Does the movie show the thousands of blacks who were slave OWNERS?

If not, the movie is not accurate.

"Thousands"??

I highly doubt you can find credible documentation to support that.

Do we need to fight the Civil War on here every day?

My God, we have enough things to argue about. Do we need to nitpick slavery? How about this, we all agree slavery is bad. No matter who holds whom, no person should be held in bondage.

Yes the movie did show a character played by Alfie Woodward who was a former slave but who now owned slaves.

It was a good movie that covered many aspects of slavery. It wasn’t a pretty film like “Song of the South”.
