Real American History
1 April 2016 | by jsrh-84154 – See all my reviews

This series is, by far, the most historically accurate depiction of this topic shown on prime time television--I'd dare to say--ever! What I appreciate most is that it explores the complexity of the institution of slavery, specifically encompassing the interpersonal relationship dynamics that existed between everyone involved in the atrocities of slavery in America--master/slave/overseer/mistress/slave hunter/advocates, the list goes on!

I recommend this show to EVERYONE! It angers, empowers, explains, and opens the doors to conversation about SOOOOO much. If you care anything about TRUE American History, watch this series...and READ! :)
