Civil War
Spies
The Civil War
was the first war where spying was used on a large scale and became an art.
It is an interesting fact that the brightest and the best were young
females. There were male spies, but none of them were as successful as the
female spies. Three of the very best spies were Rose O'Neal Greenhow,
Emma Edmonds, Bell Boyd. All three of these spies helped their side get
information about the other sides' war tactics. Spying during the Civil War
lead to what is now known as tactical espionage. |
