To add more this, you cant just "free" slaves and give them money and say go back to ur families. THATS NOT HOW IT WENT, they wouldve been re captured, beaten/tortured/mutilated/imprisoned and sold off. This is the reasoning why I said its a savior complex
Not to mention that like it’s so fucking stupid to just say “go back to your families” like where bro? Thats not it worked. It’s so fucking stupid just so Jaxx can prove he’s not a racist white dude while giving the black characters no faces or defining traits so they could get off the screen as fast as possible.
I didnt want to write more about it but ur exactly right jaxx not realizing their family members were most likely killed or sold off like what wtf are we doing here
Writing about confederacy, slavery, the civil war, etc. is definitely a choice and wow cant even give the black people proper faces. This is definitely a timeline that shouldn't have been picked if you dont know how it actually went. Its giving this savior complex and its weird
