 * Topic:**

Civil War House Woman
 * Focus:**

The reason for my choice is to point out that the civil war is not just battles; it is also about the women that kept the household together and had so much responsibilities while their husbands/sons were off in the war.

~made 40 pies at a time and would place them in the ice house, which still sits behind the house, to cool. In the winter, ice would be cut from the river and laid down in the sawdust in the icehouse to keep the food through the hot summer -has a kitchen, dairy, farm, rooms to sleep in. Most of a tavern’s customers came to eat, drink, sleep or do all three. In Virginia, the rates that a tavern keeper could charge for his or her meals and lodging were established by the county courts and remained remarkably stable through most of the 18th century. Alexandria innkeepers in 1750 could charge no more than 10 shillings for a gallon of rum, 1 shilling 3 pence for a quart of punch made with "loaf sugar" (white sugar), and 1 shilling for a hot meal with cider. A night’s lodging in clean sheets would cost another 6 pence; after 1755, if clean sheets were not available, the lodging should have been free. Travelers made up the bulk of tavern’s clientele, especially in those establishments along major routes. Arriving on horseback, or in a private carriage if one were wealthy, travelers would also have to pay to have their animals stabled and fed. Generally, travel in the 18th century was not cheap, roads were often little more than footpaths in places and the quality of accommodations could vary widely.

2.) Sam Sekaros remembers that his family used three or four washtubs filled with cracked ice to keep the beer cold. At many taverns, especially the German ones, customers brought their own beer mugs. Fred Dupper, who had a beer distributorship at what is now the Bach School playground, used a fifty-five-year-old copper mug made in Germany by his father, Jacob, who claimed that the metal brought out the beer’s flavor. Born in Greece, Gust Sekaros had run a restaurant in Sioux City, Iowa, before moving to Ann Arbor--his wife Angeline’s hometown--in 1925 to run the Court Cafe. In a prime spot across from the courthouse, sandwiched between a bank and a hotel, the restaurant had a reputation for serving excellent meals, such as pork loin with applesauce or roast beef and mashed potatoes--all-American fare that Sekaros prepared fresh every day. Meals cost 25¢ or 35¢, including coffee. After May 11, Sekaros finished changing the restaurant into a bar. He took out the booths, replacing them with a bar along the right side and tables along the left. He replaced the full kitchen with a grill behind the bar. The tavern still served lunch, mainly sandwiches and hamburgers. “We had the best hamburgers and cheeseburgers in Ann Arbor,” says Sam Sekaros, who is seconded by former customers. The secret, he says, was the meat, delivered fresh every morning from Steeb’s. (The Sekaroses firmly refused to use frozen meat, which Sam claims is good only for spaghetti.)

Now, when you think of clothes that were worn during the civil war, you most likely think of light simple dresses, but that is not the case. First, we will start off with the day dresses. A day dress is worn in the morning or afternoons, and informal occasions such as breakfast and during household chores. They have a closed or close-fitting sleeve, and can be fitted, gathered, pleated, or have a fan front. The skirts are not that full, so they can be worn over multiple petticoats or a hoop. They are made out of cotton and wool for easy care.

For the afternoon tea or promenade dress has more trim and an open sleeve. The bodices have have more trimmings added than the day dresses. The skirts are fuller so larger hoops can fit under the dresses, so the back of the skirt can have more fullness and be slightly longer and training. More expensive fabrics can also be used for these dresses, such as silks, wools, and finer cottons.

The evening and formal wear are rather exquisite. The dresses are "made of the most lavish styling one could imagine." They have a short sleeve, but a three-quarter length sleeve is also acceptable. They can open in the back or front of the dress with buttons, hooks, eyelets and eyes. Very fine silks, cottons and blends of silk and wool are used. The skirts are full with trains in the back, and the lace and trims are very fine and expensive.

The children's clothing are served functional purposes. Boys' shirts and trousers would have buttoned to other underthings, as did some of the clothing for the girls.

Accessories include both underpinnings and outerwear and lovely bonnets, hoods, or hats.

Volunteering: (1.) they formed aid societies to provide soldiers with socks, undergarments, shirts, gloves, blankets, shoes, comforters, handkerchiefs, scarves, bandages, and food. In more isolated areas, women worked as individuals to send supplies to the soldiers. They also planned and attended bazaars, fairs, concerts, raffles, and dances to raise money for army supplies and even sponsored specific Confederate gunboats through fund-raising drives. In addition, white women took on the traditionally male occupation of nursing during the Civil War, taking care of the Confederacy's wounded as best they could. Because many Georgia towns became battlefields during the war, local women often inadvertently became frontline nurses. Hospitals were set up anywhere—homes, churches, town halls, and streets. Other women left their homes to care for wounded troops on the front lines, seeing battle and its ravages firsthand. (Also goes to the volunteering section.) It took a lot of patience and hard work into making these meals, and at the end of the job, you are worn out.

What can you conclude from these facts? That it took a lot of hard work and patience slaving over a hot stove making 3 main meals a day, and expected to make them, too. Sources (1.) []
