In the movie Django Unchained a character called Dr King Schultz is portrayed as a Liberal minded German Bounty Hunter who is appalled at American Slavery but while also carrying around an almost Prussian like identity. Is he based on any historical precedent/would a person like him exist in 1858?

Could you clarify what about Schultz you found to be "Prussian" as opposed to more generally "German"?
