Honestly the timeline of Jimmy’s life is the most maddening for me. His parents were young slaves when he was born, which means that Jimmy needed to be born before the Civil War ended, which would mean that Jimmy would have at least have been in his mid 70s during WW2.

Surprisingly enough, most slaves were rescued during reconstruction. There were obviously a few holdouts and, Heck, there are still enslaved people in the modern day, but the vast majority of slaves became free at most a decade after the Civil War
