Read this excerpt from “drummer man.”
when the president’s call came in, governor magoffin refused the request. in fact, he sent his own notice right back stating that “kentucky will furnish no troops for the wicked purpose of subduing her sister southern states.” well, that got a bunch of us pretty riled up—especially the members of my own family. we didn’t believe that any man had the right to own another.
my uncle james got in such a fever over the situation that he gathered up a group of volunteers to fight for the cause. my pa certainly wanted to go, but he had a bad limp from a bout of diphtheria. when i offered to go in his stead, he was doubtful. then uncle james told him that boys younger than 18 could serve in the drum corps, and the next thing i knew i was packing my things and on my way!
based on the excerpt, why does uncle james feel so strongly about fighting in the war?
because president lincoln calls for volunteers
because governor magoffin refuses to send volunteers
because uncle james has injuries caused by diphtheria
because the narrator’s father also wants to volunteer
