In 1863, a year of contingency, Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee lost the War of the Rebellion because they were blind to southern white women left alone, abandoned. Being women, they wouldn’t tolerate all of the death and destruction. After the Emancipation Proclamation, starving, grieving, they gathered in battalions of the night and destroyed Confederate government buildings and storehouses. The Generals couldn’t figure out who was sabotaging them. Never underestimate the hearts of women. I’m praying we hear their voices drive this darkness away.
