- The Hermitage, Savannah, Georgia - Hundreds of enslaved people worked on the Hermitage Plantation near Savannah, Georgia, before the Civil War. They cultivated rice, raised livestock, made bricks, and operated a sawmill and foundry. After the war, depictions of the "old slave huts" and the now-freed people who lived in them appealed to tourists seeking the last vestiges of the "Old South" and intent on romanticizing times of enslavement.
