Free State Of Jones (blu-ray)(2019)

This revolutionary new book tells the incredible true story of Newt Knight, a defiant Southern farmer who dared to challenge the Confederacy and create a Free State of Jones in the midst of war.

With the help of local slaves and other small farmers, Knight launched an uprising that led to the secession of Jones County, Mississippi from the Confederacy.

His marriage to a former slave, Rachel, and his establishment of a mixed race community was unique in the post-war South.

Despite facing opposition from powerful plantation owners and the Confederate army, Knight continued his struggle into Reconstruction, distinguishing him as a compelling, if controversial, figure of defiance long beyond the War.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, social justice, or the power of individual courage and determination.
