🎥 About This Episode – The Plantation Owner and His Cook Slave

In 1854, deep in the heart of the American South, a wealthy plantation owner made a bet that would shame history itself.

He wagered that he could marry his heavyset cook slave, parading it as a mockery of affection — but what began as a cruel joke became a nightmare of humiliation, violence, and twisted obsession.

Witnesses claimed the wedding was held in front of the entire plantation, with the enslaved woman forced to play the part of a bride. But as time passed, the owner’s cruelty grew darker — and by the end of the year, both the bride and the bet vanished.

What really happened on that plantation? Was it revenge, murder, or something even more unthinkable?
