Most of the facts are historically accurate; however, many of the over-arching themes are not. For example, the movie leaves readers with the impression that the Africans were freed because the court determines them to be people, not property. In reality, the courts did view them as property but freed them because it was proven that they were taken from Africa, and the slave trade there was outlawed at that time.
