I believe Jennie was killed intentionally but only because she was mistaken for a Union picket. But I believe your question relates to motive. I evaluated the possibility that Jennie was targeted for aiding the Union. Although this is possible, I do not feel that she was assassinated. There were a number of young women who also baked bread for Union troops in Gettysburg and in adjoining towns but they were ignored by the Confederates. One Alabamian account indicates that they did not know women (Jennie, mom, sister) were occupying the residence and both sides (Feds and Confeds) had urged the women to vacate the premises for safety during the early phases of the battle. There were also articles of war that forbade soldiers from injuring civilians or damaging or stealing goods. While not every soldier followed command, I believe the percentage was quite high and there are accounts of Confederates aiding each other and even opposing troops. Hope this helps and great question. Best, John
