Answer 2

Answer:

Congress allowed for pensions for Civil War nurses, but Ellen’s application is denied because the paperwork for her appointment as a nurse was not filed properly. Then her pension was denied because she worked during a time when women were not allowed to accompany men. Her request was also denied because she was married before records were kept and she could not prove she was married to a soldier.
