Summary "A Rebellion in Dixie" by Harry Castlemon is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the Civil War, focusing on the tumultuous climate in Jones County, Mississippi, where local residents, primarily lumbermen, are divided on the issue of secession. The main character, Leon Sprague, a young Union supporter, embarks on a mission with his father to rally support against Confederate sentiments and inform their community about a secessionist convention. The opening of the novel establishes Leon's determined character as he prepares for a perilous ride with his father to inform fellow Union supporters about their plans to organize against the Confederate influence in their county. The tension is palpable as they must navigate not only the complexities of their own convictions but also the dangers posed by their secessionist neighbors. Leon's father expresses concern for his safety, while Leon is resolute in his commitment to the cause, demonstrating a mix of youthful idealism and an understanding of the grave issues at stake. The opening sets the stage for a narrative filled with conflict, bravery, and the struggle for autonomy in a divided landscape. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
