Re: Historians View of the film "Free State of Jon

There are stories from Knight's own kin admitting he forced two of his white children to marry two of Rachel's (the ex-slave and proposed lover of Knight) mixed race children to delute the African American genes with more White blood. You will never see this in these more recent histories on Newt Knight because there is an effort now, by his descendents, to clear their name.
