I didn't once, watching the previews to the film itself, expect an accurate portrayal of the time period at all. I don't think it was presented or advertised that way at all. It's Tarantino, and I'm pretty sure his last realistic intentioned film was Jackie Brown. His last three have all been over-the-top and highly fictional revenge fantasies.
As for the character of Stephen (even though I have made the argument against a realist representation in the film itself), it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that a slave would eventually identify with a master. I'm not going to get all psycho-analysis Dr. Phil here, but I would suspect it's like an extended and amplified version of Stockholm Syndrome.
Ok, way off topic from the OP. I just go where the thread takes us.
