Banner of Love

Wayne and Robert, Julie Baker Colter and Adam's two oldest boys are visiting their cousin, Mary, in the south when the Civil war breaks out. Linda Baker, Miles and Jane Baker's youngest and their cousin, John, Joanna and Stephen's youngest are also there. Opinions are divided about "State's Rights" and whether or not the south has a right to secede from the Union. Opinion has always been divided in the Baker family about the issue, but now Mary is married to a southerner and Wayne and Robert are impressionable you, so they side with the south and go to war with their cousin's husband. Linda is, like her older sister, opinionated. and is vocal about her opinions. She wastes no time in telling her cousins how wrong they are and causes no end of trouble for Mary. Mary's and her husband ask the family to send for the errant girl, but time and change intervene and Linda and John leave Mary's, but not the south. Alice and Ray, intending to pick up the thier cousins and return home, are caught up in the war instead.
