Dutch van der Linde lost his father in a brutal war

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Because nothing justifies a lifetime of robbing trains quite like inherited historical trauma. The charismatic outlaw constantly preaches about loyalty and freedom, but his hatred for structured government stems entirely from his father perishing in the American Civil War. Instead of seeking professional therapy, he formed an armed gang. Truly a healthy coping mechanism.
