 I understand the movie is supposed to be a mix of satire and what-if's, but from the reviews I have read (it's not showing here in Missouri) everything he is presentinig is basically along the lines of "the south was wrong and evil".

He even goes so far as to tie the CSA in with Hitler and having the CSA make a pre-emtive attack on Japan instead of the other way around.

I think what he just totally forgets is that even IF the south had won, they were not bent on dominating the Union. All the events that took place in history since then would have still been done under the banner of the Union most likely and the CSA would be an entirely seperate country (or individual states).

Instead he portrays the south as aggressors, bent on domination, slavery continuing (which would have died not long after the war anyway) and a country basically run by the KKK.

This is a good example of a man misleading people and feeding them fals information. The country already is is dire need of better education about the Civil War. Instead we get garbage like this.
