When I first saw the movie, I thought it was a really nice and accurate touch to have Schultz as an implicit 48er. The liberal nationalist obsession with traditional mythology, the strongly anti-slavery worldview, his very educated-middle-class former profession of dentistry, his age, and, of course, the fact that he was very obviously a German immigrant.
