Influential Women of the Civil War Period

[aawall16]

Eva,
Thanks for challenging me! I am thankful for your thoughts. I agree that Lincoln's birth mother does not fit neatly in the Civil War Era. However, I do think she played a part in the man he later became, therefore, she deserves mention. Perhaps a better place to put her is in the introduction, before I lead into other women...I will think on this.
