They Fought Like Men

De: Aiden James, Fiona Fraser

Narrado por: Lisa Larsen, Norman Gilligan

The bitter conflict between the Union and Confederacy, spanning four terrible years from 1861 to 1865, brought the United States of America to the brink of annihilation. Families throughout the nation were torn apart by the Civil War, where soldiers died and their loved ones were left behind in a desperate struggle to survive. A war based on perceived tyranny and rebellion gave birth to many contradictions, where deceit ran rampant on both sides. Within this environment, it is known that at least four hundred women enlisted as soldiers under the pretense of being men, from both the North and South. Brave men who gave their lives for either side were not the war’s only heroes, and this story is dedicated to these remarkable women.
