You need something beyond that. Making a show about the country ending slavery in 1789 would only be interesting if it were set in 1789. If it were set in the modern day, what would the show be about? You need to have some focus and slavery ending in 1789 has far less effect on the modern day than not ending slavery at all would, obviously.
