In her letters we hear Ada encouraging her beloved to desert, though the movie stops short of making her an abolitionist or a Union sympathizer. She has no political opinions that we hear of at all, which deprives her exhortations of context. They're a little odd if we're to take them as general principles. Would the moviemakers expect our spirits to soar if a Union enlistee deserted before Appomattox Court House and his lady love kept writing him letters begging him to abandon his fellow soldiers so he could come home and screw her?
