Abstract
The United States Sanitary Commission was established on June 13, 1861 by President Lincoln, for the purpose of supporting the Northern Armies with supplies and medical care. Each State had its own separate commission. It was through the United States Sanitary Commission that women became involved in the war. They made up the majority of commission volunteers throughout the war. This pamphlet is from the New Jersey Commission and describes its goals and organization.

Upholding the Home Front: New Jersey Women in the Civil War
Detail
New Jersey women quickly mobilized to support the war effort. They raised money, collected food, clothing, sheets, and blankets to ship to the troops, who often lacked needed supplies. Many towns organized ladies aid societies and church groups held fundraising bazaars. Other women struggled to keep farms and businesses afloat in the absence of male breadwinners, or labored for low wages in factories to support the war machine. Women often expressed their patriotism and suffering through poetry, songs, letters, and diaries.

Detail
The United States Sanitary Aid Commission was a private relief organization created by federal legislation in 1861. It had a largely female workforce, including women branch managers, under male governors. A New Jersey branch was founded in Newark in 1864. Activities included collecting and distributing supplies; nursing; administering facilities in army camps, hospital ships, and soldiers’ homes; and assisting disabled and traveling soldiers. The Commission also tried to coordinate the work of the numerous local relief associations.
