When Georgia left the United States to join the Confederacy, it caused arguments in Fanny's family. Her father didn't want to leave the Union because he was worried it would ruin their lives. But Fanny and her family supported the South and even had brothers who fought in the war.
Fanny didn't start writing about the war right away. But when she saw how bad things were getting, she decided to write down what was happening.
One important part of her diary talks about when General Sherman and his Union troops marched through Georgia, destroying everything in their path. Fanny had to leave her home and become a refugee in her own state.
