Emma Reed was torn. She didn't know what to believe anymore. One second she was all for the Confederates and the next thing you know she's wondering if the Union is better.
The war was near ending and Emma stayed with her fellow southern states. She didn't know who to root for anymore. So she stayed quiet and hoped for the best. Her state did take quite a beating. It wasn't fair to her. Then again, nothing is fair in war.
The hot sun beat down on the southern states as they rested from marching a long ways. Emma had went off to a nearby creek to get things off of her mind.

"To God be the glory great things He hath done..."
