What information develops the central idea?
Van Lew was never accused of spying.
It may seem surprising that no Confederate sympathizers
took action against Van Lew, given her strong and public
views on secession and slavery. Surely there were
suspicions, especially among her upper-crust neighbors,
but the matter never went beyond those suspicions.
Historians have suggested that the secessionists were
victims of their own cultural bias, believing that no
aristocratic person, and certainly not a lady, would ever
consider taking part in anything as impolite as spying. A
true lady managed her servants, prepared parties and
gatherings, and blindly supported her husband. Such
attitudes worked in Van Lew's favor, diverting suspicion
from her.

explanation:

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
