I love historical pieces, and this one took what could have been a good premise, and it went south in a hurry. Sorry guys. It was just too weird to follow, or enjoy past the first 20 minutes. The acting wasn't so bad, but the script suffered in the editing. The Civil War has so many interesting TRUE stories on both the Union, and Confederate battlefields. (With brother sometimes fighting brother, and whole families torn apart by the fight.) Also, although slavery was the big issue, the issue of "state's rights," and the Kansas-Nebraska Act tore the south in half. In Texas, many people such as Sam Houston preached against succession from the Union in the Texas Senate. His Governorship was stripped away from him, and he was branded a "Unionist" the rest of his life. Many counties voted against succession, but when the final vote was taken, then militias were raised to meet the call for war. Now there are many stories just right there that would be worth telling, instead of some weird voodoo tale that blames slavery on the south that had a good majority that were against slavery. Churches formed anti-slavery societies called TABOR. So let us try to do better stories worth telling, instead of a bunch of weird mess that stirs up a bunch of hatred, and misunderstanding of a great part of American history...
