Not sure how well it correlates with the truth, but I found the mini-series portrayed Devil Anse Hatfield in the more positive (or perhaps just less negative) light. Randall McCoy was certainly shown as totally consumed by hatred and malice with no ability to forgive, or even call it quits. A less comical, and far more tragic Black Knight in a way. "Always victorious", even with all his limbs (in this case family members) cut off.
