Dawson states that war makes "even the hearts of
women" bitter. How does she support this claim?
May 9th
This is a dreadful war, to make even the hearts of women
so bitter! I hardly know myself these last few weeks. I,
who have such a horror of bloodshed, consider even
killing in self-defense murder, who cannot wish them the
slightest evil, whose only prayer is to have them sent back
in peace to their own country, -I talk of killing them!..
O! if I was only a man! Then I could don the breeches,
and slay them with a will! If some few Southern women
were in the ranks, they could set the men an example
they would not blush to follow. Pshaw! there are no
women here! We are all men!
-A Confederate Girl's Diary,
