Did Southern women during the Civil War have a hard time running the plantations alone?

I should think so
Southern women pretty much ran the plantations anyway. The men just got the credit for it. The women trained the slaves, birthed babies for the slaves, nursed the slaves, kept finances, they did everything to make the man look clever.
There was a clause in the Confederate draft laws that allowed an exemption from the draft for men who owned more than twenty slaves; therefore I would think that the majority of male plantation owners did not serve in the Confederate Army.
This question is almost a ridiculous one due to the fact that only a small fraction of the southern population owned plantations, and those that did had slaves doing the laborious task of caring for the fields.

What was the historical significance of plantations in American history?
Until the Civil War ended the South's cotton exports, the southern US plantations were the world's biggest provider of cotton (during and after the Civil War, India and Egypt took over the market). Other southern plantations provided the world with Virginia tobacco and do so until this day. Another historical significance is that the US plantations and the slave labour it entailed were economically so important for the South that it caused the Civil War.
