re: Obscure/Interesting/Quirky "American" Facts 1865-1880

Bill Compton was a southern plantation owner, who happened to be the only person in the USA at the time who looked at race with complete unbias. He later became a vampire. He now resides in a small town outside Monroe, Louisiana with his young girlfriend Sookie.

His best friend is Eric Northman, whom he met in the early '90's. But Mr. Northman, unlike Mr. Compton, is a badass mother fricker who is over 2,000 years old and hopefully will kill every other person in that town, except for his almost equally awesome ladyfriend Pam.
