Samuel Watson joined the Confederate Army primarily due to a sense of duty and loyalty to his home state and the Southern cause during the Civil War. Like many of his contemporaries, he may have been motivated by a desire to protect his way of life, which he believed was threatened by the Union. Additionally, prevailing social and cultural attitudes of the time often emphasized honor and valor in military service, influencing his decision to enlist.
