"My heart ain't in this war; I've told you that. And while I say that the right ain't all on the side of the North, I know jest as well that it ain't all on the side of the South either. But if I hev to fight, I reckon it will be fer the South either."(ch.3, pg.44-45) This is ironic because, why would Bill go fight with the south if his family is with the north?
The irony in "Across Five Aprils" lies in the fact that the Civil War, which ultimately tears families and communities apart, also brings people together and fosters unexpected alliances. Despite the devastation and loss caused by the war, characters in the novel find connections and understanding across divides.
