Tap Roots

In the early days of the Civil War, “Tap Roots” transports viewers to a Mississippi county that boldly decides to break away from the state instead of joining the battle. Protected by an abolitionist alongside a Native American ally, the county stands its ground against the Confederacy. As the abolitionist’s daughter grapples with the advances of an influential newspaper publisher, she finds herself torn—especially when her Confederate officer fiancé runs away with her sister. Although initially resistant, she eventually seeks the publisher’s help to protect the county from her ex-fiancé’s plans to capture it for the South. Watch “Tap Roots (1948)” online right here.
