Reflection of the Plantation Tour and Slavery

I enjoyed visiting the Whitney Plantation and I decided to elaborate more on my feelings toward what was happening on plantations. Understanding the hurt and sorrow many slaves in the plantation endured makes my heart feel sad for all the men, women, and children slaves that had no say over what they did on the Whitney Plantation. It is saddening to hear about the pain slaves endured when living as a slave. It is hard to visualize slaves being punished by there owners. Slave quarters lining the yard paint the picture of how living with many people in a small area would look like. When visiting the former plantation owner's home, the ceiling in the upstairs entertainment area is painted by an Italian artist's artwork. I could have stood there and studied the art for hours. This is experience is one I will never forget.
