it was a station for mobilization. once the union got organized, than they were going to win the war. but for the first 1.5 years, it didn't look good for that union. lincoln could not find the right general. he said to mcclellan, if you are not going to use your army, may i borrow it? then fredericksburg. thankfully, the emancipation proclamation followed just days later. that shifted the whole round and meaning of the civil war. she caught on to that very quickly. i want you to realize that, not everybody was an abolitionist in 1861, including walt whitman. they just wanted to save the union. >> i heard that there were several hundred women who disguised themselves as men to be soldiers in the civil war. is or anything that shows she was her attempted to do that or make that hurt conservation? ms. stiehm: -- her contribution? ms. stiehm: did she want to cross dress? a lot of them were girls who were following sweethearts, like mary. there were a lot of girls who just wanted to be fight and be part of it. clara barton never had that
