As a Christian man,
my first allegiance is to God.
:23:10
Then to my state, the state of Virginia.
:23:14
Every state has a primal claim
to the fealty of her citizens...
:23:17
...and they justly control
their allegiance.
:23:20
If Virginia adheres
to the United States, I adhere.
:23:24
Her determination must control mine.
This is my understanding of patriotism.
:23:30
And though I love the Union,
I love Virginia more.
:23:39
Private Jenkins, because of the high
regard with which I hold your father...
:23:44
...you are free to do as you please. You may
return to his new home in Pennsylvania.
:23:49
It is your decision.
But, if you decide to stay with us...
:23:56
...you may never again leave. If you do,
you'll be treated as a deserter.
:24:14
Colonel Jackson, sir. Father.
:24:20
I am a soldier in the 4th Virginia.
:24:25
And in the 4th Virginia I will stay.
:24:29
And if needs be, die.
:24:38
- Then I will take my leave.
- No, sir.
:24:45
It is I who will leave the two of you to
have some time together on your own.
:24:49
You may have this room as
long as you require it.
:24:52
Thank you.
:24:56
Farewell, colonel.
