The American Civil War was meant to secure freedom, but this documentary reveals a shocking betrayal. It exposes how the promise of emancipation was undermined by the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and the imposition of Jim Crow laws, which systematically oppressed Black Americans. The film argues that the North's post-war abandonment of its moral commitmentâdriven by political weariness and economic interestsâallowed the South to reclaim power and create a new system of racial subjugation. By examining this often-overlooked history, the documentary shows how a conflict with no "losers" on paper ultimately left millions of people behind, cementing a legacy of racial division that persists to this day. This is the programme 'Timewatch Sold Down the River'. Instagram - @realstoriesdocs Any queries, please contact us at: owned-enquiries@littledotstudios.com
