I would just like the second commenter to take notice that Jasper wasn't racist. I'm only assuming you think this because he fought on the confederate side during the civil war, but a lot of people in the confederate army were only fighting on that side because of where they lived and that actually not a lot of people owned slaves, but they still fought for the south because that it where they came from. The majority of people who owned slaves in the south were farmers or other jobs that required a lot of workers to help and, yes, they treated the slaves awfully, but I highly doubt Jasper was one of them. Most of the 17 year olds who snuck into the army were only there for the "honor" and "glory" of being some sort of war hero.

Also, he was only murderous because he didn't know that there was another way to live without killing people.
