Being born and raised in Georgia, I would have chose the south, also being a poor farming type family I came from, I would have never thought I was fighting over slavery but to defend my state, home and family. My family was in and around the mountains of Blueridge, Ga. We would not hear much news about anything outside our little community of farmers so the political side or affairs would have been very minute to say the least. The pride and loyalty to defend what we would have been told I'm sure were, those Yankees want to destroy our homes and families.
I would have if I could have chosen which branch of the service to have been in the cavalry. Heck of a lot better to ride than walk. I would have loved the fast pace movements, keeping the flanks protected and the ongoing raids which the cavalry participated in doing.
