The war touched the lives of almost every person
in the United States. Women assumed larger
responsibilities in the workplace because so many
men were absent in the armies. In the North, they
labored as nurses (previously a male occupation),
government clerks, and factory workers and
contributed to the war effort in other ways.
Southern white women also worked as clerks and
nurses and in factories, and thousands took
responsibility for running family farms. Several
hundred women disguised themselves as men and
served in the military, a few of whom were
wounded in battle. Although the war opened
opportunities for work outside the household, its
end brought a general return to old patterns of
employment. Still, the war remained a major event
in the lives of women as it did for the men in
uniform.

How were the peoples rights affected?
Women would work in factories and as nurses, but
many diguised themselves as men and went into the
military Southern women would also have these
jobs such as Factory workers, nurses, or taking
care of their husbands farms. Slave men and
women stayed unequal to whites until a long
period after the war Even boys under the age of
17 would go to war as drummers, musicians, or
soldiers in the ranks.
