Civil War Medicine

Sanitary Amputations 3 out of 4 surgeries resulted in amputations Doctors would clean their instruments by dipping their instruments into one bowl for the entire day You had a 50% chance of surviving an amputation The doctor first used a tourniquet to stop the blood flow, then he cut off the tissue and with a Capitol Saw cut off the bone, and finally sewed up the arteries and veins with either silk thread or cotton thread depending on location

Opiates Drugs such as morphine, laudanum and others were sold in drug stores at the time Doctors did not yet know the power of these substances and as a result many soldiers left the battlefield with a life long addiction If there was no anesthesia available you would “bite the bullet”. In this case, literally.

How to Become a Surgeon General During the Civil War there were only 36 surgeons in the entire United States of America Doctors were not very skilled they only had two years of medical training There were no licensing boards so if you helped the doctor on the battlefield by the war’s end you could become a full fledged surgeon

Bad Medical Advice Doctors were not yet aware of the power of bacteria or what was causing their soldiers to die for that matter. Doctors advised that eating raw meat was nutritious To ease the pain of walking doctors suggested soaking your socks in soapy lye water.

Civil War Weaponry Springfield Riffle Musket

The Minnie Ball Revolutionized military weapons Made of soft lead which meant that it could go farther and shatter bones Was able to push bacteria and dirt further than before Caused many men to loose their limbs if not their lives

African Americans and their Contributions “… let the black man get upon his person the brass letters, U.S., let him get an eagle on his button, and a musket on his shoulder and bullets in his pockets, and there is no power on earth which can deny that he has earned the right to citizenship in the United States." - - Frederick Douglass Approximately 180,000 African Americans comprising 163 units served in the Union Army during the Civil War, and many more African Americans served in the Union Navy. Both free African-Americans and runaway slaves joined the fight. In 1862, President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation opened the door for African Americans to enlist in the Union Army African American soldiers endured racism and were underpaid It is estimated that one-third of all African Americans who enlisted lost their lives

Women and their Contributions Clara Barton started the American Red Cross During the Civil War anesthesia and medical supplies ran low and it was through her help that soldiers received supplies Jennie Hodgers served and fought for three years as Albert Cashier. Her identity wasn't revealed until 1913.
