Playing through Assassin's Creed: Liberation, and its really weird that despite the main character's professed anti-slavery politics the opening act appears to have her...preventing a slave revolt? Because it happens to be associated with the Templars? (And the Assassins are loyal to the Kings of France. But that's from a later game.)
Coupled with the main character explicitly benefitting from agricultural trade in the Gulf of Mexico in the mid to late 1700s, which was dominated by unfree labor, and uh...oof.
