Mr.?


Can some one help?


Answer
During the Revolutionary War, many women had to run farms and businesses while their husbands were away. They were responsible for boycotting British goods, and for producing items like cloth which were in short supply.

After the Revolutionary War, the notion of 'seperate spheres' became popular. The ideal was that women should stay at home and take care of the home and family, while men went out into the rough world of business. It was thought that women coul dinfluence the world for good best by staying at home and being a good influence on their husbands and children.

The reality of course was that a great many single women, and some married women, had to work for a living. In the early 1800s, the main occupations for working class women were domestic service and factory work. For middle class women, teaching was the main respectable way to earn a living. There was a shortage of male teachers, so women were encouraged to enter the teaching profession. Another advantage of employing women was that they could be paid a lot less than men.

A number of women had successful careers as writers, novels by female writers were very popular. Most famous of all of course was Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery novel 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', probably the most influential novel of the 19th century. Stowe had hoped that the novel would make her enough money to buy a new dress, she ended up with a mansion and an orange plantation in Florida.

The 1830s was an era when a lot of women became involved in the Abolitonist movement. Sarah and Angelina Grimke for example caused a sensation by becoming the first female anti-slavery lecturers in the USA, lecturing first to female audiences, and then to mixed audiences. women got up petitions, lobbied congressmen, and made items fo rsale at anti-slavery fairs. At an anti-slavery convention in London in 1840, women delegates were relegated to the gallery and not allowed to speak. Two female delegates, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, were discussing this indignantly, and the idea occured to them of holding a convention to discuss women's rights. I ttook them eight years to get around to it, when the Seneca Falls Convention was held in 1848.

The 1850s was the decade in which nursing became a respectable profession for women, thanks to the reforms of Florence Nightingale. When the Civil War started, about 4000 women were employed as professional nurses, and many more were volunteers.

It is certainly not true that women's role in the war was not valued(as the comment above states). As well as the many women who worked as nurses, women were important in organising supplies to be sent to the front. The northern women's relief efforts became a national organization, the United States Sanitary Commission, which performed a critical role in providing food and medical services for the soldiers.

Many women took over jobs that had been vacated by men. Women were employed in the Treasury Department in both the North and the South. Poorer women took jobs sewing clothes for the army, or packing cartridges at the arsenal.

The Civil War produced some outstanding personalities, like Clara Barton, who delivered food and supplies to the front lines, and nursed soliders under fire (after the war she founded th eAmerican Red Cross). Another woman famous for nursing wounded soldiers was Mary Ann (Mother) bickerdyke, who first arrived at an army camp to deliver a relief fund, and stayed to clean up the filthy, overcrowded hospital tents and nurse the soldiers. She was famous for ordering everyone around, and her reputation gave her the clout to get away with it. An army surgeon who challenged one of her orders was told "Mother bickerdyke outranks everyone, even Lincoln."

Answer
Ozark Trail tents are sold by Wal-Mart (1-800-WALMART/1-800-925-6278) and manufactured and serviced by several tent manufacturers.

One manufacturer of Ozark Trail tents is NorthPole USA (1-800-366-1599, consumer@northpoleusa.com). However, your Ozark Trail tent or camping equipment may be made by another company. NorthPole can only provide customer service for NorthPole tents.

Look on your tentâs manual, tag on the inside of the tent, and/or carry bag for its product information. Then contact the specific manufacturer of your product.
