As a former officer in the Confederate Army, this man is very concerned about his fate. He is unsure of how the national government will treat him once his state is re-admitted to the Union. Will he regain full citizenship despite leading a war against his own country? When he returned home to the South, his plantation was no more. His home had been burned by the Union Army and the two dozen men and women he kept in slavery were still living on the plantation with no other prospects. At the very least, he hopes his state will quickly be allowed to rejoin the country and once again be able to determine its own affairs. He is concerned that if those freed from enslavement are given the right to vote, they might push for changes in traditional Southern society.
