Whitney Plantation museum confronts painful history of slavery
The first museum in America dedicated entirely to slavery opened a few months ago in Wallace, Louisiana. Michelle Miller visits the museum and found a surprising history, not only about the plantation, but her own family.
Washitaw (Ouachita) Muurs(Moors) Louisiana Lands
WASHITAW (Ouachita)-MUURS(Moors) {BLACK NDNs}. The parish is named after the Ouachita Indians who held the area when it was first discovered and explored. There is disagreement as to the meaning of the word Ouachita. Its Choctaw meaning is Big Hunting Ground, but it also means, silver water. Years before the Louisiana Purchase the present site of Monroe was a more or less established point of contact on the banks of the Ouachita River for the fur traders and Indians of the region. It was a half-defined gateway into the land of adventure and mystery that lay beyond the great lone wilderness.
The Ouachita River was first explored by Hernando de Soto in 1542, and later by the French. In March and April 1700 Father of Louisiana, Jean Baptist LeMoyne, the Sieur de Bienville came on a fact finding tour for his brother Iberville. He visited a Ouachita Village where the present day town of Columbia is Located.
There were five huts and 70 men to record. A French trading post called: Prairie de Canots was established on the Washita, but there were no permanent settlements until after the close of the French and Indian War in 1763, when Louisiana was ceded to Spain. This was near where the present day Monroe is located/Prairie de Canots (Prairie of the Canoes) was named this probably because it was a landing place for the Indians of the region who came to trade with the hunters and trappers.
Spain sent Don Juan Filhiol as commandant of the post, and he built the Post of Ouachita around 1780 to protect the settlers against the Indians. He later renamed it to Fort Miro. This fort was on the site of the present Monroe. He was commandant until 1800.
Three centuries ago, French explorer Jean-Baptiste Bienville, traveling west from Natchez, met a Ouachita (Washita) Indian in present day Tensas Parish.
Bienville's traveling party included six Tensas Indians and 22 Canadians, including Louis Juchereau St. Denis, the founder of Natchitoches.
The Ouachita Indian agreed to guide Bienville on his journey west. At the time, rivers and streams were out of their banks. The water was still rising. From the Tensas villages to the Red River, the low land was submerged.
At times Bienville's men, departing on foot on March 22, 1700, climbed trees just to have a dry place to sit and rest. Despite the obstacles, they managed to walk and wade 10 to 12 miles before dark the first day.
Bienville wrote in his journal: I marched all day in an overflowed country, the water half-way up the leg, or to the knees. In the evening I arrived at the bank of a little river (Tensas) about seventy paces wide and very deep, four and a half leagues distant, to the west of the Tensas Indian villages. I found there some Ouachitas, with several pirogues partly loaded with salt. They were abandoning their village to go and live with the Tensas. They had come from their home by little rivers navigable only in high water.
On the 23rd, Bienville noted that the Tensas Indians deserted on account of bad roads (foot paths) and cold weather; they do not like walking naked through the water.
A short man, Bienville realized that a person of medium height is at great disadvantage in such countries. I see some of my men with the water only up to their waists, while I and others are nearly swimming, pushing our bundles before us on rafts, to keep them from getting wet.
5 CABINS, 70 MEN
On a due west route from Lake St. Joseph to the Ouachita Indian village along the river at present day Columbia in Caldwell Parish, Bienville's men killed three deer and 12 fat turkeys in the Boeuf River prairie of southern Franklin Parish.
Two days later, the party came to the village of the Ouachitas ... There are not more than five cabins there, and about seventy men.
Archaeologists Clarence Webb and Hiram F. Pete Gregory, a Ferriday native, have written in their book, The Caddo Indians of Louisiana, that the Ouachita Indians were residing on the river before 1690, most likely at Pargoud Landing at Monroe where archaeological excavations have produced early trade beads.
The authors also reported that the Ouachita merged with the Natchitoches Indians, both part of the Caddo tribal group, and that the Ouachita no longer had a distinct identity by the 1720s.
Burial sites of the Ouachita Indians were unique -- they buried their horses, too.

SUMMARY
=======
Slavery among Native Americans in the United States includes slavery by Native Americans as well as slavery of Native Americans roughly within the present-day United States. Tribal territories and the slave trade ranged over present-day borders. Some Native American tribes held war captives as slaves prior to and during European colonization, some Native Americans were captured and sold by others into slavery to Europeans, and a small number of tribes, in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, adopted the practice of holding slaves as chattel property and held increasing numbers of African-American slaves.
Pre-contact forms of slavery were generally distinct from the form of chattel slavery developed by Europeans in North America during the colonial period. European influence greatly changed slavery used by Native Americans. As they raided other tribes to capture slaves for sales to Europeans, they fell into destructive wars among themselves, and against Europeans.
Mississippi Mud, Master Beer Theatre, Episode 5.
Wikipedia on Mississippi Nearly 10,000 B.C. Native Americans or Paleo-Indians arrived in what today is referred to as the South.[14] Paleoindians in the South were hunter-gatherers who pursued the megafauna that became extinct following the end of the Pleistocene age. After thousands of years, the Paleoindians developed a rich and complex agricultural society. Archaeologists called these people the Mississippians of the Mississippian culture; they were Mound Builders, whose large earthworks related to political and religious rituals still stand throughout the Mississippi and Ohio valleys. Descendant Native American tribes include the Chickasaw and Choctaw. Other tribes who inhabited the territory of Mississippi (and whose names were honored in local towns) include the Natchez, the Yazoo and the Biloxi.
The first major European expedition into the territory that became Mississippi was that of Hernando de Soto, who passed through in 1540. The French, in April 1699, established the first European settlement at Fort Maurepas (also known as Old Biloxi), built at Ocean Springs and settled by Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville. In 1716, the French founded Natchez on the Mississippi River (as Fort Rosalie); it became the dominant town and trading post of the area. The French called the greater territory New Louisiana; the Spanish continued to claim the Gulf coast.
Through the next decades, the area was ruled by Spanish, British and French colonial governments. Under French and Spanish rule, there developed a class of free people of color (gens de couleur libres), mostly descendants of European men and enslaved women, and their multiracial children. In the early days the French and Spanish colonists were chiefly men. Even as more European women joined the settlements, there continued to be interracial unions. Often the European men would help their children get educated, and sometimes settled property on them, as well as freeing slave children and their mothers. The free people of color became educated and formed a third class between the Europeans and enslaved Africans in the French and Spanish settlements, although not so large a community as in New Orleans. After Great Britain's victory in the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War), the French surrendered the Mississippi area to them under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763).
After the American Revolution, this area became part of the new United States of America. The Mississippi Territory was organized on April 7, 1798, from territory ceded by Georgia and South Carolina. It was later twice expanded to include disputed territory claimed by both the United States and Spain. From 1800 to about 1830, the United States purchased some lands (Treaty of Doak's Stand) from Native American tribes for new settlements of European Americans, mostly from other Southern states.[15] Many slaveholders brought slaves with them or purchased them through the internal slave market, especially New Orleans. They transported hundreds of thousands of slaves to the Deep South, including Mississippi. This was a forced internal migration that broke up many slave families of the Upper South, where planters were selling excess slaves.
On December 10, 1817, Mississippi was the 20th state admitted to the Union. David Holmes became the first governor of the state.[16] Plantations were along the rivers, where waterfront gave them access to the major transportation routes. This is also where early towns developed, linked by the steamboats that carried commercial products and crops to markets.
When cotton was king during the 1850s, Mississippi plantation owners—especially those of the Delta and Black Belt regions—became wealthy due to the high fertility of the soil, the high price of cotton on the international market, and their assets in slaves. They used the profits to buy more cotton land and more slaves. The planters' dependence on hundreds of thousands of slaves for labor and the severe wealth imbalances among whites, played strong roles both in state politics and in planters' support for secession. By 1860, the enslaved population numbered 436,631 or 55% of the state's total of 791,305. There were fewer than 1000 free people of color.[17] The relatively low population of the state before the Civil War reflected the fact that land and villages were developed only along the riverfronts, which formed the main transportation corridors. Ninety percent of the Delta bottomlands were frontier and undeveloped.[18] The state needed many more settlers for development.

Races and Cultures in the Deep South of the United States: Educational Film
The Southern United States—commonly referred to as the American South, Dixie, or simply the South— is an area in the southeastern and south-central United States. More:
The region is known for its distinct culture and history, having developed its own customs, musical styles and varied cuisines that have helped distinguish it from the rest of the United States. The South has traditionally shown the strongest instances and rules favoring racism against Blacks and Hispanics.[2][3] The Southern ethnic heritage is diverse.[4] The central factor has been the consequence of plantation dependence on slave labor; the presence of a large proportion of African Americans in the population; and the Reconstruction Era after the Civil War.
Historically, the South relied heavily on agriculture, and was highly rural until after 1945. It has since become more industrialized and urban and has attracted national and international migrants. The American South is now among the fastest-growing areas in the United States. While there has been rapid economic growth, every Southern state with the exceptions of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida has a higher poverty rate than the American average.[5] Poverty is especially prevalent in rural areas.[citation needed] Sociological research indicates that Southern collective identity stems from political, demographic, and cultural distinctiveness. The region contains the Bible Belt, an area of high church attendance, especially Evangelical churches such as the Southern Baptist Convention. Studies have shown that Southerners are more conservative than non-Southerners in several areas, including religion, morality, international relations and race relations.[6][7] This is evident in both the region's religious attendance figures and in the support for the Republican Party in political elections since the 1960s.[6][7]
Overall, the South has had lower percentages of high school graduates, lower housing values, lower household incomes, and lower cost of living than the rest of the United States.[8] These factors, combined with the fact that Southerners have continued to maintain strong loyalty to family ties, has led some sociologists to label white Southerners a quasi-ethnic regional group.[9] In previous censuses, the largest ancestry group identified by Southerners was English or mostly English,[10][11][12] with 19,618,370 self-reporting English as an ancestry on the 1980 census, followed by 12,709,872 listing Irish and 11,054,127 Afro-American.[10][11][12] Almost a third of all Americans who claim English ancestry can be found in the American South, and over a quarter of all Southerners claim English descent as well.[13] The South also continues to have the highest percentage of African-Americans in the country.
Apart from its climate, the living experience in the South increasingly resembles the rest of the nation. The arrival of millions of Northerners (especially in the suburbs and coastal areas) and millions of Hispanics means the introduction of cultural values and social norms not rooted in Southern traditions. Observers conclude that collective identity and Southern distinctiveness are thus declining, particularly when defined against an earlier South that was somehow more authentic, real, more unified and distinct. The process has worked both ways, however, with aspects of Southern culture spreading throughout a greater portion of the rest of the United States in a process termed Southernization.

Sam Jones presents today's Natchez History Minute about Rufus F. Learned who was born in December, 1834 in Jackson, MS. Learned caught gold rush fever and went to California in 1850, pressed on to the gold fields of Australia and operated a schooner in the South China Seas. He returned to Natchez in 1856 and became one of the state's leading capitalists and financiers.
THE LITTLE MOMENTS - New Orleans Steamboat Ride on the Mississippi River | American Roadtrip 006
We loved seeing iconic American landmarks on our RV roadtrip, but what really made our trip was all of the little moments along the way, from crossing over the Mississippi River in Mississippi to sleeping in a Home Depot parking lot overlooking the New Orleans Superdome. New Orleans was a highlight of our time in Louisiana - we loved listening to jazz music and watching street performers, eating cajun food and beignets, and riding the Steamboat Natchez down the Mississippi River. It's been fun making these videos and remembering the big and the little experiences of our RV trip!

Inside Juvenile Detention
As recently as 2005, the state of Virginia had eight centers like Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Facility, housing more than 1,300 delinquent youth. But by 2017, after a series of reforms, that number had shrunk to one.
“It's not that you can't do good work here,” said Andy Block, who, since 2014, has served as the juvenile-justice department’s director. “But the place itself and the design and the size and the location are barriers to doing good work.” Block and others are working to close Bon Air and replace it with something that reflects the juvenile justice reforms that have taken hold in Virginia and across the country—a system that once focused on confinement is now dedicated to rehabilitation. In recent years, more than 70 percent of Virginia's juvenile inmates were rearrested within three years of their release.*
Read more on The Atlantic:
*This documentary originally stated that Virginia has one of the highest recidivism rates in the country. This characterization was based on incomplete data. The documentary also stated that the three-year rearrest rate for current Bon Air inmates would be 74 percent. This was the rate for former juvenile inmates in Virginia in 2014. We regret the errors.

Mississippi black farmer suggests future farmers attend agriculture school
Retired 89 yr. old Mississippi black farmer recommends that anyone who farms or has interest in it to attend agriculture school. Mr. Nathaniel McKnight who was born in Adams County, Oklahoma, has farmed since he was a child said that he attended University of Minnesota Agriculture School from 1949 - 1951 in St. Paul, Minnesota to improve his farming methods. There he learn about machine engineering, chemicals and genetics of plants and animals; and he explained how he applied his agriculture education to actual work on the farm. He indicated that he had farmed for Kaiser Enterprises.
Off camera, Mr.McKnight said that the name of the school had changed to Agriculture Institute.
This interview was conducted on June 28, 2012 at the residence of Mr. McKnight who lives in the historical slave trade market area that is called Ford in the Road in eastern part of Natchez, Mississippi. Forks of the Road was the largest slave trade market in the United States (New Orleans is 2nd largest). Location of that area is near St. Catherine & Franklin St. Also at Forks in the Road is a farmer market thru Alcorn University extension where local farmers sell their produce.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
The universe, as spoken through an old man who lived through horrifying times for blacks in Mississippi, actually met former slaves, and lived through the Civil Rights struggle, all the while reaching heights of consciousness ascribed to eastern sages. It’s indeed a true crossroads of history and spirituality. Yet old age and extreme illness, however, now signal the end of a long life.
