.... of years." The first perspective is that of Homer and the modern generation. The second is that of the older members of the Board of Aldermen and of the confederate soldiers.

Therefore, there is only one method of attaining this position.

They use people to advance their own desire. The act of compassion and forgiveness are nothing more than tools that help him to maintain control.
