    The American Civil War had an impact on everyone in the country. Women were no exception. Phelps defines Civil War by saying, “Civil war exists when two or more opposing parties within a country resort to arms to settle a conflict or when a substantial portion of the population takes up arms against the legitimate government of a country.” Many people today do not realise the effect that women had on this war. Without them, the war could have had a very different outcome. Women held an array of different jobs at this time. The women were tired of sitting on the sidelines, they wanted to stand up for the beliefs they had. There was now more of having other people fight for them, they were going to get what they deserved. They broke free of the chains of conformity that bound them to their simple jobs.

Equal to the men, although not always seen as it, women held an array of different jobs during the civil war.…
