Women and The Civil War: The Civil War in Four Minutes

Sarah Kay Bierle of the American Battlefield Trust details the many women on both the Confederate and Union side that made a name for themselves during the American Civil War.
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.

Great information, Sarah. Job well done!

Excellent content. As my main reenacting impression is a field hospital nurse, I am always interested in learning more about the civilian women who volunteered as nurses, as well as how the civilian women in general fared during the war. Great job, Sarah.

Great Video on these women in the Civil War. Thank you for sharing! 💯👍👊

Sarah's overview captured the many themes of the roles of women in the Civil War. These intrepid ladies stepped outside of the "sphere" that society had allotted them. Women proved themselves equal to the tasks set before them during subsequent wars and notably, World War II. Brava!

Ms. Bierle is a delight to watch. I enjoyed the kitchen vid, and her swapping in with Gary out on the fields. More please, sorry Mr. A.

À toutes ces grandes dames, hommages et honneurs.

It's a shame how people today put down the book Uncle Tom, when it helped with the abolitionist movement.

And Uncle Tom was the hero and has somehow become the villain. Morally bankrupt fascist mindset!
