So historically inaccurate it sickens me. Slavery technically ended in 1865. Yet devices and procedures from the future appear. The straightening comb came decades later. The first modern female sterilization procedure was performed in 1880.There was no penny candy until 1896 Tootsie Roll.The Home Insurance Building,1885 first modern skyscraper. The first typewriter was in 1868. I don’t mind flights of fancy or dreams but do not present it as historical drama! If the goal was to make a movie about post- slavery times, do that. This mish-mash of misinformation is misleading.

In the first 22 minutes there are two deaths and a mutilation.
