There were several women spies during the US Civil War, including Rose O'Neal Greenhow, a prominent Confederate spy, and Belle Boyd, who spied for the Confederacy. Other notable women spies included Elizabeth Van Lew, who was a Union spy, and Mary Elizabeth Bowser, an African American woman who worked as a spy for the Union while posing as a slave in Confederate households.
Women didn't have the right to vote until 1920 and the passage of the 19 amendment, so no woman could vote in the 1860's.
Yes there were farewell dances for the US civil war
The Confederate capture of Fort Sumter was important to the US Civil War because it was the event that led to the US Civil War.
The US Civil War was indeed significant, affecting millions of people.
The south lost the U.S Civil War.
During the US Civil War, espionage was a factor in gaining information about both the North & South. The South had spies in Washington DC and the North had spies in Richmond, Virginia.
Both sides in the US Civil War used spies. Many Union spies lived in Richmond and vice versa regarding Washington DC. Espionage however had little to do with the outcome of the war.
The spies were the cause of rumors of a military takeover of the Federal government in the US Civil War.
They must have been good if people are asking this question
The status of women before the US Civil War was the same as after the war. Women were home makers, houswifes and basically ignored. Although many women did notable things in the US Civil War,they still did not get the right to vote as citizens of their country until well into the 20th century. The USA treated their women shamefully.
A couple names of some important women that were involved in the Civil War were Clara Barton, Rose O' Neal Greenhow, Mary Todd Lincoln, Varnia Jefferson Davis, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, and Elizabeth Neblett.
Ordinary women on both sides of the US Civil War had a number of new career opportunities. Among them was the chance to become postal workers. Previously this civil service career ladder for women was dominated by men. Women continued to work in the post offices after the war.
Women were very active in the civil war. Many were nurses on the front lines and took care of the wounded. Some were spies for the Union army and there were some who dressed up as boys/young men and enlisted. Others took care of the farm and children. Some fought off raiders, bandits, and troops that would come into an area.
Slaves and women had the right to vote.
