- Camp Life
- Hello, My name is Johnny i am a soldier for the Confederacy. The camp life was very rough, we were forced to do severe exercise it was extremely fatiguing In the background of the war we heard the band that was the only thing keeping me going we also heard them when we were training.
- African American Soldiers
- I was paid 10 dollars per month for fighting. Many of my friends and family were used as personal slaves. Others were illegally sold to slavery and shipped out or killed immediately
- Medical Treatment
- My name is Gerald. I was shot i didn't want to go here but they forced me.
- severe physical exercise is so fatiguing little disposition is felt to exercise the mind in anything that is beneficial. Bands were often charged with lifting the spirit of the soldiers. Sometimes bands were ordered to play in the heat of battle to help keep up the morale of the soldiers. They were worked till they were tired and pushed to keep going the band was probably the only part that lifted their spirits
- Diet
- The food here is nasty! I hate the food here the bread is teeth breaking hard.
- Many African-American prisoners of war were immediately killed or illegally shipped into slavery in the South. Many officers used their personal slaves as orderlies and cooks, other African-American southerners were used as construction workers building fortifications, bridges, and trenches Until 1865, black soldiers were paid $10 per month, $3 less than white soldiers.
- Prisoner of War Camps
- Disease took more lives than did battle wounds. Often the surgeons amputated arms and legs simply because they were too understaffed and under supplied to offer better treatment. Before the discovery of anesthesia, wounded soldiers who underwent surgery did so while fully awake Many patients died from the shock of surgery, others killed themselves rather than submit to the agony." Our hospitals are so bad that the men fight against being sent to them. I really believe they are more comfortable and better cared for in camp than in the hospital.”
- Battles
- Union troops were given beans, bacon, pickled beef—called “salt horse” by the men—dried, compressed mixed vegetables, a cake that made a thin soup when crumbled into boiling water, and hardtack—square flour-and-water biscuits so hard, some said, that they could stop bullets. Hardtack consisted of flour and water fried in grease. Nine biscuits was the daily ration. Often the biscuits were too hard to bite and had to be soaked in coffee.
- One of the worst features of the Civil War was the prison system. More than 50,000 men died in prison camps; the number was about the same for North and South. Food was in short supply, too: As there was very little currency...tobacco, rats, pickles, pork and light bread were mediums of exchanges. Five chews of tobacco would buy a rat, a rat would buy five chews of tobacco, a loaf of bread would buy a rat, a rat would buy a loaf of bread.
- Soldiers soon discovered the horrors of combat. Flying bullets, exploding shells, and close contact with death made clear the soldiers’ true mission. For many, the battle experience inspired an intense hatred for the enemy, turning the war into a grim exercise in revenge
