[2022] The University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill : Baltimore, Md. : Project MUSE, 0000 1 online resource (pages cm). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Civil War America "Between 1861 and 1865, approximately 200,000 women were widowed by the deaths of Civil War soldiers. They recorded their experiences in diaries, letters, scrapbooks, and pension applications. In Love and Duty, Angela Esco Elder draws on these materials--as well as songs, literary works, and material objects like mourning gowns--to explore white Confederate widows' stories, examining the records of their courtships, marriages, loves, and losses to understand their complicated relationship with the Confederate state. Elder shows how, in losing their husbands, many women acquired significant cultural capital, which positioned them as unlikely actors to gain political influence"-- Provided by publisher. Description based on print version record. Be my wife: love and loss in the Antebellum South -- Prepare for it: weddings, war, and uncertain futures -- Horrors of war: Outliving a husband -- A dead weight on my heart: surviving a war -- I must be taken careof: reconstructing a life -- Beautiful tributes were paid to her: reconstructing a nation.
