Extractions: Anyone who has visited Worcester Commandery recently will have seen the animated life-size display depicting the death of the Duke of Hamilton. The common soldier in the diorama, tending the wounded Hamilton, represents an Essex man. The troops who took Fort Royal were not New Model regulars, but part-time soldiers from the Essex Trained Bands. Surprisingly - not least because such provincial militias have habitually been portrayed by Civil War historians as models of cowardly incompetence - the Trained Bands engaged at Worcester fought particularly well. To a certain extent, seventeenth-century provincial militia deserved their slovenly reputation. The Trained Bands were part-time soldiers normally used within their native county to curb civil disorder and to guard against foreign invasion. In practice, weapons and drill were often neglected, and attendance at musters falsified by corrupt or incompetent officials. Essex's Trained Bands were by no means free of such problems, although they appear to have been better than most, and were reasonably well-clothed and armed.

Search our Civil War Manuscripts or the web powered by FreeFind Site search Web search A-B C D E-F ... Comments Introduction This Project is an attempt to create detailed access to the rich Civil War manuscript holdings of the Library of The Connecticut Historical Society. The collections presented herein have been examined item by item and word for word over a period of more than four years. The manuscripts card catalog has been searched extensively for potential Civil War materials within collections which were incompletely processed or which were not subject to modern standards of analytic cataloging methodology. In addition, we plan to conduct a manual inventory of all our manuscript holdings in an attempt to detect materials which might otherwise fall through the cracks. Corresponding detailed examinations for many of the collections are being prepared. These collection examinations will offer complete transcriptions, itemized content analysis, genealogical or biographical information, anecdotes, quotations, excerpts, etc. The result, we hope, will be both a sophisticated research tool for historians and scholars as well as an enjoyable resource for the more casual browser.

History Of African-American Newspapers A project of The Reflector Newspaper, this page overviews the history and influence of blackrun newspapers from before the civil war to the present. http://cti.itc.virginia.edu/~aas405a/newspaper.html
Extractions: African-American newspapers came into existence before the Civil War as a medium of expression of abolitionist sentiment. In 1827, Samuel Cornish and John B. Russwarm started the first African-American periodical, called Freedom's Journal . Freedom's Journal initiated the trend of African-American papers throughout the United States to fight for liberation and rights, demonstrate racial pride, and inform readers of events affecting the African-American community. Unfortunately, because the African-Americans able to support the paper and the white abolitionists were few, the paper ended its circulation in 1830. Also, during the antebellum South, other African-American newspapers came about. One of these, the North Star, founded by Frederick Douglass, had the same fate as Freedom's Journal . As African-Americans migrated from fields to urban centers, virtually every large city with a significant African-American population soon had African-American newspapers. Examples were the Chicago Defender, Detroit Tribune, the Pittsburgh Courier, and the (New York) Amsterdam News. While it was certainly important for African-American newspapers to report the news of the day, it was not their primary purpose. Most cities already had daily newspapers that were aimed to the general public. The idea of an African-American newspaper was to give African-Americans the news through the lens of their own eyes. From an economic perspective, African-American newspapers were formed in order to make a profit. According to a study of early African-American newspapers, the "primary motivation" of African-American newspaper proprietors was "not uplift, but profit." In addition, from a social standpoint, these newspapers were a source of pride for the African-American community and a focal point for African-Americans to stick together and fight the constant oppression they were under. Taking this into account, it seems apparent that it was most beneficial for African-American newspaper editors to be motivated by both uplift and profit.

Myers, Florida Indexed List of All Topics Special search of this site using Google Articles on Collecting, Identification, and Photos of Surgical Sets The heyday of American-made surgical instruments was from the 1840's to the 1890's and centered in the New York and Philadelphia areas. Prior to that time, and after 1900, most surgical instruments were made in Europe and imported to this country. This web site is about American made antique surgical sets and Civil War surgery. 1870 is when sterilization began and cased sets changed drastically afterwards to allow for sterilization of the various parts of the instruments. After 1890, the handles of the instruments were in general no longer made of ivory, wood, or other porous materials that could not stand up to chemical and heat treatments, thus the trend to use all metal instruments after that point in America.

NMCWM Exhibits Many soldiers had never been exposed to childhood diseases such as small pox, mumps and measles. This lack of immunity caused whole training camps to be under bacterial siege. http://www.civilwarmed.org/exhibits.htm
Extractions: In October of 2000, the National Museum of Civil War Medicine completed a 3 million dollar renovation and complete redesign of the exhibits. With nearly 7,000 square feet of exhibit space on two floors, the expanded Museum can better illustrate the medical story of the American Civil War. It is a story of care and healing, courage and devotion amidst the death and destruction of war. It is also a story of major advances that changed medicine forever. Through the dedication, innovation and devotion of Civil War surgeons and medical support staff on both sides of the conflict, the foundation for today's modern military medicine was laid. Their tenacity and compassion to heal stemmed a death rate that could have easily been twice the 620,000. Throughout the exhibits are special blue panels that highlight the military career of Union Private Peleg Bradford. In his own words, Bradford tells us his thoughts on the war, the condition of his regiment and the effect his enlistment had on the family he left behind. As the Civil War began, the practice of medicine was emerging from the "heroic era", with its theory of bringing a balance to the humors of the body. Medical practitioners had no knowledge of germ theory or antiseptic practices. Both discoveries were still years away. Over 40 medical schools existed in America before the war, and apprenticeships with established physicians were also common. The usual course of study in a medical school consisted of two terms of six-month lectures, with the second term often being a repeat of the first. Featured objects in this gallery include medical school documents, teaching models, and mid-nineteenth century medical instruments.

Extractions: eHistory > American Civil War Search Members Articles Battles ... Timeline From April 1861 to April 1865, a brutal civil war was fought between the Confederate States of America and the United States of America. The American Civil War is one of the most researched conflicts in modern history, yet many people still desire more knowledge about it. The roots of this tragic conflict go back to the birth of the country. The founding fathers, for all their wisdom, could not solve all the differences between the original thirteen states. The products of their labors, the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, failed to totally define the relationship between the Federal Government and the States. The slavery question received no more than a partial and temporary solution. These issues of states' rights festered and the rhetoric inside the Congress grew more heated. Finally, words were no longer enough for some and the nation began to split apart. The secession of eleven Southern States and the unbending position of President Lincoln toward preserving the Union led to the first shot fired on Fort Sumter in 1861. The Rubicon had been crossed. The next four years can only be described as an intensely fought conflict between two groups of Americans, each believing their cause was just. Over
