"Campbell also investigates the complexities behind African Americans' decisions either to stay on the plantation or to flee with Union troops.

But when they brought war into Southern households, Northern soldiers were frequently astounded by the fierceness with which white Southern women defended their homes. Campbell argues that in the household-centered South, Confederate women saw both ideological and material reasons to resist. While some Northern soldiers lauded this bravery, others regarded such behavior as inappropriate and unwomanly."
