I did not watch this, because it seems trivial. It’s not a major turning point in behavior or law or control.

However, it’s good to see HC achieve this level of success. It goes to show how much we are interested in the truth. I don’t detect bias on the HC, perhaps I’m naive, but I just don’t see it.

It did shape law.

One deviation from history that was part artistic license and I suspect part bias was the first killing. From what I've read Asa McCoy wasn't killed at a still. The history I read was that he was hiding in a cave and Vance followed the slave who was feeding McCoy.

It brings up one of those historical stumbles that history doesn't like. Asa McCoy fought on the union side in the civil war yet still owned a slave.
