Jack Carter

Jack Carter was a Confederate aristocrat in Richmond. He hated and looked down upon Jake Featherston and the Freedom Party, and protected the Negroes in his employ out of noblesse oblige; their family had served his since before the American Revolution. When Richmond fell to the United States, Carter's Negroes could come out of hiding. U.S. General Abner Dowling met with Carter, who, far from taking Dowlings hand in friendship, made it quite clear to Dowling that he hated the U.S.
