Three Girls Fighting On Road.Did you know that hundreds of women fought in the American Civil War on both the Union and Confederate sides?
Well, for one thing, women were not allowed to serve in the army at the time. In each of the hundreds of known cases – and there are surely many more we don’t know about – the women entered the army and fought alongside the other soldiers disguised as men.

How could that have passed the standard physicals given to soldiers? Well, apparently the standard physicals where not terribly thorough – or particularly physical for that matter. As the war drug on and the need for new soldiers became ever more acute, most army surgeons did nothing more than give new recruits a quick – fully clothed – once over and sent them into the fields.
