Description
The History of the Kunuku Houses. After the slave abolition where free slaves were given a piece of land by their masters to build their home and grow some crops to live from. The homes were stationed right next to the homes of the plantation owners (the plantation house). That way, former slaves could still have easy access to the plantation where he or she would spend the day working on the plantation or in the household. You see, while the slaves were free they still had to work for the plantation owners to be able to support their family. With no education, no wealthy family connections, and only the knowledge of cultivating crops or tending the needs of their master, continuing the job they were doing at the time as slaves were the only option they had. So, they stayed and lived in their own homes while working for their former master.
