Can anyone tell me how progressive he really is, without spoilers?

I'd read the threads, but this show is on my list of things to watch when I get some more time on my hands, and I'd like to avoid spoilers if possible. (At least the bigger stuff).

How progressive is he? Because honestly, him being progressive feels like it would be even more intriguing. Maybe I'm just jaded from other fandoms with a lot of time travel/skip in them, but I guess I feel like making him "bigoted" would be too...I don't want to say "easy", but that's all I can really think of.

The guy from the past being naturally bigoted is almost a cliche at this point. Having a guy who has progressive views and genuinely believes them, but is also influenced by the heavy biases of his time...THAT is far more interesting to me than just another "teach the ignorant from another era" situation.

Well...he not only doesn't support slavery, he's genuinely offended at the suggestion that he MIGHT support it. He speaks of people from other cultures with respect. He apparently has no difficulty taking orders from women, and indeed seems to really like assertive women. He switched sides in the Revolutionary War for moral reasons. He's not a great crusader for justice, per se, but he seems to put his money where his mouth is and quietly act according to his morals--which aren't, thus far, at all in opposition with modern morals.

Hm...well, hopefully this won't require too much suspension of disbelief when I actually watch it, but it sounds pretty good! :)
