The trilogy of the American Civil War is the first in chronological order. It covers the war before the Battle of Gettysburg, and particularly describes the legendary Southern Army General Stonewall Jackson in detail.
The legendary Colonel Chamberlain of the Northern Army explained the question of the Southern Soldier: Why can't we keep the well water from the river? Why can't we live freely? We must defend our rights. Chamberlain puts it this way: Social systems that claim to protect their own freedom are denying the freedom of others. We can no longer endure the oppression of one group of people on another in our own country. The army is a powerful force. His entire purpose is to dominate others. Because this force is too great, he must not be used rashly or recklessly.
