“You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.”

– Jeannette Rankin

Memorial Day came out of the Civil War, about laying wreaths on the Union soldiers graves, per a plaque we saw today, May 9th, 2012 at Jefferson City in the Museum at the Capitol.

Here is what else came out of the Civil War:

Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the Battle Hymn of the Republic to inspire the soldiers to fight the Civil War was so disgusted with war afterwards including the Franco-Prussian war that she issued a call to the women of the world to unite to stop all wars. This was one origin of one “Mother's Day”.

Mother's Day Proclamation

Laura Kacere, Op-Ed: "Mother's Day began in America in 1870 when Julia Ward Howe wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation. Written in response to the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War, her proclamation called on women to use their position as mothers to influence society in fighting for an end to all wars. She called for women to stand up against the unjust violence of war through their roles as wife and mother, to protest the futility of their sons killing other mothers' sons."

Radical History of Mother's Day

The modern Mother’s Day also is connected to the civil war and to Anne Marie Reaves Jarvis work even before:

More Than One Woman Promoted Mother's Day in the US

Emily Elizabeth Parsons, who worked as a nurse from 1862 to 1864 in New York, Vicksburg, and St. Louis (including Benton Barracks Hospital), developed a method of training nurses that continued to be used long after her death in 1880. She opened the Cambridge Hospital for Women and Children as a charity. Her father published the war journal she kept under the title Memoir of Emily Elizabeth Parsons.

Gloria Steinem during her commencement speech on May 18th, 2012 for the George and Betsy Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis:

“Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme said, ‘gender roles are the deepest cause of violence on earth and therefore it was the job of every government to humanize those roles.’ I always quote him because I don’t know of another statesman who said that.”

“I've learned from the histories of the original cultures (indigenous) in which the paradigm was and is the circle, not the triangle, not the hierarchy...And we as movements are a full circle ourselves, and all the movements are connected.”

“I've also learned that change doesn't grow from the top; like a tree it grows from the bottom.”

“Among one of the oldest tribes in Ghana, when someone acts in a clearly damaging way to the community, they do indeed isolate him or her. We are communal creatures, so isolation is probably a pretty universal punishment. But when that person is brought back, there's a ritual amount of time when everyone who knows that person tells them every good thing they've ever done, in order to knit them back into society, encourage good behavior. Wouldn't that be nice here, with so much of the population in prison?”
