Confederate will imagine slavery as a modern-day institution in America, exploring an "alternative timeline" if the South successfully seceded from the Union.

The story, said HBO, will follow "a broad swath of characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone — freedom fighters, slave hunters, politicians, abolitionists, journalists, the executives of a slave-holding conglomerate and the families of people in their thrall.”


Daily Beast writer Ira Madison III called dangerous in a heated era of increased hate crimes. "This is white nonsense...we finally had an Oscars ceremony where a black film won Best Picture (Moonlight) without having slaves or servants in it," he wrote. "But I guess HBO’s eyes are still fixated on 12 Years a Slave."

I do hope we'll get to see plenty of whips and ropes being used, along with the the properly intended use of the taser.

How is this show much different than man in the high castle? Another alternate timeline TV series where the Germans and Japanese won WW2 and invaded the USA? I don't recall anyone protesting that show. Oh yeah-niggers. That's why.
