American History is riddled with many dark ... this may not be the most political way to describe it I reckon. There are things in the past that the USA still hasn't completely dealt with. And there are still things going on that can be considered discriminating to say the least.
So this is a powerful story of a woman that fought against a system that was more than wrong, no matter how it was viewed back then. We may almost find it comical that some people were crying when they lost slaves. Not because they regarded them as humans but as property and value (in money). But the titular character had other plans, not just for herself, but for others that had it as bad or worse than her.
The question is, if you want to delve into that past, if you want to see what this is showing. For education mostly of course, but also for a powerful message.
