| − | Maria Daly seems to write about the war in a positive, patriotic light. In that sense, she is very much against the South. She describes, "Southern ladies and gentlemen...are very agreeable people with very finished and courtly manners, but they are a class utterly unsuited and antagonistic to the principles of out government."

| − | I wonder how Daly ended up stuck in the South during the war! It sounds like she's writing after the Union had occupied New Orleans, since she describes the Yankees sarcastically as "those barbarous creatures who have done nothing but feed their hungry and clothe their naked since they took their pestilent city." But it seems like the women who volunteered in the hospitals were dealing with both Northern and Southern soldiers. I thought it was interesting how offended she was that the Southern officers had dinner, but then she mentioned that tea was $16 a pound, and I can't imagine how expensive a dinner must have been! Maybe it seemed unreasonably extravagant when they were doing something as serious as waiting for prisoners of war. -- Katie C. | + | I wonder how Daly ended up stuck in the South during the war!
