Women defending the home front.
Women defending the home front Home front and battle front merged in 1865 when General William T. Sherman occupied Savannah and then marched his armies north through the Carolinas. When Union soldiers brought war into Southern households, Northern soldiers were frequently astounded by the fierceness with which many white Southern women defended their homes. Jacqueline Glass Campbell convincingly restores these women to their role as vital players in the fight for a Confederate nation, as models of self-assertion rather than passive self-sacrifice. Campbell also investigates the complexities behind African Americans'' decisions either to stay on the plantation or to flee with Union troops. Black Southerners'' delight at the coming of the army of ""emancipation"" often turned to terror as Yankees plundered their homes and assaulted black women.
