"Men of Color"? Really?
When I heard the female protagonist utter this ridiculous twenty-first century liberal term, I nearly turned the show off. This would not have been a term that was readily used in the period. Why does everything have to be completely ruined by modern-day nonsense liberalism? I guess the show will offer up none of the real raw images of war and diction that was used in the United States at the time. I guess this is just going to be some liberal fantasy of feminist power during the Civil War where everyone uses 21st century liberal racial and feminist terms? I hope this show doesn't completely take that tack throughout. Sadly, I know it will. Historical Civil War narrative tells us that even the most feminist of characters would have been miles behind any modern-day notion of today's radical feminism. Even in the North. Historical documentation tells us that blacks were somewhat better treated in the North, but the North was not some racial fantasy camp. But, I'm sure the agenda in this series won't address that. I just ask for an historical program that doesn't inject so much of today's modern liberal speech patterns and activist bias.
The only remotely believable character on the show is the black "doctor" who actually uses the N word. Let's face it. This would have been the terminology North and South. I have higher hopes for this show. I just hope it doesn't fall in the PC nightmare trap that so many modern films and movies have fallen into.
