The Civil War Times
Powerpoint presented by:
Kierstin Martin & Jacob laughman
The Battle of Gettysburg!
The Battle of Gettysburg Was a
battle fought between the
Confederates and the Union.
The Confederates were the
Southerners (the slave people)
& The Union Northeners (Nonslave people.)
Bodies were on practically
every surface area of land.
Prisoners of War!
The Prisoners were held
captive to practically rot.
Over 80% were
mistreated and
neglected. Bodies caved
in, and walking zombie
figures were left to die.
Prisoners were barely fed.
Take Notes!
Prisoners!
• Handicapped by deteriorating
economic conditions. The
Confederates lacked the necessary
materials and amounts of food for
10,000 prisoners, not to mention
the 26,000 that were confined there
by June 1864.
As a result…

ROTTING BODIES!
Conditions during Civil War life..
• The union and confederate armies were
horridly raised, badly organized, poorly
trained, inadequately fed, clothed and
housed, and almost wholly without
comforts, sports, entertainments or
proper medical care.
We can’t all get fed

Endured Unnecessary
Hardships..
• Heavy woolen clothing in the summertime, for example, or
leaky tents or maggoty food– but they managed to enjoy
themselves indulged in rough sports, and floor play, fixed up
winter quarters with “all the comforts of home,” sang
romantic songs, enjoyed religious services and revivals, and
generally acted like civilians at a picnic– when enemies
permitted!

 Presence of Death: 
•
The crude death rate in the antebellum period was around (15 per 1,000 in rural
areas, and
between 20 and 40 per 1,000 in more popular cities.
Andersonville Prison..
• Although some prison commanders on both sides were
deliberately cruel and vindictive to those in their charge,
the conditions were due to circumstances and poor
planning!
• The two gentleman (prisoner commanders) came to an
agreement that prisoners were not allowed to return to
fighting until they had been officially exchanged!
•
Andersonville Prison
Northerners were horrified when they saw
the prisoners that were bony, and Skeltonlike. Many people clam conditions at
Andersonville were a cruel conspiracy
against Northern soldiers. Andersonville
was feared by all prisoners. (Known to be
a treacherous place! The reality of prison
camps on both sides were poorly
managed, horrendously over-crowded and
disease-ridden.
Black Union Soldiers!
• The confederacy
refused to
acknowledge black
union soldiers, and
their white
commanders as
prisoners of war.
Calling the black
men, “rebel slaves!”
As, “rebel slaved,”
African American
prisoners of war
were subject to
harsh punishment &
even execution!
