Question

Explain one of the roles women played during the American revolution and how these actions benefited the cause.

Answer 1

Answer: Assisted soldiers in the camps

Explanation:

During the Revolutionary War, women were not allowed to fight as soldiers but this did not deter them from helping the war effort. The women in the lives of soldiers such as their wives, betrothed, daughters and even sisters accompanied some of the men to camp.

Here they did such tasks as cooking, cleaning up, fixing the uniforms of soldiers and most importantly, tended to the injured. These women called ''camp followers'' and their jobs kept the morale of the men high and allowed them to focus solely on fighting.
