Who is Reno Jones?

Origin Reno Jones is an Afro-American whom lived on a plantation during the days of the Wild West. While he and his family worked on a plantation in the Southern states of America, they where no slaves. He grew up with the plantation-owner's son, Richard "Kid" Cassidy as if they where brothers. When the Civil War broke out, both Kid Cassidy and Reno stood with the Confederate States (which was remarcable since the South was pro-slavery). This was because Reno had only known how good his employee had treated him and his family; as if he was the plantation owner's own son. When the Civil War started, Kid Cassidy went to join the Confederate forces, but Reno remained at the plantation to help out. When the Union Armed forces eventually came to the plantation, they killed almost every one, except for Reno. His love-interest, Rachel Brown , was kiddnapped by the Union forces.
