Divided Houses is the first book to show how the Civil War transformed gender roles and attitudes toward sexuality among Americans. This unique volume brings together a wide spectrum of critical viewpoints by newly emerging scholars as well as distinguished authors in the field to show how gender became a prism through which the political tensions of antebellum America were filtered and focused. Through the course of the book, many fascinating subjects are explored, from new "manly" responsibilities both black and white men had thrust upon them as soldiers, to women's roles in the guerrilla fighting, to the wartime dialogue on interracial sex. In addition, an incisive introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian James McPherson helps place these various subjects within an overall historical context. Divided House sheds new light on the entire Civil War experience, demonstrating how themes of gender, class, race, and sexuality interacted to forge the beginnings of a new society.

After reading the last book and not knowing the reading order for my civil war class, I decided to continue reading about gender during the civil war. “Divided Houses” is an edited book with various previously published essays concerning gender. The authors all agree that fighting in the war gave one manhood. Also agreed by all is that women’s roles changed for more independent women during the war this is the same for both North and South. What they don’t answer is if this independance remained. In the Norht, women seemed to continue their independence fighting for the vote, temperance and civil rights. Southern women depending on the essay may have held the family firm and then returned to submission afterwards. Or did not support the war, their actions lost the war for the South. What seems sure is that life changed for slaves. Female ex-slaves gained some independence but hardly any power. One black husband told a judge that he “owned his wife.” Odd coming from a newly freed slave. We be discussing only a few of these essays. Note 2008 - have used some of these essays in my writings for this class as well as History 100W, and know that this book will be one to reference from time to time. 3-2007 ( )
