More knowledge of US history in re the "West" than is taught in most American schools, to be clear. But to clarify:
The referents of the Browncoats of Firefly and their post-war occupation in the milieu of the show are the unreconstructed rebels in the US Civil War who headed west to be "Cowboys."

And his Browncoats were fighting for independence in a vague never clearly defined way that wasn't for slavery but really didn't seem to be for much except the former Confederate is a stock Western character so he wanted that in his Space Western. It's not one of his finest ideas.

Firefly was a Space Western series by Joss Whedon with a lot of fans. The Browncoats were the quasi-Confederate losers in a war for independence and the heroic space captain was a former Browncoat. Whedon claims he wasn't trying to stir up pro-Confederacy stuff.

Because it used "browncoats," then clearly it's the US Civil War. Instead of the US War of Independence.

The Browncoats in Firefly have a bunch of Confederate Lost Cause stuff. I find heroic space confederates about as appealing as heroic space nazis.

Very roughly, mostly in the sense that they lost a war.
As far as I recall, the Browncoats were not fighting to own people, nor did they state racial superiority in any founding government documents like the Confederacy did with their constitution.

Eh, browncoats = confederates, so is it really that big a stretch?

Ah. Fair!
I figured both Mal's browncoats and TLoU's Firefly both have issues with fascist governments, didn't clock the last word might've been botched. 😁

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #serenity. My choice is the Limpkin, because it has a Brown Coat. #birds #limpkin #browncoats #firefly.
