Biography:

Loosh is Philadelphy's husband, Ringo's uncle, and Joby's son. Loosh is the only black on the Sartoris plantation who openly desires the freedom for slaves offered by the Yankees. In this story, Loosh ridicules the war games of Ringo and Baynard, suggesting (though the boys do not understand his implications) that the South is on its way to inevitable defeat.
