I would think it is at least as likely that Weary was just told to go along.

A lot of free white boys were probably just told to go along, also.

And using NS's logic concerning the Confederacy, since slavery was ruled illegal in the South after the war, then Weary never was slave.

(NS claims the South never seceded and the Confederacy never existed because a SCOTUS decision in 1869 ruled that secession was illegal. It's easy to understand why he's in a mental institute.)

Let me point out that statements like this one are a big reason why the words 'logic' and 'cowboyway' don't often collide in the same sentence.

NS is quite capable of speaking for himself, but I doubt he claims that the southern states never seceded de facto. I suspect his claim is that their secession was not constitutional and therefore was never in effect de jure.

Or at least that's my position.
