I found the begining of the chapter as importnat in setting up the consideration of the roles and questions Confederate wives had for their defeaten husbands. How did this gender conflict affect the end of the war era? | I found the begining of the chapter as importnat in setting up the consideration of the roles and questions Confederate wives had for their defeaten husbands.

| + | I thought that this was a very interesting chapter. I have to agree that religion was definitely important to some men and women in the post-war south. Whites states on page 156 that "religion played a critical role" in the redefinition of the roles of men and women and mothers and fathers. I also thought it was somewhat ironic that Confederate men had to learn to submit in order to survive and maintain some sense of power. The mixed reaction of women to the end of the war also stuck me. It makes sense that while they would be upset at the lose, that they would also be glad to have their fathers, sons, and husbands out of harms way. --Sarah Gardner | ||
