Rose O’Neal Greenhow was born into obscurity, but became one of the most powerful women in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately for the Federal government, she was a “Southern woman” and a Confederate spy. Join Angie Zombek to learn more about this pivotal player of the Civil War.
Zombek is currently a professor and the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

It’s interesting how many prominent women during the Civil War ran boarding houses or hotels.

So what happened to the gold? It seems rather ironic that she literally died from the weight of her success in foreign fundraising. Drowning with 2,000 in Confederate gold around her neck and not at the end of union hangman’s rope just seems like karma. Respectfully, WS

The Union was outraged at the Confederacy for slavery and I guarantee her stay in prison was better how slaves where treated.

@IamMysterium 2 жыл бұрын

Well, not all of the Union was outraged, since slavery existed in the North during the War. The Second Lost Cause Myth is that the North entered the war to end slavery. It did not. Rather, it entered the war to Preserve the Union, a point largely forgotten today. Slavery was legal and the South did not have to secede over it. One might say that the North killed 600k people to conquer and subjugate the South, not unlike Imperial Rome or the Soviet Union, to keep the South in the Union. Not a supporter of Confederacy, just saying....

@@IamMysterium I agree. The fact of the matter is, that the average southerner didn't have any slaves at all. And the theory that only blacks were slaves in the U.S., by some of these people, shows sheer lack of study. There were both black, and white slaves, who were originally indentured servants, thanks to no other than a black man, by the name of Anthony Johnson, the first legal slave owner in the U.S. Funny as to how this is never brought up by others...
