Apart from providing a husband and three sons for the Confederate armies, there was not a lot she could do, as she was increasingly incapacitated.

On being captured during the Peninsula campaign, she was allowed to continue on her way to Richmond, as a courtly gesture by the Union commander George McLellan, perhaps mimicking the Confederate style.
