Looks like it's not afraid to address the morality of fighting for slavery / state's rights issue. Which I think is good, I feel that a lot of Civil War movies just ignore that issue.

Looks like they're going to have some modern language and sensibility in it.

I hate that. Just tell the story...people were different back then and lived in a different society.

We don't need to sugarcoat things.

The North would have conceded slavery in a heartbeat if the South agreed to the other issues they were upset about. Its something I've always hated about Civil War movies.....they all make it look like the War was only about Slavery and the good guys of the north vs the bad guys of the south. Obviously Slavery is horrible, but a lot of the other issues the South had with being in the union were fair points. I would like to see more civil war stuff with that perspective.
