The cognitive dissonance in screenplay fascinates me. In Lochlainn’s mind, they aren’t “slaves” they’re *servants* and only a racist Northerner would disagree.
Like, the book really want us to believe that the South was a haven of racial tolerance and harmony. But, there’s still an auction for buying and selling human beings. One where “cruel masters” and family separation are so common that our protagonist gets a glowing reputation for not indulging in them.
As much as he tells us this is a good system, he’s having trouble hiding just how vile of a system this is.
I was wondering what branch of the military made this MFer a colonel, then I looked it up and he’s a Kentucky Colonel. Of course, should have known. Seems like just the sort of person to constantly use an antiquated honorific when referring to himself.
Forrest was a criminal even by the standards of his own government: He made his fortune largely by importing and selling African captives AFTER even the South outlawed the practice back in the 1820s. At that time, it was technically only legal to trade in Africans that had been captive-born. However, there was a perception among slave owners that freshly captured Africans were more tractable and docile than their domestic-raised kin, who were often seen as lazy and uppity.
Lochlainn, you are a piece of shit who is celebrating a true villain who disdained not only the basic laws of humanity, but the laws of the society he claimed to loyally serve for nothing more than personal profit…
…and that is ASIDE from becoming Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.
Congratulations, dickhead: Your “hero” is on the short list of historical figures that are nearly universally considered pure evil.
Calling someone a nonce is one of my personal favorite insults. Well done.
