"Two Little Confederates" by Thomas Nelson Page is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, the story revolves around two boys, Frank and Willy, who live on a plantation in Virginia. As the war unfolds around them, they experience the excitement and challenges of growing up in a tumultuous time, often viewing the conflict through the innocent eyes of childhood. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to Oakland, the boys' home, characterized as one of the prominent plantations in the area. We meet Frank and Willy, whose lives are filled with play, adventure, and a burgeoning awareness of the war's presence as they grapple with their fears and misconceptions about it. They drift between youthful innocence and the harsh realities of their world, with their fantasies of war contrasting sharply with the concerns of their family, especially as their loved ones enlist. The chapters unfold with their initial reactions to the war, displaying a mix of enthusiasm and confusion as they navigate their new reality and the changes it brings to their lives and relationships.
