Medical knowledge and practices during the Civil War were very basic and unsanitary by modern standards. Surgeons had little training and infection was not understood, so amputation was often the only solution for bullet wounds. Common diseases like dysentery, typhoid fever, and pneumonia spread quickly through unsanitary camp conditions and claimed many lives. While some anesthetics like chloroform were available, overall medical care was limited. Over 600,000 soldiers died during the war, with more from disease than combat injuries.

African American Soldiers in the civil war
This is a breif introduction to the history of slavery and the black soldiers who fought in the civil war.
Battle Of Trenton
George Washington led the American forces in a surprise attack against Hessian and British troops led by Colonel Johann Rall in Trenton, New Jersey on December 26, 1776. The Americans crossed the icy Delaware River in a blizzard and caught the Hessian forces off guard and intoxicated. The battle lasted only 90 minutes and resulted in a major victory for the Americans, with 22 Hessian casualties and almost 1,000 prisoners taken, while the Americans suffered no deaths and only 4 wounded. This victory greatly boosted American morale and helped increase recruitment for the Continental Army.
Lecture 3 the American Civil War
This lecture explains how the North won the Civil War and its immediate impact on American slaves and on the nation as a whole.
Shermans March
William Tecumseh Sherman led the March to the Sea from May to December 1864. His goal was to take Atlanta, a key railway hub supplying the Confederacy, and break Southern morale. Sherman's army of 100,000 men faced 50,000 Confederates led by Joseph Johnston, who was cautious and unwilling to fully commit to battle. Through flanking maneuvers, Sherman pushed Johnston back toward Atlanta over several months of skirmishing. On September 1st, Sherman's forces had surrounded Atlanta, forcing Confederate General John Bell Hood to evacuate the city. Sherman then ordered all civilians to leave Atlanta within 5 days before burning the city to the ground, destroying its ability to support the South.
The presidency of john adams
The XYZ Affair involved failed negotiations between the U.S. and France, where French diplomats demanded a bribe and loan before negotiating. This angered the American public against France. In response, President Adams avoided war but increased military spending. He also signed the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts, allowing deportation of immigrants and imprisonment of government critics. Republicans like Jefferson and Madison opposed these laws as unconstitutional, laying the foundation for states' rights debates.
Early roots of civil war presentation north v south
The document summarizes some of the key differences between the North and South that contributed to the American Civil War. The North had a colder climate suited for industry and manufacturing, while the South had a warmer climate well-suited for agriculture. The Northern economy was based on industry and manufacturing in cities and factories, while the Southern economy depended on agriculture and slave labor on large plantations. These economic and cultural differences between the North and South ultimately led to tensions over slavery and states' rights that escalated into the Civil War.
US History Ch 18.4
John Brown led a raid on the federal arsenal in Harper's Ferry in 1859 hoping to arm slaves and start an uprising. He was captured, convicted of treason, and hanged. His actions increased tensions between northern abolitionists and southern slaveholders. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president, despite not being on the ballot in many southern states. As southern states increasingly feared the potential end of slavery, seven states seceded from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, with Jefferson Davis as its president.
Reconstruction (1865-1877)
The Reconstruction of the South summarizes the period after the Civil War when the United States sought to reintegrate the Confederate states and protect the rights of freed slaves. It describes the competing plans of Lincoln, Johnson, and Radical Republicans to rebuild the South. Ultimately, Reconstruction ended in 1877 with the Compromise that withdrew federal troops and oversight from the South.

Indian removal 2
The document summarizes the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and its aftermath. It describes how over 125,000 Native Americans lived in forests prior to relocation efforts. The Act aimed to remove Eastern tribes like the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole to lands west of the Mississippi River. Despite resistance, military force and death marches known as the Trail of Tears led to the forced removal of these tribes between 1830-1838. After relocation, the tribes established reservations and communities in the lands of present-day Oklahoma and surrounding areas.
The Civil War Begins

Jacksonian Democracy Presentation
Andrew Jackson was the 7th US President known for expanding executive power and populism. Under Jackson, the "spoils system" rewarded political supporters with government jobs. He also faced the Nullification Crisis over high tariffs, threatening force against states trying to nullify federal law. Jackson aggressively pursued the forced removal of Native Americans, like the Trail of Tears, to gain more land. His actions increased presidential authority and aligned the government more with common voters over elites.
African-Americans in World War I
1) In 1917, over 2 million Black men registered for the military draft after the U.S. entered WWI. However, they faced discrimination and were often used as laborers rather than soldiers.
2) Black leader W.E.B. Du Bois urged Black Americans to support the war effort in the hopes it would lead to greater racial equality after the war.
3) When Black soldiers returned from war, they hoped their military service would end discrimination like Jim Crow laws. However, little changed and racism persisted.
(Unit 1) Civil War and Reconstruction Review
The document provides an overview of the key events, people, and policies related to the American Civil War and Reconstruction era. It summarizes factors that led to the Civil War like slavery disputes and secession. Major battles and Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation are outlined. Reconstruction plans from Lincoln, Johnson, and Congress are briefly described. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments and Freedmen's Bureau are also mentioned.
Indian wars
- The document examines the Indian Wars of the 19th century between the United States and Native American tribes like the Cheyenne and Lakota.
- It describes treaties signed that forced Native Americans onto limited reservations and disputes over land, culminating in violent conflicts like the Sand Creek Massacre and Battle of Little Bighorn.
- The U.S. government pursued policies aimed at assimilation and control of Native Americans, including through forced relocation, destruction of the buffalo population, and establishment of boarding schools.
Civil War - A Summary for Grades 5-8
The Civil War was fought between 1861 and 1865 and caused by economic and social differences between the North and South, disputes over states' rights versus federal authority, and the fight over the expansion of slavery. The war began when Confederate forces opened fire on Fort Sumter in South Carolina in April 1861 after South Carolina and other Southern states seceded from the United States. Major battles included Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam, and Gettysburg, which was the bloodiest single day of the war with over 22,000 casualties in a single day. The Union prevailed after General Ulysses S. Grant utilized his superior resources and Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing slaves in Confederate states. Over 6
Civil war
The Civil War lasted from 1861 to 1865 and was fought between the Northern and Southern states over issues including states' rights and slavery. Some key battles included Fort Sumter in 1861, Antietam in 1862, Gettysburg in 1863, and Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House in 1865, marking the end of the war. Over 600,000 soldiers died in the conflict between the Union and Confederate forces.
TX History Ch 18.1
The document discusses Texas and the events leading up to its secession from the Union and joining the Confederacy during the Civil War era. It describes growing divisions between the North and South over issues like slavery, states' rights, and tariffs. Key people and events mentioned include the Dred Scott decision, John Brown's raid, the election of Abraham Lincoln, other southern states seceding, and Sam Houston's opposition to secession and removal from office for refusing to swear allegiance to the Confederacy.
Presentation on the Trail of Tears
This document summarizes the Trail of Tears, which was the forced relocation of the Cherokee nation in the 1830s. It describes how the Indian Removal Act allowed the government to remove Native Americans from the Southeast to lands west of the Mississippi. Specifically, it discusses how the Cherokee refused to leave Georgia, resulting in the Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia that Georgia had no right to remove them. However, President Jackson ignored this ruling. In 1838, over 7,000 troops forced the Cherokee on the trail west, resulting in thousands of deaths from disease and hardship along the 800-mile journey.
10. the battle of gettysburg
The Battle of Gettysburg from July 1-3, 1863 was a major turning point in the American Civil War. It began when Confederate troops searching for shoes encountered Union troops in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, leading to three days of intense fighting. On the third and final day, Confederate General Pickett led Pickett's Charge, a massive but failed infantry assault on the center of the Union lines. The battle resulted in over 50,000 casualties total and halted the Confederacy's invasion of the North. The Union victory at Gettysburg stopped Confederate momentum and was a key factor in the Union's eventual triumph in the war.
Louisiana purchase
The Jeffersonian era was rife with conflict, partisan passion, and larger-than-life personalities. On the domestic front, a new party, the Republicans, came to office for the first time and a former vice president was charged with treason.
Summary of the civilwar
The American Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865 between the Union (Northern states) and the Confederacy (Southern states). Slavery and states' rights were underlying causes of conflict, as the Northern and Southern states had developed differing economic and cultural lifestyles. Notable battles included Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg. The Union was led by President Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant, while the Confederacy was led by President Jefferson Davis and General Robert E. Lee. The war ended in 1865 with the Confederacy's surrender at Appomattox and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
The Louisiana Purchase
The document provides background information on the Louisiana Purchase and subsequent Lewis and Clark Expedition. It summarizes that in 1803, France sold the Louisiana Territory to the United States for $15 million, doubling the size of the country. President Thomas Jefferson then commissioned Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to lead an expedition from 1804-1806 to explore the newly acquired territory westward to the Pacific Ocean. The expedition gathered valuable information about the lands, peoples, flora and fauna and helped establish American control and settlement of the territory.
13. sherman's march
1) In May 1864, General William T. Sherman led over 100,000 Union troops into Georgia from Tennessee to capture the city of Atlanta, a key railroad and industrial center.
2) After battling Confederate forces led by General Joseph Johnston and John Bell Hood outside Atlanta over the summer, Sherman forced the Confederates to abandon Atlanta in September 1864.
3) In November 1864, Sherman marched his army of 60,000 men unopposed from Atlanta to Savannah, destroying military targets and infrastructure along the way to break Confederate resistance.
3. first battle of bull run
The First Battle of Bull Run was the first major battle of the American Civil War. On July 21, 1861, around 39,000 Union troops marched to Manassas Junction, Virginia to engage some 21,000 Confederate troops in an attempt to capture the vital railroad line. However, the Union forces were inexperienced and undisciplined, while the Confederates received reinforcements. This allowed the Confederates to halt the Union advance and eventually push their forces into a disorganized retreat back to Washington D.C. The battle proved that the war would not be short and ended Northern expectations of a quick victory, and both sides saw they needed extensive training before further combat.

Civil war medicine
Civil War medicine lacked understanding of bacteriology and the causes of disease. Doctors at the time were ignorant of what caused disease and how to prevent its spread or cure illnesses. Overall, Civil War medicine was before advances in understanding disease transmission and treatment.
Ida B. Wells
Ida B. Wells was born into slavery in Holly Springs, Mississippi in 1862. After her friends were lynched, she began investigating and writing about the injustice of lynching. She published pamphlets and books documenting her research on lynching. Wells also organized boycotts and worked as a journalist and newspaper editor, using her writing to advocate for racial justice and equality.
Segregation and Discrimination
After the failures of Reconstruction, racism expanded in the post-Civil War South through practices like sharecropping and voting restrictions, as well as violence from the KKK. Jim Crow laws were enacted to legally enforce segregation in schools and public places, supported by the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court ruling of "separate but equal". While segregation was most extreme in the South, racism was also present in Northern states through job and housing discrimination. Resistance to racism emerged in the late 19th century through early civil rights leaders like Ida B. Wells, Booker T. Washington, and W.E.B. DuBois, though Washington and DuBois differed in their approaches, with Washington advocating

Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection of the lungs that can spread throughout the body. It is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria and is transmitted through the air. While TB can affect anyone, those with weakened immune systems or who live in close contact with infected individuals are most at risk. Symptoms include coughing, fatigue, weight loss and fever. TB is treated with a combination of antibiotics taken for 6-9 months. While curable, TB remains a global epidemic, with the highest rates in Africa and Asia. Efforts by organizations aim to improve treatment access and develop new vaccines and drugs.
Typhoid Fever
Typhoid fever is a life-threatening illness caused by the Salmonella Typhi bacterium. It affects approximately 12.5 million people worldwide each year. The disease is contracted through ingestion of contaminated food or water. Symptoms include sustained high fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation. While antibiotics have reduced the fatality rate to 1-2%, drug-resistant strains are an increasing problem. Vaccines can help prevent infection for those traveling to areas where the disease is common.
War Medicine
The document discusses how the American Red Cross and Army Nurse Corps aided the United States military during World War I. It describes how the 1918 influenza epidemic spread rapidly through military camps and infected many soldiers. Trench warfare conditions in World War I led to diseases like trench fever, trench foot, and shell shock among soldiers. Body lice were rampant in the trenches and helped spread diseases. Military surgeons had to treat many contaminated wounds and developed new techniques like skin grafting and rehabilitation.
Powerpoint Ww1 Flu
- An estimated 50 million people died from the influenza virus that swept the world in 1918, killing more than any other illness in recorded history.
- The virus first appeared in spring 1918 with mild symptoms but returned in fall in a more severe form, as scientists and doctors did not understand why it was spreading so quickly.
- Symptoms were atypical and included hemorrhaging in the lungs, with many victims' lungs filling with fluid and causing suffocation within hours.
- Medicine at the time could not cope with the virus, and while home remedies helped symptoms, there was no cure identified as the virus eventually subsided on its own.
Human health and disease
Human Health and Disease discusses the concepts of health, disease, and factors that influence both. Key points include:
- Health is defined as complete physical, mental, and social well-being, which requires a balanced diet, exercise, shelter, sleep, and hygiene.
- Disease is a disorder of the body or mind that departs from good health, and can be caused by single or multiple factors. Diseases are diagnosed based on their symptoms.
- Diseases are categorized as physical, infectious, acute, or chronic based on their causes and characteristics. Infectious diseases spread pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites between hosts.
Infectious Diseases introduction and history.ppt
This document provides information on infectious diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. It discusses anthrax and plague, both caused by bacteria - anthrax by Bacillus anthracis and plague by Yersinia pestis. It describes the symptoms and transmission of cutaneous, inhalation, and intestinal anthrax as well as bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic plague. It also briefly discusses ebola and smallpox, both viral diseases. The document provides an overview of infectious diseases and the bacteria and viruses that cause them.
Human health and disease
Human health and disease can be affected by many factors. Physical health involves avoiding disease while maintaining overall well-being through good hygiene, diet, exercise and sleep. Disease is any disorder that negatively impacts health and can be caused by infectious pathogens, genetic predispositions or environmental factors. Examples of major diseases discussed include influenza, malaria, cholera, measles, salmonella, gonorrhea, syphilis, tetanus, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and muscular dystrophy.

Tuberculosis | SurgicoMed.com
Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that mainly affects the lungs. It spreads through air droplets when people with active TB cough, sneeze or speak. Symptoms include coughing, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. While TB mainly affects the lungs, it can spread to other organs. There is no cure for latent TB, but active TB can be cured by taking multiple antibiotics for 6-9 months.
The Black Death
The Black Death was a devastating pandemic that originated in China in the 1330s and killed an estimated 30-60% of Europe's population by the late 1340s. Caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, it spread rapidly through trade routes and infected populations with little immunity. There were three main forms: bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic plague. Factors like poor sanitation, war, and famine exacerbated its spread. It disappeared in the late 19th century due to improved hygiene, the spread of the more resistant brown rat replacing the black rat, and the bacterium slowly dying out in human hosts.
Airborne diseases
This document discusses several airborne diseases including tuberculosis, diphtheria, and meningitis. It provides background on the history and transmission of each disease. Tuberculosis is caused by bacteria that can be inhaled from an infected individual. It most commonly affects the lungs. Diphtheria is caused by bacteria that can spread through coughing or sneezing. Meningitis has several causes including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and it inflames the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Prevention of airborne diseases focuses on good hygiene practices like handwashing and covering coughs and sneezes.
Typhoid fever
This document provides an overview of typhoid fever and salmonella species across 13 chapters. It discusses the history, symptoms, transmission, diagnosis and treatment of typhoid fever. It also covers salmonella nomenclature, structure, habitats and identification. Typhoid fever remains an important cause of illness in developing countries, where it is transmitted through ingestion of food or water contaminated by infected feces. Common symptoms include sustained high fever, abdominal pain, and possible complications like intestinal bleeding or perforation. Proper sanitation and antibiotic treatment have reduced typhoid prevalence in developed nations.
Inflammatory diseases
Gangrene is the death of body tissue due to lack of blood supply and oxygen. It is usually caused by infection, vascular disease, or physical trauma that blocks blood flow. There are two main types: dry gangrene involves tissue death without infection, while wet gangrene involves tissue death with infection. Gangrene symptoms include pain, swelling, discoloration and foul odor of the affected area. Risk factors include diabetes, vascular diseases, smoking, obesity, and conditions that weaken the immune system. Diagnosis involves examination of the affected area along with blood tests and imaging studies to determine the cause and extent.
Chagas Disease (American Trypanosomiasis)
The document discusses Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis. It is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The disease was first described in 1909 by Brazilian physician Carlos Chagas. Chagas discovered the organism and infection in humans. The disease affects an estimated 8 million people worldwide and is emerging as an issue in the United States through immigration. Transmission occurs through contact with infected triatomine bugs or blood transfusions. There is no vaccine and treatment is only partially effective in the acute phase of infection.
communicable Diseases
The document provides information about various communicable diseases including Malaria, AIDS, Typhoid, Elephantiasis, Tuberculosis, and Cholera. For each disease, it discusses the causes, symptoms, and methods of prevention. Malaria is spread by mosquitoes and causes shaking chills, fever, and anemia. AIDS is caused by the HIV virus and left untreated can lead to death. Typhoid is caused by Salmonella bacteria and can cause fever, abdominal pain, and rash. Elephantiasis is caused by filarial worms spread through mosquitoes and causes thickened skin. Tuberculosis is a widespread problem that causes cough, weight loss, and fatigue. Cholera, caused
Pulmonary tuberculosis
1. Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which usually affects the lungs. It spreads through the air when people who are sick with TB cough, sneeze or speak.
2. Symptoms include a persistent cough lasting more than two weeks, coughing up blood, weight loss, fever, night sweats and fatigue. Diagnosis involves physical exams, chest x-rays, sputum tests and tuberculosis skin tests.
3. Treatment involves a multi-drug regimen administered by a tuberculosis specialist to prevent drug resistance. Patients are advised to rest at home and cover their mouth when coughing to prevent spreading the disease until treatment has reduced their contagious
Anthrax.pdf
This document provides an overview of anthrax, including its causes, transmission, types, signs and symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis bacteria and can infect both humans and animals. People can get anthrax by coming into contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products. There are several types of anthrax including cutaneous (skin), inhalation, gastrointestinal, and injection. Symptoms vary depending on the type but may include skin sores, fever, cough, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. At-risk groups include those working with animals or animal products. Anthrax is diagnosed through blood tests, tissue samples, or detecting the bacteria or its toxins.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
