What Plantation Museum Tours Don’t Tell You, Part I: Antebellum Period

In this episode of “Blood and Oil,” we detail what the traditional plantation museum tour doesn’t tell you. The Louisiana sugar plantation before the Civil War wasn’t an agrarian daydream. It was an industrial nightmare.

Hosts Kenny & Lauren provide background on colonial and antebellum life in Louisiana, from the late 1600s to the 1840s. They are joined by friend and contributor Travers LaVille to read Solomon Northup’s Twelve Years a Slave and discuss the 1811 German Coast Uprising.
