Question

Answer 1

Boys had a lot of the same reasons as their adult counterparts for joining the military. Boys felt an urge in the north to set the South straight. Boys in the South decided to repel the North, which they saw as a hostile invader. ... Therefore, few were inspired to struggle for or against it.
