What "The Good Lord Bird" 1-th episode about
Henry Shackleford, a young slave living in the Kansas territory in 1856, has a run-in with abolitionist John Brown, who mistakes him for a girl and promptly "frees" him. Believing Henry to be his good luck charm, Brown welcomes him into his ragtag army and nicknames him "Onion". Donning a dress for the first time while dodging bullets, Onion quickly awakens to the life or passing stakes in the battle over human bondage and witnesses Brown's divinely inspired unhappy agenda: to free the land of slavery by any means necessary.
