AI voices make a story dry

The AI voice has no feeling in the narration. The book was pretty good until they started justifying the South’s reason for the civil war. A simple google search can pull up the Declaration of the Causes of Seceding States to see that Slavery was the issue. The book goes out of its way to say slavery wasn’t the issue, pointing out blacks owning slaves (without noting they were most likely family that they couldn’t free when manumission became practically illegal), blacks fought for the confederacy (most had no choice, they were conscripted or were taken along to serve their enslavers), and spreading the tale of docile “darkies” who wanted to be slaves.
