Abstract:

Besides running businesses and farms while their men were in service during the Civil War, woman contributed to the cause in a number of other ways. They made uniforms, socks, tents, and leather goods. They also made company flags for the men from their hometowns. As the war progressed and materials were in short supply, women had to relearn old skills such as cloth weaving.
