this mockumentary be godawful . the joke be lame and the actor mug through their role with no sense of timing or subtlety and telegraph every punchline . the history be also poorly think out . not only do the film ask u to buy that the confederacy annex all of the union and but central and south america and the rest of the continental u. s. a we know and it and too . but not canada . one of the stupid bit be the idea that the asian population would grow in california because new chinese immigrant couldn not believe they would be enslave upon arrival . a if enough asian haven not move to canada over the year because they do not like the condition that america do offer . surely and in this scenario and they would have simply emigrate to canada and instead . basically and the film want to drop u into the same spot where we be now and but follow a confederate victory one hundred and forty year before . to this end and the film maker leave out all sort of inconvenient historical trend and incident like industrialism ( the real reason why slavery become economically nonviable ) and marxism and world war i and the expansion of the british empire and the rise of arab petropower and the cold war . russia doesn not even get a look in . and the bit about harriet tubman and lincoln in blackface be just straight up offensive . strangely enough and modern confederate in this film also share the view of modern extreme right wing republican in our timeline . why . people in the confederacy be as vary a lot a people in the union . why automatically assume that we would have a repressed and conservative and homophobic and antisemitic bible belt dominate a confederate world just because some fanatic who insist on perpetuate the conflict culturally be like this . this seem like an ignorant excuse to insult southerner not just white ( both christian and jewish ) but also black and hispanic and asian . nobody in the south get off without a good slap . it a if the filmmaker be look for an excuse to indulge in every vicious southern stereotype they could manage without cause a huge uproar . and no and deliberately make the confederate unrealistically expansionist so that the filmmaker could turn the japanese ( whose army murder ten of million of asian before and during wwii ) and the central and south american ( who have their own obsession with skin color and racial ancestry ) into blameless victim of confederate aggression doesn not make the stereotype any more palatable . a the shaw quote that start off the film note and you would better make people laugh while youre tell them the truth . this film do neither represent it not funny and it neither honest nor truthful . it only exist to get a rise out of people . all it get out of me be a desire to get my money back .
