I have to do a project on the causes of death during the civil war....
does anyone have any sites or main areas in regards to this subject?
The object of this assingment is to focus on the diseases and stuff like that, more so than the bombs or gunfire, i assume.

Your help is appreciated! Smile

You may want to concentrate on diseases that were present in an army's camp life. (lack of proper sanitation) (lack of proper medical facilities) These are 2 areas that helped spread diseases durnig the Civil War.
