I agree with Kelly's analysis of the overall picture of the Southern plantation owner and how they're influence was limited by the war. Although, its interesting that the author compares this to Augusta, Georgia which had one of the largest manufacturing centers in the South. Whites also demonstrates that industrial development in Augusta weakened the influence of the elite southern class at the outbreak of war, rather than in the mobilization period. As soon as the war began to consume the cotton industry and wealthy plantation owners were unable to keep up with the demand, they encountered their loss of power and influence. --Joe C. | I agree with Kelly's analysis of the overall picture of the Southern plantation owner and how they're influence was limited by the war.

| + | This chapter really struck me by the utter dependence all women had on their men.

These women sacrificed everything for the war: their husbands, sons, their free time to making clothing, and their homes for impromptu hospitals.-Joyce | ||
