+The path to emancipation for enslaved women was more difficult and different from their male counterparts. Emancipation with men often went hand in hand with enlistment in the military and physical labor, which women were not as privy to. This led to freedwomen taking different roles on the combat field, IE, nurses and cooks. (Tanner Gillikin)
+During the Civil War, many freed black people began to live in refugee camps. These camps were filled with all types of people displaced by the war, notably the elderly, children, and women. African American women in these camps took on many roles to help keep their communities together: becoming surrogate parents for orphaned children, or creating support groups for widowed women.
