A wartime melodrama in which the son of the Southern family surprised his father, sweetheart and friends by refusing to fight for the Confederacy when Sumter was fired upon. The situation that was finally pictured dramatically was slow in getting started. The relationship of the characters was not clear at first nor was the business of the early scenes significant enough to be interesting. Later, this Northern sympathizer, now a Union officer, helps to save his own brother, a C.S.A. officer who is wounded and in hiding in the old homestead. There is the usual "after the war" reconciliations. There is little in the picture of types, settings, acting or freshly-pictured humanity that is likely to be very popular. - The Moving Picture World, November 18, 1911
