The Planter's Wife and Her Secret Slave Husband | 
(Louisiana, 1823)

Discover the most shocking forbidden love story from Louisiana in 1823: A wealthy white planter’s wife secretly marries her own enslaved Black man! In the heart of the antebellum South, where interracial relationships were strictly illegal and punishable by ruin or death, beautiful Creole woman Elise risks everything for her passionate love with Josiah – a dignified and strong enslaved house servant.
This isn’t just a secret affair. It’s a hidden marriage performed before God, a daring escape through swamps and smuggling ships, and an incredible journey to freedom in the North. A true story buried by history for centuries because it was too scandalous, too defiant against the slave system.
From stolen midnight meetings in the garden, a wedding in ruined chapel shadows, brutal punishments, to a breathless escape and surprising ending – all narrated in the gripping style of BBC historical documentaries.
