Please accept this advice as a kindness. If you don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of African history, don't open this can of worms. Instead, accept Joss' statement that the origin of the atmosphere of Firefly is the Reconstruction period, onto which are put appliques and filters from other genres to connect the past and the future to the present.

I'm surprised there isn't more discussion of the parallels between the border planets and the present Mid-East, but then I'm european and think the same about Deadwood.
