Watch the 1934 movie "Judge Priest" starring Will Rogers at:

Will Rogers plays the lead roll, that of Judge William "Billy" Priest in a very patriotic (Confederate) southern town...

Judge Priest depicts life in Kentucky after the Civil War and Reconstruction Period.

It shows the stereotypes and prejudices which existed at that time in a somewhat humorous manner.

Based on a story by the noted Kentucky humorist, Irvin S. Cobb, it presents life as one would have imagined it at that time period.
