Frank Fowler seem most allegiant to the discriminatory social and cultural beliefs of the period in the story of the gods and the house behind the cedars.

Explanation:

The House behind the Cedars is the first book published by Charles W. Chesnutt, an American novelist. It was published by Houghton, Mifflin & Corporate in 1900. A few years after the American Revolution the story is in the South American states of North and South Carolina

The story involves two African American mingled-race siblings who seek to get white so as to avoid the issues of racism. Because John Walden's complexion is rather black, he has the right to pass as white.

Frank Fowler - a black worker for the Walden household who grown up with Rena and has been in love with her. He is deeply committed to the Waldens and will do anything for Rena. While Molly Walden (Rena's Mother) is left alone, he completely takes care of her and reads/writes her messages.
