so we have these two different ways of thinking about gender roles in the north and the south. in fact, understanding the basic division of war between the north and the south is very much connected to understanding something about gender. now as we know, we have had all kinds of debates and discussions and war was caused by slavery and war was caused by constitutional principles, and my point is not, i don't really care about that or it is not about slavery, but my point is, we can't really understand the different ways that the two sides conceived of their causes and formulated their differences without understanding gender. but let me get more specific about what i mean. in the south, i believe that southern white men went to war, yes they went to war for slavery, but another way to talk about this is that they went to war -- i have so little blackboard space -- they went to war for something we should call mastery. and what i mean by that is that they went to war to fight for their right to be independent, land-holding men who controlled and ran their own households as they
