Likewise, there is a general misunderstanding of southern society and the relationship between land and slave owner and what that labor force meant to a family of prominence. It boils down to the writer not doing his research to understand the pre-war South or society of the Civil War period. If they did, the lead actresses would not be dressed like harlots in a bawdy house. No amount of good intentions from re-enactors or historical advisors could have saved this one.
