These ladies were not soldiers in any formal sense. All their men were gone to war and many had just been killed, wounded or captured by Sherman's troops at a fort some distance away. There was no one to protect them, so they protected themselves. This was pure desperation and they succeeded without firing a shot or plunging a pitchfork into a single horse's belly.
