Jacob Anderson: I know how you feel about this war, Pa. I guess we more or less feel the same way, but I don't see how we can sit by and ignore it anymore. Now you say it's not our business, not our fight, but we're Virginians and I believe that anything that concerns Virginia concerns us.

Charlie Anderson: John...

John Anderson: Sir?

Charlie Anderson: What are you going to do? You gonna keep your slaves or let them go free?

John Anderson: You know I don't have any slaves, Pa.

Charlie Anderson: That's right, John, you don't have a slave to your name, do you.

Charlie Anderson: Suppose you had a friend that owned slaves and suppose somebody was going to come and take them away from him. Would you help him - fight to help him keep them?

Nathan Anderson: No sir!

Charlie Anderson: Your name's Nathan, isn't it?

Nathan Anderson: You know my name, Pa.

Charlie Anderson: I seem to remember something about...

Charlie Anderson: I was talking to Henry.

Henry Anderson: Sir?

Charlie Anderson: Well, what do you think?

Henry Anderson: Well, no sir, I wouldn't.

Charlie Anderson: Why not?

Henry Anderson: I don't see any reason to fight for something I don't believe is right and I don't think a real friend would ask me to.

Charlie Anderson: Why we have this same conversation every Saturday before Sunday meeting, I'll never know, but I'm going to pray to the Almighty that this will be the end of it.
