March's Secretive March During The Civil War

March decides to write letters to his family while he is away at war, the letters also reveal how secretive March can be. March wants to show his braveness toward Marmee during the war. To show he is brave March sends joyful letters about his time at war, but war is expected to be horrible. In the first letter March wrote on October 21 1861, says “Know that I can never leave you quite; for while my body is far away my mind is near and my best comfort is in your affection”. March is explaining in this letter how much he loves his family and braveness he shows them. March teaches the slaves how to read and he does this even though he is told the consequences by Grace. March shows how strong he can be when he believes that he can accomplish something.
March writes on November 1 1861, that he is continuing to do fine and that he does not want them to forget about him while he is away. “I for one will not be sorry to venture forth from here, and yet even in such place as this, there may be found much uplift”. The quote from March’s letter explains how he is letting his family know everything is ok. March keeps some of these things that are going on during the war away from his family. The happiness and comfort of his family means so much to him. March is a proud father of his only daughters Jo and Meg because if they were born boys they would have been would have been obligated to become backup or extra soldiers (around the age they were at the time). March’s children would have had to fight in the war just as he was. March would never want to see his family especially his own children going through the harsh things that happen during war so March felt blessed that he has Jo and Meg as his children. March is a loving and caring person the reason he does whatever it takes to make sure his family is safe and his main priority is to keep his wife Marmee and their children free from
