Lawmen: Bass Reeves followed the real-life outlaw Bass Reeves, setting the stage for a potential anthology series produced by Taylor Sheridan and lead actor David Oyelowo. Bass Reeves' remarkable story began as a slave who was forced to fight for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He escaped slavery and lived in Indigenous Territory until the passing of the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. After starting a family as a farmer in Van Buren, Arkansas, he was recruited to become one of the first black Deputy U.S. Marshals in American history.
