Charles City County, Virginia, USA. The kitchen rooms have large fireplaces and ovens, enough to prepare meals for the Hill family and guests. When the plantation began in 1632, workers were white indentured servants. Soon, Africans were brought to the plantation, also as indentured servants, as was done on many plantations. Soon again, this practice morphed into slavery for newly obtained Africans. By the 1780s, there were 193 slaves working on Shirley Plantation. It is sad that the beauty of this plantation was sustained on the backs of slaves.

A good layout from the looks of it. Enough to eat here for everyone.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Slavery is still a hot subject for sensitive discussions in my country as a lot Dutch ships have 'transfered' a lot of slaves from Africa to, what's now, the USA.
The history can't be denied and ignored. Therefore your image must have be viewed in the proper historical perspective.
Good one Thad, and thanks for such a well documented narrative again.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Ah Ha! You have taken the next step and presented a shot of your little feathery friend all ready to satisfy someone's hunger. Everything looks delicious! Excellent shot of the kitchen, Thad.

I watch a PBS show called "Taste of History" which showcases early American cuisine during the revolution and moving forward. These kitchens are an integral part of the show and the chef prepares the meal in a kitchen such as this - a wonderful capture Thad.

Good thing you got a shot of the chicken when you did, Thad.
I agree with your assessment of slavery.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Marvelous info and I also agree that it was a terrible time for the slaves now matter where they came from. Really interesting capture and looks like quite the layout of food, might be a little hard though, lol.

The food adds so much to the feeling of this shot. I love that oven and fireplace, Thad.
