Скачать или смотреть A Case Too Disturbing for Netflix — Plantation Owner’s Head on a Pike

In eighteen sixty-four, a South Carolina judge held the power of life and death over the people he enslaved—until the night his head ended up on a pike at the edge of his own property. The official record says Judge Malcolm Hargrove "fled north." The truth is far darker.
This is the story of how an enslaved foreman and a house servant with a talent for forgery turned the judge's own legal machinery against him, engineered a confrontation with the Ku Klux Klan, and orchestrated an execution so carefully planned that an entire county helped maintain the cover story for eighty years.
Drawing from courthouse records, personal journals, oral histories, and sealed testimony uncovered by a Northern journalist in the nineteen-forties, we trace the patient planning that led to one of the most sophisticated acts of resistance in South Carolina history. No sensationalism. No invented dialogue. Just the documented facts about how people denied every legal protection found their own form of justice.
