my book will do was will allow conversations. it's really have these hard conversations and to really talk about the fact that so much of our history is actually not based on nonviolence or so much of the progress that we experience is not based on nonviolence. a lot of it is based on force and that we usually use violence to to talk about a benchmark in
