How did the Civil War contribute to a greater awareness of the effects of epidemic disease?
Many Civil War soldiers had infectious diseases and many died from the contraction of an infectious disease, not from war wounds. Appalling sanitary conditions on the battlefield as well as in prisoner-of-war camps resulted in two thirds of the 360,000 Union soldier deaths caused by infectious diseases. This war-related health issue led to increased awareness of infectious diseases within the United States and efforts to improve sanitation.
