Life in the Battle

Clara Barton - a dedicated union nurse during the civil war - she founded the American Red Cross foundation after the war - she faced disease everyday in field hospitals

Disease and Sanitation - They faced intense conditions leading to illnesses and diseases such as different fevers, pneumonia, small pox, tuberculosis, chicken pox, measles, mumps and whooping cough. - They faced many hardships other than just being in battle, the illnesses and diseases took away from battle and many more men were lost. (Two thirds of soldiers in the Civil War died of diseases, not wounds) -This impacted both sides, troops spread epidemic diseases to each other long with innocent civilians. Both sides lost many men due to diseases.

Field Hospitals - civilian homes, barns, and any serviceable building was used as a field hospital including tents in the battlefield. These were makeshift hospitals where soldiers wounded In battle wee taken to be amputated or treated for wounds. - the hospitals brought in any sources they could find including carpets, linens, curtains, tables and chairs. During this time people were unaware that tools and linens had to be cleaned and changed to prevent more infection. Amputations were done quickly and by a window so they could be thrown out into a pile. - Eventually, doctors and nurses became more advanced and started becoming more sanitary, Richmond was a good place for a hospital because it had railways coming in from all directions. Be cases it stayed in place it had time to advance and soon had some of the best medical attention during that time.

Surgeon's Tools - Between surgery's and amputations the tools were not cleaned, so diseases was more easily spread. - Because of this unsanitary act, disease spread and amputations killed more people than the original wound did. - After the great amount of death after visiting the hospitals, precautions were taken and tools were changed or cleaned between surgeries, and the doctors and nurses started washing their hands

Andersonville - Camp Sumter military prison -one of the largest confederate military prisons during the civil war -prison of camp run by the confederacy in Georgia, known for it cruelty - 14 months of existence 45,000 union soldiers were confined here -13,000 died here, but were buried in a cemetery created just outside of the prison walls -460 graves had to be marked unknown U.S. Soldiers -The cemetery cite was established as Andersonville national cemetery in July 26, Andersonville began as a stockade built 18 months before the end of the Civil War to hold union army prisoners captured by the confederate soldiers - It was originally built to hold 10,000 prisoners but held more than 32,000 men, that were winded and starving - Andersonville had horrific conditions with rampant disease and contaminated water -they had very little shelter from the hot blazing sun and chilly winter rain - shaped as a parallelogram -The prison had poor sanitation, malnutrition, overcrowding, exposure of elements and disease -Andersonville was compared to extermination camp - when the war ended, Captain Henry Wirz, the prisons commandant, was arrested, charged and was the only executed for war crimes during the civil war
