In it we encounter the stark reality of patriotism and rebellion played out in the words, thoughts, experiences and emotions of Thomas Files and his fourteen-year-old daughter Mary Francis. Born and raised in the hill country of north Alabama, Tom is determined to defend the United States of America as his ancestors had done in 1776. His strong sense of patriotic loyalty places him and his family in situations of profound conflict and danger. Patriots and Rebels is based on the actual records of real people, as found in the National Archives and published biographical sketches. There were at least a hundred thousand men like Tom Files - white Southerners fighting for the Union - from every Confederate state except South Carolina. Their story has been largely neglected, particularly in historical fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u0026gt; \"A STANDOUT IN CIVIL WAR LITERATURE\"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Patriots and Rebels is an impressive work that combines both \u003cstrong\u003eengaging storytelling\u003c\/strong\u003e and historical fact and context.
