Why did two-thirds of Civil War soldiers die from disease or infection?

Army camps were extremely dirty, and food supplies were inadequate.

Most available antibiotics were being used to treat enslaved workers.

Doctors were plentiful but specialized in the wrong medical fields.

Armies tended to be small, so battles did not create many casualties.

Unionists faced danger, especially if they tried to avoid being forced into service by the Conscription Act. In August 1862, a large group of German settlers was caught as it attempted to flee to Mexico. Confederate cavalry caught up with the settlers and killed many in a fight near the Nueces River. Other Unionists tried to escape conscription by hiding. Some were arrested. Others were forced to join the Confederate Army, and still others were killed by vigilante groups. These groups were citizens who took the law into their own hands. Some vigilante groups had the approval of local authorities. Vigilantes often hanged Unionists without a trial. For example, in 1862 about 40 suspected Unionists were hanged in Gainesville. —Texas History According to the excerpt, which of the following statements about Southern vigilante groups is accurate?

Why was Andrew Jackson Hamilton, the provisional governor of Texas after the Civil War, considered a hero in the North and a traitor in the South?

Andrew Jackson Hamilton was considered by the North to be a hero. Before the Civil War, Hamilton served in the U.S. House of Representatives and in the Texas legislature. Like Sam Houston, he refused to join the rebels, whom he viewed as traitors. He thought slavery was wrong, and he was willing to speak out about that position. When his life was threatened because he supported the United States during the war, he fled to Mexico. In the South, he was considered a traitor because he had served in Texas government, but later he spoke out in support of the opposing side—the North.

Summarize the role of Texas women in the Civil War.

Women and enslaved workers (both men and women) did most of the farmwork during the war, so they produced most of the food in Texas. In addition, women had to perform their own household chores, so they worked doubly hard. Women played a role in nursing the sick and taking care of the wounded. Women also had to produce the basic supplies for the army and the state. In Austin, ladies formed a group to sew uniforms and other items for soldiers

Discuss the reasons why Texas seceded from the United States in 1861.

The issue of slavery greatly divided Texas from the Northern states. The economy of Texas, and most of the South, was based on plantation agriculture. Enslaved workers were a key element to the Southern way of life. If slavery ended, many Texans feared that their way of life would end as well. Many Texans believed that if Republicans gained control of the government, they would end slavery. In addition, the Republican Party favored raising tariffs on imported goods. This would benefit Northern industry but would hurt Southern imports of goods. Many Texans were opposed to high tariffs. Some Southern leaders argued for states’ rights, which was the idea that states had the right not to follow laws passed by Congress with which they disagreed, such as a tariff law. These three fundamental issues led to the decision for Texas to secede.
