A Soldiers' Motivation Response

Men and women joined the military back then because life was incredibly boring for them. They needed adventure, and needed to get out. In some cases, some of them joined because they needed to help their family or due to motivation. Most people who joined the armies nowadays most likely do it because of motivation and they want to serve their country. I do not think it's worth the risk to join the army. I would not have volunteered to join if I lived during the Civil War. I'd have to get really motivated and convinced in order for me to join.
