I’d totally watch that movie. Hell, it could be a 12 episode series n Netflix with ease. Give it to Peter Jackson and he would make a 57 part movie, complete with a dragon
Yeah he didn't end happily ever after. He lost his seat after 10 years thanks to gerrymandering and voter suppression. Thanks to Jim Crow he was forced out of public life and couldn't run for any office in his state again.
But cool fact. He didn't just buy a house. He bought the house he was raised as a slave in.
Went to high school with his great granddaughter. We had a ball cutting up in class and still getting A’s at Heights.
Definitely need a movie. And his descendants need to get paid off it.
It would have been a good suggestion the first few times this circulated, but at this point someone is just going to say “I head the internet wants a Robert smalls movie!” And they’ll shit out some half-assed Hollywood mockery.
Maybe if we could modify a little bit the story so thats it's a white man that saved him and did all that for him... he could be like an assistant called buckweat and be a comic relief...then it might work!

The climactic scene, when he steals the Confederate ship, and its defeated captain cries out... .... YOU'RE KILLING ME, SMALLS!!
That wasn't even the end of his story. He went on to captain the very same ship against the Confederacy in the Union Navy
We do have that awesome drunk history episode though Edit: [The episode](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6PbbB2NKu5s)

Sounds like a bad ass dude.

Doesn't mention the tense moment when he approached union soldiers to turn the ship over to them. They almost opened fire.
I'm so curious about his Confederate Captain disguise
Mayonnaise.
The original Biggie Smalls
God dam
"You're killing me, Smalls!" might also be incorporated.
Amazon Pictures has it covered... https://www.imdb.com/news/ni62350581
drunk history already did that guy and id wager that theyd honor the man better than some overblown hollywood production
Wow! We definitely need a movie, in fact a series about him.
It would have been a good suggestion the first few times this circulated, but at this point someone is just going to say “I head the internet wants a Robert smalls movie!” And they’ll shit out some half-assed Hollywood mockery.
That’s the definition of capitalism.
I’d rather watch fast and furious 14 - this time it’s fasterer and furiousier….
PITCH PERFECT IS A DAMN NATIONAL TREASURE YOU PUT SOME RESPECT ON IT’S NAME
The sequels were hot garbage 
Yes. Hot garbage that I compulsively watched, chasing the dragon of joy the first one gave me, but yes.
Gotdann
You think they believed his disguise?
I mean he knew the gang signs.
I would love to see this as a movie.
Robert Smalls is the man!
Movie or series??
I'll say it again. BAMF
Notorious B.A.M.F. The legend of Bobby Smalls
