The character of Catcher Freeman and the slave rebellion of the Colonel’s plantation is a reference to Nat Turner and the famous slave rebellion of 1831, which was led by Nat Turner himself. The part where Colonel Lynchwater wanted the slaves to stop singing was most likely a reference to how Nat Turner used to communicate with his recruits via song.
Catcher Freeman quotes the final lines of the show’s theme song while speaking with Thelma.
