Plantagenhäuser, Louisiana
|
Plantation homes line the River Road Louisiana like pearls on a string. Pre-war American Southern history can be experienced here up close. Sugar cane and cotton were once grown here and slaves were kept here. Meanwhile, since the heyday of the plantationsmore than 150 years have passed in the south, but they are still among the most popular tourist attractions in the southern states. On the one hand, because their extensive Architecture is reminiscent of the castles of Europe, but on the other hand probably because the history of slavery is remembered in the United States and and wanted to never happen again. |
