I went on a plantation tour in South Carolina. It was one of the plantations that grew rice, and at the time South Carolina was the global financial centre of the world.
They showed us around the plantation and to the kitchen out the back which was separate from the house, due to fire. There was a long winding path from the kitchen to the house.
They told us that the slave boys would have to walk the food from the kitchen to the house and to ensure they didn’t eat any of the slavers food they would whistle the entire way. Hence the term, whistle while you work.
It was all fuckin awful. I’m not against the shutters though.
