It may seem surprising that no Confederate sympathizers took action against Van Lew, given her strong and public views on secess

ion and slavery. Surely there were suspicions, especially among her upper-crust neighbors, but the matter never went beyond those suspicions. Historians have suggested that the secessionists were victims of their own cultural bias, believing that no aristocratic person, and certainly not a lady, would ever consider taking part in anything as impolite as spying. A true lady managed her servants, prepared parties and gatherings, and blindly supported her husband. Such attitudes worked in Van Lew's favor, diverting suspicion from her.
—The Dark Game,
Paul Janeczko

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
It's the same as when individuals say, I felt frustrated about him. You are endeavoring to share the feeling that you think the other individual is feeling. For this situation the essayist thought the man was so miserable and "loaded with feeling" that it influenced him heart to wiped out.
