You are a patient man, Jimmy. Maybe episode 3 will make it all clear. (Or, maybe not...)

I didn't get through episode 1.

I haven’t gotten round to checking out the TV show yet, but since I read the book some years ago, I’ll know not to expect actual history.
I think it was billed as “alternate history”, and it’s got literary elements from Uncle Tom’s Cabin to Harry Potter. I found it an interesting, if peculiar approach. I’ll have to see how that came out on film.
But it will mislead anyone who expects a story based on the reality of the actual Underground Railroad.

I know the location, and have toured an original Station of the underground railroad, here in Ohio. The descendants of the recipients of those Railroads, are busy all over our country, today, showing their gratitude for those gallant Railroader's actions.
Right here in my front yard:
Nestled in between Paul Brown Stadium and Great American Ballpark:
When I got out of school I worked a year at Williamsburg Apartments in Cincinnati. Old man Myers owned the place and had a mansion on the property.
One day the grounds keeper took me thru a door and down a ladder from inside the carriage house. It lead to a massive cave like structure. There wasn't many lights, but he said it was bigger than a football field and was used in part of the Underground Railroad.
This is the only pic I could find of the mansion. The carriage house was on the right side. Back then there were no other buildings around the house.
After he died they turned his house into Evergreen Retirement Community.

Another deliberate distortion of history. History is being changed to suit their goals.

The results of the distortion, and actual lies, about our history are heartbreaking. I've watched this unethical practice in the accounts of the once small town that I lived in as a youth. Having lived there while history was being made, I actually know how things happened. Reading the revised versions of it, it looks like an account of different town, across the country. I don't believe that all the new historians maliciously lied, but lazily adopted a politically, popular, correct, or productive version of what might have happened. This seems to be the methods being used by today's historians worldwide.
