Explanation:
As can be interpreted, after reading the excerpt, we understand that the narrator was acting as a man of the union in order to escape and join the Confederate army. In order for the narrator to achieve this goal, an agreement was made where he would pretend to be a supporter of the union, pass by the soldiers and flee. The narrator was so successful in pretending to be a supporter of the union, that he was allowed to return to the union army more than once, to sell products to soldiers.
