About
Dr. Andrew Torget discusses the role women played during the Texas Revolution. Women supported the war effort by supplying and clothing to Texas Soldiers and by managing farms and households in the absence of men taking part in the war effort. Women endured great hardships, especially during the “Runaway Scrape,” when they fled from advancing Mexican forces. They also contributed to the rebuilding of homes and communities after the war, as exemplified by stories like that of Peggy McCormick, whose farm was destroyed during the Battle of San Jacinto.
