Across Five Aprils is a story based on the Civil War. This book talks about how it affects families, one family, in particular, the Creighton as well as the most horrific war the US has ever had. If you read this book you will find these two topics: forgiveness, and redemption.
What I am writing about first is forgiveness. Forgiveness is the act or process of forgiving or being forgiven. There was forgiveness when Matt forgave the Bordows and thanked them for saving Jethro's life (Hunt, 1964). Even more, forgiveness was found when Abraham Lincoln forgave Eb and the other deserters for deserting the Union (Hunt, 1964). There was more forgiveness when the North and South forgive each other after the war (Hunt, 1964).
Now I am going to write about redemption. Redemption is the action of regaining or gaining possession of something in exchange for payment. There were many times in Across Five Aprils that you could find redemption like, how Dave Bordow redeemed not only himself but his entire family …show more content…
The reasoning behind this is that there were times in the war were the southerners were happier than the northerners. There were also times during the war were the northerners were more joyful than the southerners. The people that were affected negatively in the North where generally only the people that had lost someone in the family or lost someone that was a family friend. Also, another reason why people in the North might have been affected badly during the war could have had nothing to do with the war like maybe being behind on their school work or they had to do so much work that they were exhausted every day of the week. The people in the North were affected only in good ways when they were winning the war or when their kids came home. Maybe even when the found out that the North had just taken over some of the Confederacy
