okay. and that was his office. so irish immigrant isn t taking care of this house by himself. no, nobody was taking care of any house this size in america by themselves. so obviously there were, if not slaves, there were definitely domestic workers who were they would have all been slaves. yeah. why yola is one of the most intact places of its kind in the south which includes all the original outbuildings, and there are two slave cabins. they were in such disrepair i had to make the decision do you keep it or do you erase history. and a lot of people said that i should just mow them over and plant bushes. but i thought it was the honorable thing to do to restore them because those are the hands that built this place. it s about 20 people living in each one. it s women and children.

it would appear that way. my friend has talked a great deal about how germany has wrestled to the ground the ghosts of its nazi past. we have failed to do that, particularly in the south with our confederate past. the time to do so is now. because people are afraid to dus cusit and if you talk about, you re a race baiter. unless you teach people history it talks about how elementary school children have to go visit the holocaust. should we do that where you have to go to a plantation, you have to visit slave cabins, you have to go to a cotton field to understand the history of this country? he said those who don t understand history are doomed to repeat it. there s no doubt we have to have this. ambassador. we ve got to learn the history, we got to teach the kids the history.
