INTRODUCTION

The creation of history as a scholarly discipline has always depended on the discovery,preservation, and accessibility of primary sources. Some of the leading figures in the first generationof academic historians in the United States spent much of their time and energy on this endeavor andin so doing made possible the work of their colleagues who wrote monographs and general histories.The inventions of microfilm and photocopying have vastly improved access to such sources.

At any given time the prevailing conceptions of what is significant in the past will determinewhich sources are sought and valued. When politics and diplomacy are the center of historians’concern, government documents, treaties, newspapers, and correspondence of political leaders anddiplomats will be collected and made accessible. When intellectual history is ascendant, the works ofphilosophers and reflective thinkers will be studied, analyzed, and discussed. Economic historians willlook for records of trade, evidence of price fluctuations, conditions of labor, and other kinds of dataoriginally collected for business purposes. The propensity of modern governments to collect statisticshas made possible whole new fields for historical analysis.

In our own time social historians have flourished, and for them evidence of how people of allkinds have lived, felt, thought, and behaved is a central concern. Private diaries and personal lettersare valued for the light they throw on what French historians label the mentalité of a particular timeand place. The fact that such documents were usually created only for the writer, or for a friend orrelative, gives them an immediacy not often found in other kinds of records. At best the writers tellus—directly or by implication—what they think and feel and do. Even the language and the allusionsin such spontaneous expression are useful to the historian, whose inferences might surprise the writercould she know what was being made of her words.

This microfilm series focuses on a particular group (women) in a particular place (the South) in aparticular time (the nineteenth century). The fact that many of these documents exist is a tribute to thework of several generations of staff members at the leading archives of the South such as the SouthernHistorical Collection at Chapel Hill, North Carolina; the William R. Perkins Library at DukeUniversity; the Alderman Library at the University of Virginia; the South Caroliniana Library; theLower Mississippi Valley Collection, Louisiana State University; the Swem Library at the College ofWilliam and Mary, Colonial Williamsburg; and several state historical societies. The legend ofSouthern Historical Collection founder J. G. DeRoulhac Hamilton who, in his effort to preserve theevidence of the southern past, traveled about in his Model A Ford knocking on doors, asking peopleto look in their attics and cellars for material, is well known. The result of his labors and those of hiscounterparts and successors is a vast collection that includes thousands of letters from women of allages and hundreds of diaries or diary fragments. Only a small part of this material has been studied byprofessional historians. Some family collections cover decades, even several generations. Othersare fragmentary: diaries begun in moments of enthusiasm and shortly abandoned; letterssporadically saved.

The years of the Civil War are particularly well documented, since many women wereconvinced that they were living through momentous historical events of which they should makea record. After the war ended and the “new South” began to take shape, other women wrotememoirs for their children and grandchildren, hoping to preserve forever their memories of abetter time “before the war” or to record the sacrifices and heroism they had witnessed. TheUnited Daughters of the Confederacy made a special effort to persuade women to record theirwartime memories. In the best of circumstances—and each collection included in this editionwas chosen precisely with this consideration in mind—the collections preserve the voices of oneor more women through letters or diaries that cover many years.

Although women’s letters to soldiers were often lost in the mud and carnage of battlefields,soldiers’ letters were treasured and have survived in abundance. If it is true, as Virginia Woolfonce wrote, that in writing a letter one tries to reflect something of the recipient, then theseletters, too, may add to our understanding of the lives of women and families.1 Moreover somany of the soldiers’ letters respond to women’s questions, give hints or instructions onmanaging property, and allude to family life and routine at home, that they can be used to drawvalid inferences about the activities of their female correspondents, even when the woman’s sideof the correspondence is altogether lost.

Seen through women’s eyes, nineteenth-century southern social history takes on newdimensions. Subjects that were of only passing interest when historians depended on documentscreated by men now move to center stage. Women’s letters dwell heavily on illness, pregnancy,and childbirth. From them we can learn what it is like to live in a society in which very fewdiseases are well understood, in which death is common in all age groups, and in which infantmortality is an accepted fact of life. A woman of forty-three, writing in 1851, observed that herfather, mother, four sisters, three brothers, and two infants were all dead, and except for herfather, none had reached the age of thirty-six.2

Slavery has been a central concern of southern historians, generally from the white maleperspective. Seen through the eyes of plantation mistresses, the peculiar institution becomes evenmore complex. We can observe a few women searching their souls about the morality of theinstitution, and many more complaining bitterly about the practical burdens it places upon them.We can find mothers worrying about the temptations slave life offers to husbands and sons—andeven occasionally expressing sympathy for the vulnerability of slave women. Some claim to beopposed to the institution but do not take any steps to free their own slaves. Others simplyagonize. There is, unfortunately, no countervailing written record to enable us to see therelationship from the slaves’ point of view.

Until late in the century the word feminism did not exist, and in the South “women’s rights”were often identified with the hated antislavery movement. “Strong-minded woman” was a termof anathema. Even so we find antebellum southern women in their most private momentswondering why men’s lives are so much less burdened than their own and why it is always theywho must, as one woman wrote, provide the ladder on which a man may climb to heaven.

early in the nineteenth century women’s letters sometimes dwelt on the puzzling questionshaving to do with women’s proper role. After the Civil War a Georgia diarist reflected, apropos thebattle over black suffrage, that if anyone, even the Yankees, had given her the right to vote she wouldnot readily give it up.3 As early as the 1860s a handful of southern women presented suffragearguments to the state constitutional conventions. After 1865 a surprising number of women spokeout in favor of suffrage and a larger number were quiet supporters. There were, of course, equallyardent opponents, and until 1910 or so, organizing suffrage associations was uphill work. As onegoes through these records, however, suffragists and advocates of women’s rights emerge fromthe dim corners in which they tended to conceal themselves when they were alive.

The conventional view that southern women eschewed politics will not survive a closereading of these records. In 1808 one letter writer regretted the fact that a male literary societywould have no more parties since she enjoyed listening to the men talk politics.4 As early as the1820s there is evidence for women’s participation in political meetings and discussions. Suchinvolvement continued through the secession debates and the difficult days of reconstruction. ASouth Carolina memoir offers a stirring account of the role of women in the critical election of1876.5 By the 1870s southern women were already using their church societies to carve out apolitical role, and by the end of the century they had added secular clubs, many of them focusedon civic improvement.

Reading women’s documents we can envision the kinds of education available to the mostfavored among them. Many women kept records of their reading and much of it was demanding:Plutarch’s Lives, for example, or Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. A very youngwoman who recorded reading Humboldt’s Kosmos, Milton’s Paradise Lost, Madame De Stael’sCorinne, and Guizot’s History of Civilization was not altogether unique. Others castigatedthemselves for reading novels and resolved (sometimes over and over) to undertake more seriousstudy. At the very beginning of the nineteenth century a young woman from southwest Virginiahad gone to Williamsburg to school, presumably to a female academy or seminary.6 There aremany examples of strenuous efforts at self-education, and in the privacy of their diaries somewomen admitted to a passionate longing for knowledge (reading clubs, for example, weredescribed as “a peace offering to a hungry mind”).7 Of course one of the limitations of sourcessuch as these is precisely that they come principally from the minority who had some education.It is up to the perceptive historian to extrapolate from these documents to the poorer women, theslave women, and all those who seldom left a record at all. (There are occasional letters fromslaves in these voluminous collections, but they are rare.)

Papers that cover a considerable period provide us with many real-life dramas. Courtshippatterns and marriage and family experience emerge. We see the widow left with children tosupport as she tries various options to earn a living—and in some cases takes to drink to ease herburdens. We see the single woman cast on her own resources as she tries teaching orhousekeeping for a widower to keep body and soul together. Single sisters of wives who died

young were likely to wind up first taking care of the bereft children and then marrying the widower.Other single women bemoan their fate and reflect that it might be better to be dead than to live single.The Majette Family Papers from the holdings of the Virginia Historical Society provide one goodexample among many in the series where a husband and wife corresponded as he moved a slave forceinto new western lands (in Arkansas) while she managed an established plantation in the oldsoutheast.8 Married or single, rich or poor, many women inadvertently reveal the socialization that haspersuaded them that they should never complain, that they must be the burden bearers of family life.

Through the whole century, while the rest of the country was restlessly urbanizing, theSouth remained predominantly an agricultural society. Women’s records allow us to see theboredom of rural life in which almost any bit of news, any adolescent wickedness, any youthfulromance is subject for comment. We see also the profound religious faith that supported manywomen through poverty, childbirth, widowhood, and the other trials that filled their lives. Thereligious history of the Civil War emerges as we see faith challenged by defeat, and manywomen beginning to question things they had always believed. In an act of stoical determination,the mortally ill Ann (Randolph) Fitzhugh penned a comprehensive essay of advice to her pre-teen daughters bequeathing them her ethics on the importance of religion in personal deportment,on the choosing of husbands, and even on sexual relations.9

No reader of these documents can any longer doubt that plantation women, in addition tosupervising the work of slaves, worked very hard themselves. Depending on their level of affluence,women might take care of livestock and chickens, plant and harvest gardens, card, spin and weave,make quilts, sew clothes, and perform many other specific tasks. The Soldiers’ Aid Societies thatformed so quickly after secession rested on just these skills developed in the previous years.

One of the most interesting aspects of southern culture that emerges from papers such asthese is the views women and men had of each other. No matter how much a woman admiredany particular man, she often viewed men in general with extreme skepticism and sometimeswith outright bitterness. Men were often described as selfish, authoritarian, profligate, given todrinking too much, and likely to judge women as a class, not in terms of their individualattributes. Many women found their economic dependence galling. In spite of the rather generalchafing at the confines of patriarchy, individual women were devoted to and greatly admiredtheir own husbands, sons, and fathers. Women who traveled spoke with admiration of theindependence exhibited by northern women (this both before and after the Civil War).Discontent with their own lot included a good deal of private railing against constantchildbearing and the burdens of caring for numerous children.

The concept of a woman’s culture is borne out by much of what can be read here. Womenfrequently assume that they say and feel things that only other women can understand.

It would be difficult to exaggerate the significance of this microfilm publication. Historiansof women have been making use of many of these collections for three decades or more. Now itis gradually becoming clear that they are useful to the student of almost any aspect of southernculture and society. In a recent example, Clarence Mohr, writing about slavery in Georgia,realized that women’s records were virtually his only source for testing the well-establishedsouthern myth that all slaves had been docile, helpful workers when men went to war and left

their wives and children to supervise plantations. Years earlier Bell Irwin Wiley had suggestedthat the story was more complicated than that, but it did not occur to him to look for evidence inwomen’s papers. The description of such docility never seemed reasonable, but it was believedby many people, even some who had every reason to know better. In a close examination ofwomen’s diaries and letters, Mohr found a quite different picture, one of slaves who, when themaster departed, became willful and hard to direct and who gave the mistress many causes fordistress. To be sure, they did not often murder families in their beds, but they becamelackadaisical about work, took off without permission, talked back, and ran away to the Yankeeswhen opportunity presented itself. They made use of all the thousand and one ways of expressingthe frustration bondsmen and women must always feel.10

Wartime documents are revealing in other ways. We can see rumors flying, as victories anddefeats were created in the mind, not on the battlefield. We sense the tension of waiting for word frommen in the army. We see the women gradually losing faith that God will protect them from theinvaders. For some, religion itself is called in question by the experience of invasion and defeat.

As we move into the remaining decades of the nineteenth century, these records allow us to tracesome of the dramatic social changes of the postwar world. In one family we see a member of thegeneration of post–Civil War single women earning her living in a variety of ways and then beginninga full-time career as a teacher at the age of fifty-eight. She continued to teach well into her eighthdecade. This particular set of papers is especially valuable since it goes through three generations—awonderful exposition of social change as revealed in the lives of women.11

We must be struck by the number of men in the immediate postwar years who chose suicideover the challenges of creating a new society without slaves. In records from the second half ofthe century we can see lynching from the white perspective, observe the universal experience ofadolescence, watch the arrival of rural free delivery of mail and the coming of the telephone, andmany other evidences of change. Reading these personal documents the historian may bereminded of Tolstoy’s dictum that all happy families are alike, while unhappy families are eachunhappy in their own way. One may be tempted to revise the aphorism to say that every family issometimes happy and sometimes unhappy—the balance between the two states makes for asatisfactory or unsatisfactory life. Reading family papers one may also be forcefully reminded ofMartha Washington, writing about the difficulties she faced as first lady. She was, she said,“determined to be cheerful and to be happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have alsolearned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon ourdispositions, and not upon our circumstances.”12

From the larger perspective of the social historian, records such as these will help usdevelop a more comprehensive picture of life as it was experienced by the literate part of thesouthern population over a century. They help us understand the intricate interaction ofindividual lives and social change. We can see the world through eyes that perceive verydifferently from our own and understand better the dramatic shifts in values that have occurred inthe twentieth century. Like any other historical data these must be used with care, with empathy,with detachment, and with humility. But given those conditions they will add significantly to our
