quote [ Much of the criticism directed at HBO has been at the potential dangers of portraying modern slavery in a way that might inflame real-life race relations. Bloys insisted that the portrayal will be nuanced.
“The producers have said they’re not looking to do ‘Gone With the Wind’ 2017,” Bloys said. “It’s not whips and plantations. It’s what they imagine a modern day institution of slavery would look like.” “Confederate” will begin shooting after production wraps on the eighth and final season of “Game of Thrones” next year. ] A Twitter campaign to stop the show.
An interview with the GOT team who want to do Confederate. A history lesson, because really, the South pretty much undid their great defeat, and it didn't take long. Reconstruction and 1876: Crash Course US History #22

Man in the High Castle is an amazing show. The difference is it is history that can be explored in uniformly accepted values in Western culture. The subplots (like of euthanasia) are instances we can all agree are bad but may have persisted.
The difference is that this is divisive and antagonistic against a large swath of America and considering that Brazil was the last Western country to outlaw slavery in 1888 it is very hard to see it really carrying forward into the 20th or 21st century.
