1. The Civil War Times Powerpoint presented by: Kierstin Martin & Jacob laughman

2. The Battle of Gettysburg! The Battle of Gettysburg Was a battle fought between the Confederates and the Union. The Confederates were the Southerners (the slave people) & The Union Northeners (Non- slave people.) Bodies were on practically every surface area of land.

3. Prisoners of War! The Prisoners were held captive to practically rot. Over 80% were mistreated and neglected. Bodies caved in, and walking zombie figures were left to die. Prisoners were barely fed. Take Notes!

4. Prisoners! Handicapped by deteriorating economic conditions. The Confederates lacked the necessary materials and amounts of food for 10,000 prisoners, not to mention the 26,000 that were confined there by June 1864.

5. As a result… ROTTING BODIES! 

6. Conditions during Civil War life.. The union and confederate armies were horridly raised, badly organized, poorly trained, inadequately fed, clothed and housed, and almost wholly without comforts, sports, entertainments or proper medical care. We can’t all get fed 

7. Endured Unnecessary Hardships.. Heavy woolen clothing in the summertime, for example, or leaky tents or maggoty food– but they managed to enjoy themselves indulged in rough sports, and floor play, fixed up winter quarters with “all the comforts of home,” sang romantic songs, enjoyed religious services and revivals, and generally acted like civilians at a picnic– when enemies permitted! Do the Civil Wiggle! Mr. McFadden Mr. Copeland Kierstin the Tiger Frau Sechrist Mr.Dull

8. Presence of Death:  The crude death rate in the antebellum period was around (15 per 1,000 in rural areas, and between 20 and 40 per 1,000 in more popular cities.

9. Andersonville Prison.. Although some prison commanders on both sides were deliberately cruel and vindictive to those in their charge, the conditions were due to circumstances and poor planning! The two gentleman (prisoner commanders) came to an agreement that prisoners were not allowed to return to fighting until they had been officially exchanged!

10. Andersonville Prison Northerners were horrified when they saw the prisoners that were bony, and Skelton- like. Many people clam conditions at Andersonville were a cruel conspiracy against Northern soldiers. Andersonville was feared by all prisoners. (Known to be a treacherous place! The reality of prison camps on both sides were poorly managed, horrendously over-crowded and disease-ridden. ANDERSONVILLE Prison

11. Black Union Soldiers! The confederacy refused to acknowledge black union soldiers, and their white commanders as prisoners of war. Calling the black men, “rebel slaves!” As, “rebel slaved,” African American prisoners of war were subject to harsh punishment & even execution!
