As a fan of Cornwell, who hasn’t read the civil war series, could you elaborate on why its terrible, i know it shows the viewpoint of the South , but does it show it in a too sympathetic light or fails to emphasize the injustices perpetuated by the South in trying to preserve slavery by war? I would love to hear your thoughts, thank you!

Cornwell either doesn’t get the role that slavery played in the war, or really badly mishandles it, because when your heroic POV character is a Northerner fighting for the South, and your Badass Mentor figure is best friends with his slaves and treats them equally if not better than whites, and your Sneering Bad Guys are militant abolitionists…I start to side-eye you heavily.
