men Of the South the war was
the solution of the political pro-
blcm. To the women It seemed
an attempt ofthe North TO con.
quer and dcsolate the country.
They irmly and earnestly be-
Iieve the South had long been
oppressed, and that the war
was to further abridgs rights
aud liberties. Believing thus
II may be safely asserted that
10 out Of every 20 women in
the South were ,rrojans In their
courage, Spartans in their forti-
tude, and Romans In their faith
and self sacrifice. Husbands
and fathers and brothers were
made ready for war and given
a woman's blessing, and even
had the Confederate conscrip.
ton act been less stringent the
able bodied men who shirkcd
military service could not have
lived at home for the tmlnts Of
the women.
History will nevor detail the
self-sacrihee aud heroic courage
of Southern women. No mat
ter as to the right OF, wrong of
the cause, they believed it was
right. The blow fell upon the
household early and with full
force. In Virginia seven ont of
ten families were without men
folks at home In three months
from The first battle. Father
and sons went together. Tho
wife and mother gave all she
had and then turned TO face
further anxieties. There were
thousands Of women In the Old
Dominion who lad never laced
their shoes or cOmbed their hair.
The slaves were at hand to obey
every nod. These women sent
their husbands and sons to the
trout and then faced tho quss
ton Of food supply. In many
cases the slaves ran away.
When this occurred the women
went into tho field and put In
such Cropc AZ they could.
Where the slaves remained the
mistress was forced to act as her
own manager aud overseer, as
sumo all responsibility. There
are plenty Of Federal troopers
It'll living who found educated
Ind cultured Southern women
welding hoesand holding plows
n the corn fields within six |
months Of the opening Of the
war.
1t was the Southern women
more than the provost marshaIs
Who checked desertion and
made the offence odions. The
Confederate who left the front
without leave found no welcome
OF his family. He who
anne home by authority, aud
