Brothers at War

Lila came outside when she heard Sam. She held a piece of paper in her hand. "This is a letter from your brother. Would you like to read it?" Sam wanted to. He missed Ned. They had always been best friends. But that was before the Civil War had started. He said, "No thank you, Aunt Lila." "Oh, Sam," she said. "Are you still angry with him? I don't like it when you boys fight." "He's the one who left the farm. Not me," Sam answered. Lila said, "Now Sam. Ned has a right to his opinion. Same as you." "I suppose," Sam said. "But the last time he visited, he called me crazy. Just for wanting to fight for the South. And I'll never understand why he wants to fight for the North. The South is his home!"
