  1. I dunno, seeking glory or recognition from that bloody war doesn't settle well with me. When I think of the Civil War the advancement of women does not even enter my mind. They want to talk about what women did or contributed I'm all for it. When ya start talking about the hurdles, hardships and walls of resistance they met and pushed through it becomes a different animal. Maybe I'm just an old grumpy cynic.
