The Black Hand

Any betrayal you can see is trivial, what is truly frightening and much more lethal, is the betrayal you cannot see.

"Johnny Reb," the nickname for the common Confederate soldier, often highlight his dedication, endurance, poverty, and fatalistic bravery, despite being "half clad, half armed, often half fed". These sayings reflect his reputation as a stubborn fighter and his deep connection to home, regardless of the ultimate loss. 

Just a Johnny Reb in a Yankee world.

Bystander: You know what you're doing?"
— I've done this a thousand times. I once took a bullet from between two ribs, one inch from the heart. Mind you, it was a horse. And the horse did die. 

Just alive purely out of spite.
