We are talking here about the cult of true womanhood or cult of domesticity. The victorian ideology describes women role and behavior as being proper, seen not heard, in the domestic sphere, taking care of the kids as a mother and a wife, very chaste, covered and reserved. This same code of honor placed white women on a pedestal while giving away black women to a life of slavery and sexual exploitation. However, there were 2 sets of women barred form cult of true womenhood: poor women, because they worked outside of home and black women, who were not even considered full women. To conclude, women were meant for the home, away from all the influences of business and public affairs. Women were not fit for hard labor, the political life, or the business world.

Why is the Civil War considered the first modern war?
Jet001 [13]

The American Civil War is considered the first modern world for multiple reasons. Advances in technology made it possible to inflict mass casualties. Rifles were more accurate, took less loading time, and the bullets were more devastating in their effects. Earthworks were dug as barriers from direct gun and shellfire. Ironclad ships and the first submarines were used.

Other reasons that this war is considered the first modern war, was that it was possible, because of the railroads and telegraphs, to communicate in a timely manner, in different parts of the country. The war was widespread and communication was vital, whether it was to let someone know that they were getting new supplies of Enfield rifles, to alerting a commander that the opposition was changing position and heading to a new target.

Photography and reporting were extensive in this conflict, bringing the modern horrors of the battlefield into the homes of non-combatants. Everyone was effected or participated in the war. From the destruction of the South to the poor conditions of prison camps, this war touched almost everyone, in some way.
