[American version of "scum hole" dark and lifeless dungeon] The Old Exchange (Customs Building/Old Exchange) is our first stop in Charleston (Charleston, South Carolina), the building was completed in 1771, is the city's most important landmark, in the past 200 years, Has been playing different roles. Exchange functions include commercial trade, customs, post offices, town halls, military headquarters and museums. Between the war of independence and civil war, the exchange is also the place where slaves are auctioned openly. The first floor and the second floor are exhibitions of relevant history, and the staff of cosplay as officials answer questions for everyone. Figure 5 is captured. It happens that a staff member is wearing a costume to watch the introduction, which is particularly interesting. During the Civil War, the basement was used by British troops as a dungeon, known as Provost or "dungeon", where American war criminals, British soldiers, criminals, slaves, and the dark, disease-ridden, and very sad. To visit the dungeon, you need a tour guide to bring it. There are wax figures that reproduce historical scenes. It is a bit awkward. When I first entered, I felt quite novel. After a long time, I felt tight and particularly depressed. Want to understand South Card, or Southern history, the exchange is the best history classroom, cherish the hard peace, this is a eternal topic.
