It's an old-fashioned space cowboy adventure, nothing more or less, albeit a pretty entertaining one. John Carter is a former Confederate, which only really factors into the backstory at the very beginning but nevertheless should make it crystal clear that this is very much Of Its Time--the races of Mars could just as easily be noble savage tribal types here on earth, and are pretty obviously a stand-in for that kind of story.
