Abstract
The control women have over the rise and fall of the Confederacy was demonstrated in its fall at the end of the Civil War and the contributions of women’s newfound freedom. In an Era of self-reflection, especially for women and immigrants of America in the years between 1868 to 1946. The dedication of Americans is defined by their location and social class. The Midwestern identity was developed out of the need for equal opportunity, and in turn women of Chicago’s brothels and Asian American communities, developed the western states and defined the cultural characteristics to the identification of the Midwest. Racism and discrimination have prospered under political anarchy and the governments inability to bring the country back together. Based mostly on secondary sources this thesis aims to identify patriotism pertaining to gender and citizen status. While women are defined as patriotic and nationalistic during times of war, specifically by the government, post-wartime attitudes speak another language of gender expectations.
