1 answer:

4 0

Women gained acceptance as battlefield nurses during the Civil War due to the sheer need for people to help. So many men were out fighting and dying that the usual decorum of "where a woman's place was" became secondary to the needs of the cause of both the Union and Confederacy. Women initially were not allowed on the battlefield, but only to help at hospitals away from the lines. As the war waged on and the need rose, anyone with any kind of training was plunged into service anywhere it was needed.

Answer:

There were many reasons that led to Secession which ultimately led to Civil war.

Explanation:

Before the Civil War, the country was divided between North and South. Secession was withdrawal of 11 states where slavery was legal from the Union. This was followed by electing Abraham Lincoln as the President. There were many issues between the two states which included the beliefs like one wanted more States Rights while the other wanted the federal government to control the states. Then there were differences over taxes. But the main issue was still slavery. It was legal in South which was then gradually banned.

The Civil War broke out as a result of all these issues. Since the time of the American Revolution, two camps emerged when it came to the role of government.
