I can't be surprised that white folks gonna try and re-construct Black history. I first heard of the Devil's Punch Bowl from Tariq. He's not one to get his facts wrong. As we we start getting black empowerment out there and growing in numbers, expect to see more "re-examining" of our history where ever it may be home or abroad.
I have been seeing a yahoo short trying to nuance slavery and make it seemed that it was the norm globally which isn't completely accurate for a few reasons.
Anyway, I've only heard this story talked about among Blacks. I have never met a white person who knew about it, even from the south. So, they are obviously triggered by what we discuss among ourselves.

The Devil’s Punchbowl: Debunking the social media myth of a Civil War massacre
Social media videos and blog posts periodically describe a story of a heinous concentration camp made up of newly freed African Americans along the Mississippi Delta in the 1860s. Historians, however, say there’s no evidence that any of it is true.
