In this
lesson, we ask you to read and analyze a series of primary
source documents which capture the experiences of women from
different backgrounds in the Civil War. The documents include
diaries, handbills, photographs, official publications,
and ephemera. The document sets are grouped around the experiences
of southern, northern, and slave women as well as those
who worked as spies or soldiers. It is important to expand
the historical record by including the voices of women in
our studies of the Civil War since they played such a vital
role in the conflict. |
