The second installment of my collaboration with the Civil War & Reconstruction Governors of Mississippi digital history project concerns women in Mississippi during the Civil War.

What were some wartime pressures placed upon the women of the state? Did women assert their rights on the home front more so than before the war? What about Unionist sentiments among the population? I'm joined by Dr. Susannah Ural, Dr. Stephanie Seal Walters, and Dr. Diane Miller Sommerville!
