The story Barn Burning starts out in a trial thats about someones barn burning down. The family has to move on after the trial. They head off to another farm so they can share crop some land. Trouble starts almost right off the bat with the father ruining the farmers rug. When the farmer asked to be paid for the rug, the father fights it in court and gets it reduced by half. This still wasn't the end for then the father decides to not pay that either and goes to do his regular thing to get even. The boy who wants to stop his dad runs off.
The kind of soldiering his father did during the civil war was not very good. He stole from both sides. Towards the end of the story it says how he wore no uniform and stole from both sides. Somewhere in the beginning of the story I read that hid father was a horse trader befor the war.
