Civil War Life
What was a womens life like during the Civil War…?
Big Social Studies project & I need to know some information on what a womens life was like on a farm during the Civil War. What was a normal day like for these women having no men to do the Labor work around the house?
Think of living without any electricity at all: no refrigerators, no washing machines, clothes dryers, vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, microwaves, telephones, radios or TVs, lights, etc. No cars, trucks, or lawn mowers, no tractors, etc. In other words it all had to be done by hand.
This put a lot of pressure on sons left behind. For mothers it meant that aside from doing all the laundry, sewing, knitting, spinning, milking, churning, harvesting, setting food aside for the winter, dishwashing, floor scrubbing, child care and so on they also had to haul water, haul and chop firewood, plow fields, sow grain, tend to fruit trees, take care of the horses, mules, and other livestock, and still get her children to Church on Sunday.
