Women In The Civil War

Civil war

The three people that i chose were women,medical staff,and African Americans. I thought these people were important because they had a big part in the civil war, and they helped the soldiers mainly the women's. The civil war affected their lives,like the African Americans,There were only whites in the war but when Abraham Lincoln freed them some chose to be in the war.

One of the people I chose were women and this affected their lives Because their husbands went off to war, Many women has to take the men's role at home. Women also helped the men in the war they would Knit socks,make clothing and quilts, and gather shipped supplies like blankets and towels,soap,rifle cartridges,writing paper,bibles,and food.womens were very helpful

to the men in the war.women also worked as nurses.

The second people I chose was medical staff and the civil war affected their lives because they had to do more surgery and give lots of medicine to people.The most common civil war surgery was amputation, if the soldiers was a very bad the doctor had to do surgery in the middle of the battle field. A good surgeon could amputate a limb in under ten minutes. Civil war doctors were ill-prepared,of 11,000 Northern physicans.

The third person I chose were the African American and the civil war affected their lives because some went to the war when they got freed from Abraham lincoln and some were forced to fight for the southern.Many received lower pay and they often got very poor training.And out of the 630 men the 54th sent into the battle and 34 died . And 93 got captured and 146 wounded or missing in action.
All of these people worked hard in the civil war to help people that’s why they are so well known.
