History Time with Bucky! . The Angel Oak tree, much like, Charleston, has it's checkered and bitter history, so a (TW) if you don't want to read sad stories. The recorded history says it was on the land The Cussoe tribe used to inhabit. (Kusso and Natchez, who settled around the Edisto river--if anyone wants to Google) -- And a rep of Sir Anthony Ashley Cooper purchased the land from the Cussoe Indians in 1675. (This may be true, but I smell dirty politicians) 🏴☠️ 42 years later, the land became property of plantation owner Abraham Waight in 1717, (a seriously rich dude who owned multiple plantations) who eventually handed the property to Justus Angel, thus, the name of the tree was born. Angel Oak. (tw) Being on a plantation is cringe, the slaves who worked there considered the tree to be a bad omen, especially when vultures would sit atop the tallest branches to get their food. Multiple folks has sworn to see glowing apparitions around the tree, and angry, demon-like figures who protect it from harm. It's survived hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, land developers who wanted to put up condos, and the general cruelty of man for the past 500 years. (Some folks say the tree is protected because of the Indians and the loss of the folk who died there) This tall boi stands at 65 ft (19 meters) covers up to 17,000 square feet, and has about 40k visitors a year! Not bad for a tree! 🌳 Sadly, when we arrived, they were closing the park for the night, so we were very rushed and didn't get to embrace the beauty of this nature beast. (Although mom got weirdly sick while she was there, and suddenly was %100 better upon leaving 🤔) #angeloak #angeloaktree #nature #buckyincharlestonsc #charlestonsc #johnsisland #travelbuddy #roadtrip #wintersoldier #thewintersoldier #buckydoll #buckybarnes #jamesbarnes #iambuckydoll #bucky #mcu #marvelcinematicuniverse #steverogers #captainamerica #sebastianstan #sebstan (at Angel Oak Tree) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgKuw4OP_X-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
