I think there might have been more "respect" for Powell than the others based upon the things Betty mentioned. While he might have been scared, he was no coward. He accepted his punishment, He was chivalrous in his attitude and actions toward Mrs. Surratt. He came from a good and respectful home. Military training can only go so far in shaping a persons character. It takes what is already there and builds upon it.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
