Educator and history buff Katie Wolfe discusses the many ways in which women worked, served, sacrificed, and overcame during the Civil War.
The United States experienced a bloody and decisive civil war from 1861 to 1865. The enslavement of forcibly immigrated Africans was the root cause with branches touching on religion, economics, race, power and the relationship between the individual states and the federal government. Pro-slavery states ceded and formed a confederacy while remaining states are referred to as the Union. Pittsburgh provided a significant source of personnel, war equipment, armament, ammunition and supplies to the Union Army.
Women were everywhere during the war, serving both on the home front and on the front lines.
