"War changes people. Lives are devastated and lost, families are torn apart. Sacrifice is rarely worth the price. My brothers had to decide between the cause of the Confederacy and the lives of their family. When I saw them with our mother and heard that they had become deserters, I couldn't believe it. But I knew why they did it, for the family." -William McCall, introduction to Chapter II.

Story

Thomas and Ray returned to find Jackson's cattle and several Confederate soldiers slaughtered by the Union troops. They fought their way to Jackson's barn where they rescued him from being burned alive. After hearing a noise in the barn, Ray and Thomas went in only to find it was an anxious cow. They then began firing upon Union soldiers on the other side of the barn who were trying to shoot Jackson down, who, terrified at the noise had tried to run. The McCalls continued fighting their way back to their residence which had been occupied by numerous Union soldiers. After getting inside their house the commanding officer said he had William and their mother held hostage, and would kill them if the brothers did not back off. Ray suggested Thomas go through the balcony and go in through the back way. Ray attempted to reason with the commander, but he would not hear of it.

Thomas busted in from behind and Ray came in the door, the McCalls shot down all four soldiers with ease. William informed them that their mother had died during the night. Thomas said they could not stay here, that they needed to go to the harbor and look for transportation. William asked Thomas if they had deserted, Thomas said that they did not desert their family, and that was all that mattered in this world. The two fought off more enemy soldiers and Thomas managed to sink a ship carrying reinforcements by commandeering a cannon. William said they should bury their mother, Thomas noted they could not stay long. Ray said they would return, and rebuild their home. Hours later, O'Donnell and Barnsby stood in front of a pile of Union rifles. O'Donnell said they would have to give the McCall brothers a medal for their killing spree, right after they strung them up. Barnsby declared that because of deserters like the McCalls, Atlanta burned, and promised they would hang.
