Military history is about the experience of people at war, not just armies or generals. There are few aspects of society that are not affected. Women, for example, become heads of households, a difficult position particularly on Southern plantations where slaves have been physically removed from proximity to the warfront. Slaves are also beginning to subvert the institution of slavery by simply refusing to work. Although no side can claim victory in mid 1863, the focus of war is changing. It is no longer just a fight to save the Union but a fight for the right of all people to live as free men and women.
