CSA: Confederate States of America/YMMV

"Sherman Hoyle: "Slavery, like nothing else, is what defines us, shapes us as a people, as a nation.""
 * Acceptable Targets: White Southern Americans--and, by association, white Americans in general. (They're all racist, they have no culture and wouldn't be able to develop any without black people, and they're basically pure evil.)
 * Complete Monster: The modern CSA government in general, and John Fauntroy in particular.
 * Ear Worm: Senator Fauntroy's campaign jingle. Specifically, the longer version that runs over the credits.
 * Also, the theme to Runaway, a parody of Cops--which, in an even more entertaining/dastardly nod, sounds suspiciously like "Bad Boys" (the Real Song Theme Tune to Cops), but done by a bluegrass band as opposed to a black reggae group.
 * Historical Villain Upgrade: Among other things, the Confederacy is so gung-ho about slavery that their first act after annexing the former Union is to enslave all free blacks. The money quote is at the very end:

"Shelby Foote: "Any understanding of this nation has to be based--and I mean really based--on an understanding of the Civil War. I believe that, firmly. It defined us [...] The Civil War defined us as what we are, and it opened us to what we became--both good and bad things.""
 * Sherman Hoyle's quote is a send-up of a similarly phrased quote by historian Shelby Foote in Ken Burns' The Civil War:


 * More likely it's based on the speeches of real-life CSA Vice-President Alexander Stephens, who said that very thing.
 * Misaimed Fandom / Misaimed Hatedom: Both examples of these can easily be found in this article's Headscratchers, discussion, and review pages.

The purpose of this documentary is to discuss the issue of racism from a new angle. Unfortunately, that purpose is lost on the people (both American and non-American) who applaud the documentary for "exposing the real United States as the Evil Empire that it truly is."

Similarly, this documentary attracts a lot of angry ranting by people who can't grasp the purpose of the documentary and instead focus on all the societal, economic, and political issues that would make this film an impossibility in Real Life.
 * Older Than They Think: Yes, the word "Aryan" (when used to describe a person of Northern European ancestry) did exist before the Nazis got their mitts on it. In fact, it is used in precisely this context in D. W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation, which The Hunt for Dishonest Abe is an obvious Captain Ersatz for.
