took care of the home, farm, and children. They
also were spies and nurses.
• The life of a soldier was tough and a test of their
strength. Years away from home, inadequate food
and shelter, disease, hot summers and cold
winters.
• The soldiers called the tents they lived in “dog”
tents.
• The drums were a major part of the war. From
wake up calls, to breakfast calls, to drill calls.
• The amount of baggage the soldiers carried varied.
A Southern soldier typically carried less then a
Northern soldier. This is because the Southern
soldier didn’t have as much available to him.
