Don't expect to hear on this program, that only 5 percent of the soldiers of the Confederacy owned slaves, and they didn't leave home to die for the protection of someone else right to own slaves, but to fight against what they viewed as an invading army.
Don't expect to hear that the first state to legalize slavery was not in the South.
Don't expect to hear that the slaves ships were built and outfitted in New York.
And don't expect the show to mention Lincoln did not free all the slaves. That the slave States who agreed not to join the confederacy were alooud to keep their slaves.
Regardless of the absurd notion of the South conquering the whole of America in 1865, the flawed movie premise is that, even now, chattel slavery would be on-going. Once again the liberal interpretation of slavery as race-hatred rather than an immoral 19th century agrarian practice. It would have become as unworkable an agricultural or industrial institution by now as is the horse-drawn plow and the steam engine!
I can believe that. I can't agree with the broad general demonizing of Southerners. But those poor guys doing the fighting were not the ones who caused the problem in the first place. The real villains tended to be concentrated in Richmond and wherever there could be money to be made by exploiting less fortunate fellow Southerners, both white and black.
