It's kinda between the two the whole time he finally yeet the prosecutor for good at chap 55

Slay

Basically, the whole story follows a "white savior complex" narrative, where the white man is shown to be "kind" and "respectful" to Black Americans (who were directly affected by white people) and portrays them in an innocent light that doesn't bring justice to the thousands of Black Americans who were affected by the racism White people had toward them. Its kinda like romanticizing a narrative where a Nazi soldier "helps" a Jewish person out during the Holocaust, putting them in a spot that glorifies Nazis' kindness instead of addressing the issue they created. This was also used in much propaganda after the war to lessen the blame on them as a whole.

Hii idk how much you know about the Civil War but it was basically two parts of America split on the decision of slavery and whether to condone it or not. The two sides were the union (anti- slavery) and the confederacy (pro-slavery). The racist thing about this story is that it paints the Mc as a selfless savior who frees the slaves on the land despite being him being white, as if that's not the absolute bare minimum. Also, the last panel where the ml says "your humble slave, master" paints the enslavement of native american and african americans as something sexual and as a "fun power imbalance trope". If u need to know more lmk

To put it simply, using another group history to tell someone else’s love story is not a good plot.

The Civil War in America was about freeing indigenous and Black slaves, yet here we have the author centering their story around a white person.

Yes, some white people helped during the civil war (Albeit they weren’t completely innocent, many were still wealthy profiting off of slave labour through indirect means while many also wanted to “save” slaves to have them work for them instead). The mc specifically stated that he was only in the war because his family fought in it. Then after he lost everything THEN they freed their slaves and gave them “generosity”.

This is the whole framework is for a typical white saviour character, where the white man is made to look good by helping the most oppressed through doing the bare minimum.

The main issue is that this setting shouldn’t be used to make a romance story, especially one with a white character as they’re not the focus of this history nor were they the victims. It doesn’t help that the half indigenous man still calls himself a slave and that his family still owned slaves.

It feels disrespectful and out of touch, because the author is treating racism, slavery and the Civil War as a background when it was apart of people’s daily lives where they had to suffer abuse everyday, but were supposed to feel for the white man who lost everything? Slaves had nothing and still lost more than what he had, I’m not going to say the type of things slaves had to do to survive and keep themselves sane but this is just blatant and disgusting use of traumatic history to make a slave master love story that likely won’t address any of the issues present.

The best comparaison I’ve seen so far is making a smut bl about a n-zi and Jewish during the ww2, it’s also AGAIN showing how « .great » white peoples were « defending » and going to wars to give BACK the rights of African people after they were enslaved and probably picturing a racism fetish

Kinda complicated for starter turns the history is kinda wrong. The Union is not what it seem apparently and also the mix Native American was ok to be a slave when in reality they don't want that and they're so are settlements that have mix Native people so I don't know what the reason he stay in ranch

I get it the author will reveal that, but they already in dangerous controversial trope called "The White Savior trope" which is complicated trope that dislike by the Majority. Also I think this a also mix trope called "Magical Minority Trope" that mix bag in majority too

Making the mc be a white saviour and the ml be his slave is so disgusting beyond words. I mean the author is really downplaying slavery by making it seem that he could just throw cash at people who suffered so greatly and saying to them to just go home. They were kidnapped from their home all the way to america were separated from their family , does the author think going back was easy as long as they had a wad of cash ? What a delusional dumbass. And not even bothering to draw their expressions specially the man he talked to before the ml appeared is just horrible. Black people were tortured, made to be objects, stripped from their humanity by their oppressors and this bitch decided to use their history for a porn manga. Just search the history of american slaves, they suffered for hundreds of years.

Ok yeah ew
