Frietchie and Jackson are two different kind of people, but they shared the same value of being brave. They are supporting different sides during the Civil War, Frietchie on the Union side, and Jackson on the Confederates side. They may support different idea, but they are both brave people that is loyal to their own side. Frietchie want the country to stay together like it was, but Jackson wanted the his country to allow slavery, and also exclude high taxes on the souther sides. They wanted the country to be equal, Friechie wanted men to treat men equally, and Jackson also wanted the government to treat the Confederates rightly. The are thinking about the same idea but about different things. Friechie was old, and gray headed, but she can still stand up for her believes and be brave. Even in the poem, Jasckson was on the wrong side, he still commanded not to shoot the flag and Friechie. Jackson don’t want to hurt any old woman, and he admired the bravery of Frietchie when she shouted at the Confederates soldiers. Friechie was old, but her mind was clear, clearer than the Confederates. She knows what is right, what’s wrong. Jackson knew the separation of the country isn’t as great, but he knew that’s their, the southerners’ only way to survive.
