Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Helm felt indecisive about taking the deal/ offer.

Even though Lincoln's offer was generous, Helm struggled with his decision because, by accepting it, he would be turning against much of his family, including members who had already joined the Confederate army. However, by refusing it, he would cut himself off from other members of the family, such as the Lincolns.
