Her memoir successfully addressed past grievances of colonialism and also recognized and honored indigenous knowledge and identity.
Blood, death, tears, and shouts, that was life in the Civil War for a soldier. In 1861, the Civil War begun and the states that had once been united were now turning against each other.
