点评:On our visit to Jacksonville we visited the Kingsley Plantation. It is part of the Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve which is a National Park Service site. Kingsley Plantation is about a 35 minute drive from Fort Caroline which is also part of Timucuan.
Kingsley Plantation is the former plantation of Zephaniah Kingsley who was a slave trader and planter who grew sea island cotton on the land. He had many enslaved persons on his plantation who did nearly all the labor to keep the plantation functioning and to make wealth for him. Even his wife, Anta, was one of enslaved people captured and brought over from Africa.
It was interesting to learn the history of the place and of Florida in the late 1700s and 1800s.
The planter's house was open to visit while we were there, but it is only open to go inside on certain weekends. There was a barn to visit as well as the kitchen house. Near the front of the property are the ruins of the quarters that were built for the enslaved people who lived and worked on the property. It was very sobering and somber to visit the ruins of the houses that were built for the people who were enslaved to work so hard on the land. I recommend a visit; it is informative and sobering.

金斯利种植园是 Zephaniah Kingsley 以前的种植园,他是一名奴隶贩子和种植园主,在土地上种植海岛棉。他的种植园里有很多奴隶,他们几乎承担了所有的劳动,以维持种植园的运转并为他创造财富。甚至他的妻子安塔也是从非洲捕获并带过来的奴隶之一。
了解这个地方和 18 世纪末和 19 世纪佛罗里达的历史很有趣。
我们在那里的时候,种植园主的房子是开放参观的,但只在某些周末开放。有一个谷仓和厨房可以参观。庄园前部附近是为在这片土地上生活和工作的奴隶建造的宿舍的废墟。参观为在这片土地上辛勤劳作的奴隶建造的房屋的废墟让人感到非常清醒和悲伤。我建议去参观;它既能让人了解知识,又能让人清醒。
