Definitely one of the most powerful points in the novel follows…. How does one judge a race???? For me it is simply not logical. If we (and by that I mean humanity) are going to survive on this planet we had better somehow see bad apples as bad apples. Killrain speaks an unpopular truth, however the truth.The fact that he is an Irish immigrant fighting in The Civil War only adds to the power of his truth. Historically, the Irish in America were considered worse than the dirt on the bottom of ones’ shoe. Businesses in the north frequently displayed ‘no Irish need apply’ signs in their windows, which led to the disillusion and disenfranchised emotions of most Irish immigrants.Although the novel is set during The Civil War, there is no mistaking the truth as witnessed by Killrain’s eyes.He sees what others are blind to, hatred born of ignorance. He is able to see this because he has lived it. We have got to learn to take people one at a time.
