In Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," Farquhar and his wife learn from the visitor, who is a Union soldier in disguise, that the South is in desperate need of support and that sabotage against the Union forces is encouraged. The soldier's deceptive conversation ignites Farquhar's desire to take action for the Confederate cause, ultimately leading him to attempt to sabotage the bridge. This encounter highlights the themes of deception and the impact of war on individual lives.
