I really dislike historical novels where the POV character holds contemporary views on issues which simply don't match the period.
It makes it very hard for writers, as they want to make their characters appeal to modern readers, but I found it very hard to be convinced by a novel where the protagonist was the one who had freed all his slaves in the Antebellum South. I think I gave up after a few chapters.
