[quote=@BingTheWing]The three characters we have right now all act as pretty good foils for each other, I must say.[/quote] You are correct. Billy will not like Black Jack due to his position on slavery and role in the USCW. Billy will remain objective to Phineas. Phineas is curious and will want to talk to both Billy and Black Jack about their experiences in the CSA and USA. Note, Billy did not participate in the Civil War, neither did his father. Billy would have been 16 around the time of Appomatox. But he has heard the stories about the plantations of the south.
