From Confederate nurse Augusta Jane Evans

"O! I longed for a Secession flag to shake defiantly in their teeth at every fire! And my fingers fairly itched to touch off a red-hot-ball in answer to their chivalric civilities." – Confederate nurse Augusta Jane Evans, after being fired upon by Union soldiers from Fort Monroe, Va.

  1. LSP: Thanks. It is good every now and then to run across facts that give lie to revisionists who say Southern white women did not support their husband's secessionist, slave-owning society because the women recognized themselves as being little more than slaves.
