Marshall, Jackson

Abstract:

Life on the Southern home front was harsh for many families during the Civil War. With the men away, responsibility for keeping the farms going fell on the women, children, and elderly, since most North Carolinians did not own slaves. Marshall uses the family of Confederate soldier John Armsworthy to describe how the war destroyed the lives and dreams of many families.
