Sam is a scapegoat, who’s accused by two other Patriot, to be killed for stealing cattles. Even though Tim convince General Putnam that Sam is innocent, the General would still execute Sam because it will serve as an example for others even if he didn’t actually break the rules.

“You have killed my two brothers, and now I’ve got you.” (Watkins and Inge 134) Samuel Watkins, a Rebel soldier in the Civil War, heard these words from a Yankee soldier right after he shot two others dead. Watkins heard a bang, felt the gun shoot, and saw his great friend, William A. Hughes, another Rebel soldier, grab the gun and take the bullet in his stead. Watkins watched as his dying friend was taken off of the battlefield by infirmary corps, never to be seen again. (Watkins and Inge 133-4) This heart-wrenching scene is just one example of Sam Watkins’ experience as a Rebel soldier in the Civil War. He was influenced by many instances such as this, however the three aspects of the war that had the greatest impact on him were his comrades, the battles he participated in, and the horrific injuries and deaths he witnessed.

The American Revolution was a war of principles, fought among the Loyalist and the Patriots. For example, the Loyalists are against losing their fortune, chaos, mob rule, eschewing treason, and the brutality of the perfidious war.

In the novel, My Brother Sam Is Dead, a family struggles with the cull of being a Loyalist or a Patriot. War is gloomy because of the iniquity of Life, Jerry, and Sam’s Death, all of which induces Tim to be unaligned with the Loyalist and Patriots.

Sam Houston was an extraordinary man in our history. He defended what he accepted was useful for the Union not the North or the South. At the point when Sam was censured for giving the triumphant edge to his rivals he said "I know neither North nor South; I know just the Union."

He was savagely yearning, yet toward the end he relinquished for standard all he had ever won or needed. He was a Southerner, but then he relentlessly kept up his devotion to the Union. He could be all things to all men—but, when confronted with his most noteworthy test, he was dedicated to himself and to

British. Patriots. Those two sides were the talk of the colonies for more than four years. The colonists (also called the Patriots) were the rebellious group and were completely in favor for the violent, raging war. Supporters of the King were called the Loyalists or Redcoats, and this specific side was against the crazy war. The book written by Collier and Collier is a well-represented book that shows the amount of patriotism that each person from either side had. Although throughout My Brother Sam is Dead there is an obvious show of side of the characters, the side the author’s chose is not directly stated. Since there is not any direct statement telling us which side they are, readers can use context clues and the themes to find out. Through a lot of evidence, I believe that in My Brother Sam is Dead , although both sides of war are shown, authors Collier and Collier ultimately argue that war is worthless and futile.
