The latest anti-Confederate propaganda from Hollyweird is a film called "The Free State of Jones." It's about a Confederate deserter who allegedly has sympathies for the Union and "rebels against the Confederacy." The film is based on a real life person, one Newton Knight, but the Hollywood version of his life is, of course, highly fictionalized, romanticized and skewed. In truth, he was a deserter, bigamist and murderer.
I suggest that you do not see this film. BOYCOTT IT. No use putting money in the pockets of scalawags and purveyors of the Northern Myth.
UPDATE: The movie is a flop at the box office.
