#1 Do you think Miss Dix's financial position gave her an advantage?

I think Dix's money definitely gave her an advantage because without it, she wouldn't have been able to afford some of the things that got her started.

#2 What would happen if Miss Dix gave up every time she was refused?

If Dix gave up, I think we wouldn't have female nurses today and many more males would pursue a career in nursing.

What would Barlows chance be of survival? I thought that his chances very low considering he got shot in the trunk and and paralyzing his arms and legs.

What are the chances of something like this happening?

I think the chances are slim but it obvously it happened to him. Why would Gordan,who had led the attack on Barlow stop to speakto him, make him comfortable, and deliever a message to his wife, and conduct her saftey to Barlows saftey?

1. What would barlows chance of survival be? I think Barlow would probably have about a 10% chance of survival.
2. What are the chances of something like this happening? What makes this story one-of-a-kind? The possibility of both of the soldiers surviving in the first place is low, but the fact that they became friends is insane. Both soldiers thought that the other was dead, they also fought on seperate sides, and Barlow was shot by Gordon, sot his story is one of a kind because they became friends after all of this.
3. Why would Gordon, who lead the attack on Barlow, stop to speak to him, make him comfortable, and deliver a message to his wife, and conduct her safely to Barlows side? Barlow fought for his country, and Gordon felt that it wasn't right to just leave him there to die without at least saying his goodbyes.

1.What are the chances of something like this happening? What makes this story one of a kind? The chances of this happening is very unlikely because it's a crazy for it to be happening. It's very funny that the chances of it happening did happening and they got seated right across from each other. It makes it one of a kind because something like this is happening doesn't really happen often so it's a unique story.
2. Why would Gordon, who had led the attack on Barlow stop to speak to him, make him comfortable, and deliver a message to his wife, and conduct her safely to Barlow's side?  He did it because he felt bad and he realized that Barlow was a good man. Barlow told him that what he was thinking about was his wife when he was about to die, and Gordon felt bad so he delivered his message.

Given the choice, do you think you would choose to fight for the United States or for your home state? Why?

If I had the choice to fight for the United States or my home state, I would choose to fight for my home state. I chose to fight for my home state because that's why everyone I love is at. My whole family, all my friends, and just everyone I know and love is in my home state. That is why I would fight for my home state instead of the United States.

What would convince you to fight in a war where your best friend was on the opposite side? Some soldiers fought opposite their fathers , brothers, or other family members. Could you do this?

Nothing would convince me to fight in a war that my best friend is on the opposite side. I love my best friend very much and I would never do anything that could hurt her. I do everything for her and I would never be in a war against her. If I could be against a family member I still couldn't do it. My family means everything to me and I couldn't see anything bad happen to any of me.

Using what you know about civil war wounds, what would Barlows chance of survival be?
Barlows chance of survival would have been terribly bad. Civil war wounds were usually just amputated. So the chance of him living through an unamputatible wound would be low. What are the chances of something like this happening? What makes this story one-of-a-kind? That they both thought they were dead and they happened to meet each other again.

What are the chances of this happening? What makes this story one of a kind?
The chances of this happening is very low. What makes this story one of a kind is that they met each other across of the dinner table and became good friends.

what are the chances of something like this happening? What makes this story one of a kind? Why would gordon,who had led the attack on barlow stop to speak to him, make him comfortable, and deliver a message to his wife, and conduct her safely to barlow's side.

The chances of something happening like this is very slim and the story is one of a kind because an enemy helped another enemy to become better. Gordon would help barlow because he felt sorry for him as he was a general just like him, and had no problem with delivering the message to his wife.

What would the chance of survival be? I think that there would be maybe  a 10% chance.

Why would Gordon, who led the attack on Barlow stop to speak to him,make him comfortable, deliver a message to is wife, and conduct her safely to Barlows side?
I think that he would do this because of maybe a past relationship with him, or just because he was a decent man and didn't want him to suffer till his death.

fighting your own best friend is hard. armistead knew it. that's why when he was on his death bed he asked hancock's aide to send a message. the message said that he had committed an injustice against his friend. when armistead died, hancock survived and went on to run for president. this shows character that even his friend ,who may have killed him, he was able to forgive.

What does this tell you about the loyalties of men and woman during this time period?
What this tells you about this time period is that no matter what, in the end you still support and protect your home country. If Lewis would have been from the same place as his best friend, Hancock he would have stayed but he wasn't. Since he wasn't, the only reason for him to leave his spot on the U.S. army with his best friend is that he needed to be fighting from where he came from. He probably did not want to leave his best friend because no one would want to do that but in that time period relationships did not seem to matter as much as defending where you came from.
Given the choice, do you think you would choose to fight for the United States or for your home state? Why?
If I was given the choice I feel as if I would fight with the United States because then I would still be on the side with my best friend. Back in that time period fighting and defending seemed to be more important than relationships but I feel that the opposite seems more important. Having someone by your side fighting with you that you can trust seems like a lot of help especially when fighting in a war. You would not have you family when fighting so having a best friend with you seems like the next best thing. Fighting for your home state seems like the good thing to do, but what did your home country do for you? Nothing really other than you living there. Staying with the U.S army and having your best friend did give you something though. It was giving you a better experience by having a part in the United States army and exposing you to new people which later turned into finding a best friend.

this is a cool story where general gordon saves general barlow. barlow gets shot and gordon thinks he is dead. but barlow does not die. later barlow sees a newspaper saying a general gordon has died. barlow thinks of the one who saves him. for fifteen years they think each other are dead. until clarkson potter invite the two to diner and they recognize each other. this shows character as Gordon saved Barlow's life. and didn't even know it. it takes great character to save an enemy

Lewis Armistead gave up his long-standing position in the U.S. Army and fought against his best friend. What does this tell you about the loyalties of the men and women during this time period?

The loyalties of the men in this time period could have either been good or bad. I say that because these two men became friends through war. Meaning that if thats why they are close if they believe different things they might fight against each other. The war was the bigger picture fighting for what they thought was right and that's why they might have split. Also at the same time you can tell a little bit of the loyalties of the relationships made at war. They could be good and that is shown because in the article it says how Armistead when looking at the battle lines of one of his best friend could be thinking back on all the old good times that they used to have or did have. It also says how he thinks that maybe even his friend is looking back at him thinking the same thing that they don't want to fight each other.

Given the choice, do you think you would choose to fight for the United States or for your home state? Why?

I think it would be a very hard choice to fight with my home state or for my country as a whole. First I would need to know the whole situation and know what the reason is behind the war im fighing. Next I would have to have no family let to be able to give up everything I have. So I don't know it I would fight for my home state or my country as a whole.

What would convince you to fight in a war where your best friend was on the oppisite side? Some soldiers fought opposite their fathers, brothers, or other family members. Could you do this?

I don't know if their would be anything for me to fight against my best friend in war. I love all my friends and even if we had I fight I think I would still stick by their side throughout anything. Could I fight against my family, my brothers and father? No, I don't think I would be able to do that as a true person because even if my family did something that would make me hate them I would still love them through everything they put me through.

How many of these stereotypes still exist today?
- I beleive that there still are some stereotypes about woman rights ,but not as many as there were in the past thanks to womens marches and other rights movements. There still are some fields of work that are harder to get in because of gender though.

In your own words what type of woman was allowed to be a nurse?
- The type of woman that had to be a nurse was almost a tomboy. They dressed in dark clothes thay couldnt be dresses or and type of formal wear. It had to be baggy,loose, and dark.

#1 What would happen in Simon Cameron hadn't taken Dix's plan seriously? When do you think the Union Army would have used women nurses?

If Simon Cameron hadn't taken Dorothea Dix's plan seriously, there would be major differences in how the Civil War played out and how our military works today. For one, many more men would have died in battle if it wasn't for Dix's efforts. It would have been crazier than it already was, with wounded men everywhere and no one there to care for them. Today, there would be no female nurses and many more men would go into a career of nursing. Quite frankly, I don't think the Union army would have ever used women nurses if it wasn't for Dix. This is because there was a very strong bias against women at the time.

#2 What would happen if Miss Dix gave up every time she was refused?

If Dorothea Dix gave up every time she was refused, we most likely wouldn't have female nurses today!

#3 Do you think Miss Dix's financial position gave her an advantage?

What did William T. Sherman mean when he said, "Why don't you wear proper clothing" to Mary?
When Sherman said this to Mary he meant, "Why don't you dress like a woman?" He was confused why Mary was not acting nor dressing like a woman because back then woman all acted the same. Mary wanted to be her own person and didn't want being a woman to define her and what she is able to accomplish.

How have things changed since the Civil War in regards to woman doctors? How are they the same? Are there professions today that are still seen as "men's work"?
A lot of things have changed since the Civil War. Unlike back then, now we let anyone work in whatever field they would like to pursue in. They are a lot more women doctors now. They are some things like welding or machine work that a lot of people consider "men's work", but anyone can work in those fields.
