Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, bitter for sweet
Civil war?
That may account for the fathers but what about all the mothers?

My grandfathers uncle lived to be 113 yrs old, he told my grandfather that many women volunteered to be nurses during the war. They were killed many times by disease from dealing/ handling dead people. People that were literally decomposing outside the surgical tents along with limbs just thrown out in the mud. Supposedly there was a lot of illnesses like dysentery scarlet fever, tuberculosis, consumption and other maladies killed 100, 000 thousands of people.
If you've ever been in a theater of war it's not hard to imagine what happened to women.
Anyway knowledge is power.
I am open minded about these things.
Yes many women became nurses and many were killed, yet much less than the number of men. Very rarely were they married, let alone mothers who left their children behind to follow the war. https://youtu.be/z05rVvAHfgk?si=7jm7NbTHr1ejL8UP
