Summary "In the Sixties" by Harold Frederic is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set during the tumultuous period of the American Civil War and focuses on the lives of characters in a small farming community in northern New York. The story examines the impact of the war on personal relationships and local politics, particularly through the experiences of the Beech family and their conflicts with their abolitionist neighbors. At the start of the story, the narrator recalls significant events from the past that shaped his upbringing, particularly his relationship with Abner Beech, a steadfast farmer known for his strong opinions against abolitionist sentiments. The novel opens with a vivid portrayal of the Beech family dynamics, especially the tension between Abner and his son Jeff, who is at odds with his father's values amid changing social landscapes. As the narrative unfolds, issues of loyalty, rebellion, and the repercussions of the war on family and community structures begin to surface, establishing a rich backdrop for the characters' struggles and moral dilemmas.
