Thaddeus was also resolute that slaves should be freed though he cared not whether it happened before or after the south was reintroduced to the union except that they would not be able to block or undo the amendment.

It does however, provide a sort of explanation of what sort of terrible occurrences the soldiers are faced with when they find the aforeme...

He does this to reference themes of a book or ideas or information about the situations in the text and to describe his process of research. He uses quotes around the info he uses and states in the text the author and title then restates the source in the notes.
