In "My Brother Sam Is Dead," the major dispute between Sam and his father, Mr. Meeker, revolves around their differing views on the American Revolution. Sam is passionate about joining the Continental Army to fight for independence, while his father, a loyalist, believes in remaining loyal to the British crown. This conflict symbolizes the broader tensions of the era, as familial bonds are strained by political allegiances and differing ideals about freedom and loyalty. Their disagreement ultimately leads to tragic consequences for the family.
