Lieutenant Thomas D. Chamberlain:
I don't mean no disrespect to you fighting men, but sometimes I can't help but figure... why you fightin' this war? Rebel Prisoner:
Why are you? Lieutenant Thomas D. Chamberlain:
To free the slaves, of course. And preserve the Union. Rebel Prisoner:
I don't know about other folk, but I ain't fighting for no darkies one way or the other. I'm fightin' for my rights. All of us here, that's what we're fighting for rights. [pronounces it 'rahts'] Lieutenant Thomas D. Chamberlain:
Your what? Rebel Prisoner:
For our rights. The right to live my life like I see fit. Why can't you just live the way you want to live, and let us live the way we do? Live and let live, I hear some folks say. Be lot less fuss and bother if more folks took it to heart. Lieutenant Thomas D. Chamberlain:
Where'd you get captured? Rebel Prisoner:
From a cut just west of Gettysburg town. Wasn't a pretty sight. Many a good boy lost a young and promising life. Some wore blue and some wore gray. Seen enough of this war? Lieutenant Thomas D. Chamberlain:
I guess I have. Rebel Prisoner:
I guess I have too. Looks like I'm gonna be sittiing out the rest of it. Lieutenant Thomas D. Chamberlain:
Well, I appreciate you talking to me. Rebel Prisoner:
