Watered down version of history :(
美国橡树园农庄的点评
点评：Unfortunately a disappointing experience. The entire experience was a very watered down version of history that ultimately focused on money and the glorification of the original land owners. The grounds around the main house are beautiful, however the house tour focused on the lives of the rich white owners; not the story of the slaves, servants etc.
There’s a small hut off to one side, but again instead of talking about the slavery, the tragedies that unfolded, it was a film about sugar production, machinery and shipping. There’s a gift shop that basically sells branded merchandise, food and crocodile heads, again, nothing in relation to the plantation or its history.
We joined a talk at the end of the day which started to go into detail about the slavery and the overall history of the plantation which was good, so this really should’ve been the main theme of the experience.
Overall really disappointing as we all know that slavery existed and what went on, but it would’ve been good to learn a lot more about the lives and the stories of the slaves, as well as the ultimate ending to slavery and their freedom, instead of feeling like you’re in a commercial tourist trap that effectively white washes history.

翻译：遗憾的是，这是一次令人失望的经历。整个体验就像是被淡化了的历史版本，最终聚焦于金钱和对原土地所有者的颂扬。主屋周围的庭院很美，然而，房屋之旅的重点是富有的白人主人的生活，而不是奴隶、仆人等等的故事。
旁边有一间小屋，但它并没有讲述奴隶制和随之而来的悲剧，而是放映了一部关于糖生产、机械和航运的电影。还有一家礼品店，主要出售品牌商品、食品和鳄鱼头，同样，与种植园及其历史毫无关联。
我们在当天活动结束时参加了一场讲座，讲座开始详细探讨奴隶制和种植园的整体历史，这很好，所以这应该成为这次体验的主题。
总的来说，这真的很令人失望，因为我们都知道奴隶制的存在和发生的事情，但如果能更多地了解奴隶的生活和故事，以及奴隶制的最终结局和他们的自由，那就更好了，而不是感觉自己陷入了一个实际上粉饰历史的商业旅游陷阱。
