The absence of most of the able-bodied men in the army threw the whole burden of providing the necessities of life upon the women, who, with the assistance of the slaves,
produced both food and clothing from the raw material to the finished products. Thus while
the men were struggling...in camp and in battle, the work of the women was no less heroic
and patriotic in their homes.
