I was just looking at a reference book on laws passed by the Mississippi legislature in the 19th Century, and one law caught my attention:
"Husband serving in Federal army or residing in Federal states made cause for divorce." Passed by the legislature in November 1861. It would be interesting to know how many women in the state took advantage of this new law to rid themselves of a husband in the Federal army.
