The American Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American history.

In,

While no battles were fought within NJ during the Civil War, 88,000 soldiers from NJ were part of infantry and cavalry units. It's said that over 6,000 soldiers from NJ died in the war.

In! Thanks.

And the Civil war was America's bloodiest battle with its most casualties.

I want in please

Fact: The war was about the North (Union) against the South (Confederate)

In and thanks.

Andersonville Prison in southwest Georgia held 33,000 prisoners in 1864. It was the fifth largest city in the Confederacy.

Good point. During Civil War medical treatment standard was really poor. Surgical scalpel and associated equipments were often used on multiple patients without sterilization. Yes, the same scalpel were probably used on 10 patients before being discarded.

even a quick google/wikipedia search would have done wonders for you...

@OP, definitely in

At the beginning of the war, the Union army had just 98 doctors and the Confederate army had only 24. Four years later, some 13,000 doctors had served the Union army and about 4,000 had served the Southern soldiers

"The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought December 11–15, 1862, in and around Fredericksburg, Virginia, between General Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia and the Union Army of the Potomac, commanded by Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside. The Union army's futile frontal assaults on December 13 against entrenched Confederate defenders on the heights behind the city is remembered as one of the most one-sided battles of the American Civil War, with Union casualties more than twice as heavy as those suffered by the Confederates.

Burnside's plan was to cross the Rappahannock River at Fredericksburg in mid-November and race to the Confederate capital of Richmond before Lee's army could stop him. Bureaucratic delays prevented Burnside from receiving the necessary pontoon bridges in time and Lee moved his army to block the crossings. When the Union army was finally able to build its bridges and cross under fire, urban combat resulted in the city on December 11–12. Union troops prepared to assault Confederate defensive positions south of the city and on a strongly fortified ridge just west of the city known as Marye's Heights.

On December 13, the "grand division" of Maj. Gen. William B. Franklin was able to pierce the first defensive line of Confederate Lt. Gen. Stonewall Jackson to the south, but was finally repulsed. Burnside ordered the grand divisions of Maj. Gens. Edwin V. Sumner and Joseph Hooker to make multiple frontal assaults against Lt. Gen. James Longstreet's position on Marye's Heights, all of which were repulsed with heavy losses. On December 15, Burnside withdrew his army, ending another failed Union campaign in the Eastern Theater."
