The novel's main conflict is the Civil War, specifically the way it tore apart families.

"But this separation, Wilse, it won't do. We're a union; separate, we're jest two weakened, puny pieces, each needin' the other." (pg.29)

"I won't fight fer arrogance and big money aginst the southern farmer. I won't do it." (pg. 45)

"Theres trubel fer fokes that stands up fer their reb lovin sons." (pg. 104)
