Dear family,

I leave this letter to warn you that I am joining the Union Army and asking for your prayers for my protection and for the protection of all those on the battlefield today.

I believe it is God's will that all men be free regardless of their skin color and that the way the Confederates defend slavery is something inhuman and cruel that hurts the Christian principles to which our country has been rooted.

Moreover, I believe that it is my duty as a citizen to fight for the union of our country, so in this way I will be guaranteeing a prosperous future, strong and full of freedom and unity.

Lastly, I apologize for the concern I am causing you, I ask you to understand and to introduce me in your prayers.

Sincerely yours,

John.

However it did exist and was guaranteed by law and the Constitution. No this did not make it right, but there it is. Reading literature of the time and many political speeches you find it referred to in many veiled ways.i really hope you understand i love you all.
