Was The Civil War worth the cost? by Ava Geller https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa Ava Geller en-us 2019-03-29 17:10:46 UTC 2023-03-29 17:47:59 UTC hello@padlet.com The Civil War was a very depressing time in American history. Many Americans had gone through so many awful terrors, and in the end, women still didn’t gain their rights because they were not allowed to vote, they were not allowed to serve in the military, and women, in general, had many hardships to face. This concludes that the Civil War was unnecessary to go through because of the fact that women were not considered equal to men in the aftermath. 23gellera1_1 https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347725000 2019-04-02 16:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347725000 Voting Rights 23gellera1_1 https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347729121 2019-04-02 16:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347729121 Military Rights 23gellera1_1 https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347729269 2019-04-02 16:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347729269 Other Difficulties 23gellera1_1 https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347729715 2019-04-02 16:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347729715 "They could not vote." 23gellera1_1 https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347731103 -The Origins of Women's Rights Movement]]> 2019-04-02 16:59:31 UTC https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347731103 "They could not serve in the military." 23gellera1_1 https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347731466 -The Origins of Women's Rights Movement]]> 2019-04-02 17:00:14 UTC https://padlet.com/23gellera1_1/n2j7mcemzkwa/wish/347731466 "Nearly 20,000 women worked more directly for the Union war effort.
