Yankee hatred surely became thin gruel in the face of all the difficulties women faced on the home front. No wonder her letters and a few bars of "Lorena" caused mass desertions in the Southern armies.
I think most men would choose to protect their family first, if they had to make a choice. Or go back back and forth from Army to home as each faced new crises.

Thanks for the article, I'm a native of Bennettsville, SC. If it is OK, I will forward it to my cousin who is the commander of the Bennettsville SCV camp.
