When men left to fight in the American Civil War, women were forced to take over the farming, in addition to their already staggering housekeeping maintenance, thus leaving them with far less time for soap making. Consequently, this created a demand for manufactured soap. When the men returned from war they became accustomed to the manufactured soap and even began to prefer it. James Pyle ca
