Life During The Civil War American 1 CP

A Glorious War… Soldiers in both the Union and Confederacy suffered: Heavy Casualties in battle Poor Living Conditions Diet Medical Care

Casualties Union Enlistment- 2,676,341 Total Union Casualties: 642,427 Battle Deaths- 110,100 Diseases- 224,580 Wounded in Action- 275,174 Confederate Enlistment- Ranges from 750,000- 1,227,890 Total Confederate Casualties Battle Deaths- 94,000 Diseases- 164,000 Wounded in Action- 194,026

Disease For every soldier that died in battle, 2 died of disease. Dysentery and diarrhea claimed more lives than battle wounds. Also faced outbreaks of measles, small pox, malaria, and pneumonia.

Causes of the High Incidence of Disease Inadequate physical examination Ignorance Rural origin of soldiers Neglect of camp hygiene Insect and vermin Lack of proper clothing Poor food and water

Civil War Medicine Federal Government created the United States Sanitary Commission: Improve hygienic conditions of army camps Recruit and train nurses

The Sanitary Commission Superintendent of Women Nurses- Dorothea Dix Did not want women joining to look for romance… recruited applicants to be at least 30 and “very plain looking”. Over 3,000 women served as nurses caring for the sick and wounded on the front lines.

Clara Barton Humanitarian, teacher, and Union nurse Courageous in her duties caring for wounded soldiers (sometimes on the battle field). Second Bull Run Antietam Fredericksburg Established the American Red Cross in 1881.

Civil War Medicine Doctors and Scientists unaware of germ theory of disease. Surgeons inexperienced with treating wounds from new bullets. Doctors did not know how to do blood transfusions and did not have antibiotics.

Civil War Medicine Amputation (removal) of limbs. About ¾ of operations during the war. Could save more lives by removal of the limb to protect from infection: Scab “Fish-Mouth Method”- sewing skin flaps together.

Prisons Improvements in hygiene and nursing did not occur. Confederate Prison: Andersonville, Georgia: 33,000 men into 26 acres. No Shelter Drank from the same stream that served as a sewer. 1/3 of prisoners died.

Prisons Union Prisons: Suffered from the same issues that Confederate camps did. Elmira, New York Provided barracks for sleeping No heat… Adequate food, however soldiers did suffer from malnutrition. 15% died in Confederate Prisons 12% died in Union Prisons

Writing as a Prisoner You are a prisoner of War during the Civil War: Write a 2 paragraph letter home to your family describing the conditions that you have experienced and how it has impacted you.
