The last know widow of a US Civil War veteran died the same year that President Obama was first elected.
The US Civil War was fought, in part, over the practice of slavery and its continued existence in the United States. The Confederacy officially surrendered in 1865 and slavery was legally abolished throughout the country. Maudie Hopkins was the last publicly known widow of a US Civil War veteran. She married William M. Cantrell in 1934 when she was 19 years old. Mr. Cantrell was 86 at the time. He had enlisted in the Confederate army at the age of 16 and served briefly until captured as a prisoner of war.
143 years after the end of the war, in August 2008, Maudie Hopkins passed away. Four months later, Barak Obama was elected as the first African American president of the United States.
