Description
I've seen state-tans all over the internet, but this is my own take on Georgia, one of the original thirteen colonies. This is Jas (James) Sinclair. Now imagine him saying that name in a low, long, Southern, gentlemanly drawl. Hngh.

I like him. c:

-----

All 13 colonies developed the same strong position defending the traditional rights of Englishmen which they feared London was violating. Georgia and the others moved rapidly toward republicanism, which rejected monarchy, aristocracy and corruption, and demanded government based on the will of the people. In particular, they demanded "No taxation without representation", and rejected the Stamp Act in 1765 and all subsequent royal taxes. More fearsome was the British punishment of Boston after the Boston Tea Party. Georgians knew their remote coastal location made them horribly vulnerable.

In August of 1774 at a general meeting in Savannah, the people proclaimed, "Protection and allegiance are reciprocal, and under the British Constitution correlative terms...the Constitution admits of no taxation without representation." Georgia had few grievances of its own but ideologically supported the patriot cause and expelled the British.

-----

Jas is a stereotypical Southern gentleman, meaning that while he respects women to the utmost, he is rather misogynistic and disapproves of seeing them in relatively high positions, particularly compared to his own. Being the deepest of the Deep South, Sinclair is commonly alienated and finds discomfort in that fact, resenting the bullying tactics of the Northern states; most especially North and South Carolina, who tend to team up in Congress and push the entire South towards their own decisions.

Unbearably polite and unfailingly courteous, offering the best of Southern hospitality to visitors with the tip of his hat and an invitation to afternoon tea on the plantation, Jas sees slavery as a necessary evil. While he is aware that the South would not survive without the slave trade, his dallying conversations with the representative Doctor Lyman Hall in Congress have culminated in the conclusion that even though the people have a voice in Congress, it is ultimately the representative that must make the decision as to what is right.

He dislikes Edward Rutledge to the umpteenth power.
But that should be a given.
