That's a refreshing idea on this subject. Too often people forget that what we currently accept as being obvious, in an ethical sense, only became the standard response after much thought, blood, and change. I loathe Hollywood's incessant anti-South position, but I equally loathe some of the sentiments of some southerners on this issue, too. People today have the benefit of hindsight, but also of not having their entire lives ripped up--something Hollywoodies should think about re: Southern society and individual lives and property, and Southerners should think about the slaves whose lives we all know about.

Exactly - *our* children's children will look back on us with scorn, asking "people were murdering babies to enable recreational sex and you did nothing?".
As for the movie, its premise is absurd. A confederacy would not have had the strength to fight the WWs or go to the moon.
Its likely just an excuse for the producer to bash Red Staters.
