Tarantino rightfully choose not to encroach on that topic for the film, and it being Django's superhero origin story works extra perfectly because you can imagine for yourself the adventures he went on thereafter including an abolitionist motive if you so wish

And the film takes place so close to the Civil War that you can kinda imagine what Django and his wife could have done. Whether they would have gotten involved or just left it all behind.

In my historical fanfic series head-canon, I can imagine one scenario where Django meets Grant himself. It’s completely unnecessary but I just like the mental image of Django meeting the general who won the Civil War (with help from Sherman of course).

I would pay any amount of money for one scene of Django making fun of Jackson for being a fucking weirdo. Preferably in front of Lee and Longstreet.

Same here. Our own fanfic historical fiction universe. The Django verse.
