-Joby is afraid of the imminent battle because………. -joby is afraid of the imminent battle, so……….
-joby is afraid of the imminent battle, but……….
(The drummer boy of Shiloh)

Joby is afraid of the imminent battle because he is only 14 years old, and this very battle could cause many people their lives, including those with families. Further more no one knows if they'll live through the battle or not.

Joby is afraid of the imminent battle, so he cries in the middle of the night, unsure of what's to come. He questions his role as the drummer boy and his ability to aid the others in battle.

Joby is afraid of the imminent battle, but he knows he has to push pass all odds in order to effectively support his peers in battle, and to ensure their success.

I hope this is what you were looking for, because I literally just read "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh" just to answer this question.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
