Once the gangrene set in, I knew it was over | The American Civil War

Подробнее о видео

Gangrene was a major killer in the American Civil War, caused by infections in wounds from battle. Without proper sanitation or antibiotics, soldiers faced high risks of gangrene after injuries. The condition led to tissue death, turning wounds black and emitting a foul smell. Civil War doctors often performed amputations to prevent gangrene from spreading, but many soldiers still died from it. Poor hygiene, contaminated medical tools, and lack of knowledge about germs made gangrene deadly. The Civil War saw thousands of gangrene cases, making it one of the most feared complications on the battlefield, causing immense suffering and death.
