Unlike women in the North, women in the South during the Civil War often
worked in factories.
made weapons
ran plantations.
made uniforms.

Answer 1

During the Civil War, women in the South often took on a variety of roles as the war effort intensified. Many ran plantations in the absence of the men who went off to fight, managing the day-to-day operations and overseeing enslaved workers (or, in some cases, free laborers). They also contributed to the war effort by making uniforms and supplies, organizing fundraising events, and providing care for wounded soldiers.

Women in the North also worked in factories and contributed significantly to the war effort in various capacities, but the specific roles and responsibilities tended to differ based on regional socioeconomic conditions. In the South, with its agrarian economy, women's involvement on plantations was more prominent.

So, while Southern women did work on making uniforms and ran plantations, it's important to note that context varies between regions.
