This is a blanket disclaimer, warning label, what have you.

This story touches on sensitive topics. Very sensitive. The views of the characters, especially of Christian, Jasper, and several other minor characters, are not my views. Yes, they are views that are still shared in many places in the South, and they were widely held at one time, but they ARE NOT THE VIEWS OF THE AUTHOR!

I don't think there is any issue that fanfiction can not touch, Political Correctness or not and I pride myself on touching those issues, but showing the truth, not a warped view of it.

I am not a racist, and I am planning on showing the characters as they would have acted during that time period, but also showing how they will grow. The time period has been thoroughly researched, and I am from the South myself, so several of the dialects and terms are true to life.

If derogatory terms for several ethnicity, races, cultures, offend you, please save us both the trouble and do not read the following story. If you have an open mind, please enjoy it. And remember, people do change *cough cough* foreshadowing *cough cough*

Again, the views expressed in this work of fiction are NOT the views of the Author.

I also do not own the characters from Twilight, who belong to Stephanie Myers, nor do I own the characters from Harry Potter, who belong to the wonderful J.K. Rowling.

There are several historical characters contained in this work, from Stonewall Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S Grant, and several commanders, and soldiers who fought on both sides of the war. I do not own them, but there are several characters throughout the story that I do own and who are being used in an original work. I will ask that you do not use them without express, written position, as they are in a novel that I hope to one day have published. I will be sure to name them in the chapters that they are used in.
