Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Free State of Jones is a 2016 film chronicling the little-known story of Newton Knight (played by Matthew McConaughey), a white farmer in Mississippi who led an armed revolt by disgruntled farmers and escaped slaves against the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Together, they declare that Jones County, Mississippi and the surrounding region is "the free state of Jones", seceding from the Confederacy. | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
| Free State of Jones / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: While the Free State of Jones holds off the Confederates, who lose the civil war, later the peace is lost, as ex-Confederates in the South use every possible means (legal or illegal) to disenfranchise the former slaves and retake power. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Free State of Jones / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Serena Knight actually left shortly before her death in 1889, rather than living out her life with Newt. It's possibly because he had begun an affair with Rachel's daughter (from a previous relationship), who at the time was fairly young (the film does not mention this). They later had children, like he'd done with Rachel. This omission ends up painting Newt in a better light. It's also unclear if the Knight Company actually flew the Union flag (one Northern newspaper reported this, but no other sources do) or engaged in full on battles with the Confederates. | |

Badass Boast: Subverted, after killing the colonel, Newt doesn't give a triumphant speech, but rather just says "Let's go." | |
