Write two or three sentences comparing Bill and Matthew’s views on the possibility of a war between North and South.

Bill is hesitant to commit to either side. He does not support slavery in the South, and yet, he also considers the treatment of workers in the North to be very similar to the slave experience. In the end, Bill joins the Southern army.

Matthew disapproves of the war as a whole. He believes the two sides of the Union need each other to survive.
