the acting be bad and the writing be bad . it look like something from a high school drama team and this be be unkind to high school drama team . willmott seem to have a dim understanding of the confederacy and it ideology and the civil war or u history in general . he give u no explanation why the united kingdom or france would come to the aid of the csa in the spring of 1863 when the csa be in serious trouble i. e. grant vicksburg . nor do he explain how the confederacy and a nation only 1/3 of the union could annex the state of the union even if it have a desire to do so . this be the same problem later with the tropical empire section of the film again how could such a tiny state one that be bankrupt by the war occupy all of latin america . in the davis plan where slavery be reintroduce to the north via taxation where be the slave go to come from . the confederate constitution ban the importation of slave from abroad and most confederate state ban the interstate slave trade as well e. g. mississippi would not have allow it slave to be send to new york and etc . then there be the wwii section . the csa ally with germany but attack germany chief ally japan as well a a number of other bizarre assertion deal with both germany and japan . the film continue pile more and more surreal experience until finally the horrible experiment be over . don not waste your time . it be not funny and it be not edgy and it be simply garbage . not the worse film ever make for sure and but not worth the nearly 90 minute of your life either . if i be to grade this film a part of a class project i would give it a generous c .
