New war was about to start. It was a war between the States, between North and South. Here in this case the author describes both parties, he tells about views and beliefs of both sides. It is really hard to make up one’s mind which is right and which is wrong. When he tells about opinion of Northerners who fought against slavery, one will take their noble position for sure. It is nonsense to have slaves in a well-developed and educated society. It is so noble to fight for the rights of all people, no matter what colour of skin and origin they are. It sounds so great and civilized to promote anti-discrimination and equal human rights. But then there is another part of the case. It is South who owns those slaves and does not wish anybody to interfere into their inner state affairs. They have owned slaves for centuries and they are not able to run their business without hands of strong black people.
This was the way how their fathers and grandparents lived and there is nobody who should tell them what and how to do. It is understandable that Southerners will protect their land and their views no matter what, even if they will have to fight against their friends and brothers. They have no choice but to defend their native states and their families from those ‘Yankees’ who should rule on their land. When one reads a book and sees the events taking place in both parts of the country, he realizes that it is impossible to say who’s right in the situation. Both parties have positive and negative aspects of the led politics. Nobody really wants that war which brings only death and suffering, no one is ready to take weapons and armors and kill his co- citizens. Who needs this war? As it usually happens in our world there are influential politicians ready to neglect and ignore human lives but get more wealth and power.
