The Forbidden Slave Diary That Revealed What Happened After Families Were Sold | Full Documentary !

A leather‑bound journal hidden in a Louisiana tool chest for decades. Nearly 40 years of entries written in secret by enslaved people. A record of every mother, father, and child sold away from Ridgefield Plantation—and what became of them. In this episode of Liturgy of Fear, we dive into the chilling story of the Ridgefield diary: a forbidden document that followed 173 enslaved people across states, auctions, and graveyards. From the morning seven families were chained to a wagon and sold south, to the quiet courage of Elias, Benjamin, and Iris who risked everything to write it all down, this is slavery seen from the inside—not through the planter’s ledgers, but through the eyes of the enslaved themselves. We explore: How a secret information network of free Black travelers and hidden allies tracked families sold into the domestic slave trade The brutal reality of life on Louisiana plantations and coastal rice fields How the diary survived the Civil War, a burned‑out plantation, and decades in a forgotten archive What this one document reveals about resistance, memory, and the fight against erasure If you care about hidden history, Black history, and the stories the record keepers tried to destroy, this is a journey you won’t forget.
