Civil War Chaplain's Museum

Amongst almost 3 million Civil War soldiers, over 600,000 lost their lives defending their notions of freedom and liberty in America. Approximately two-thirds of these soldiers, nonetheless, died from disease rather than wounds received on the battlefield. Lack of efficient medicine and health care caused much more impacting damage, as well as scarce, not up-to-date resources, and social divisions between the soldiers. Typically, an average Civil War soldier could expect to face extreme hardships and difficulties in their wartime lifestyles, including bad weather, unprepared, inappropriate clothing, spreading infections, and tensions regarding race and gender.

“In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.” Ulysses S. Grant said those wise words during his lifetime. Grant was a very hardworking fighting man. He also had a great reputation in the military service. Except he was ranked low on the presidential poll. He was thought to be very straightforward and it didn’t have enough advantages. It only helped by him by keeping the politicians from being corrupt. President Ulysses S. Grant needs the case because he became general for the Civil War, he reconstructed part of the South when he was president, and he wrote an autobiography before he died.

Civil Rights have been the long and dreadful fight against desegregation in many places of the world. Throughout its hard fight many people captured the turmoil that they were faced with by painting, some sculpted, and most photographed. Many reason for this art platform to take place was to create a visual symbol of what we know as the resistance time period. Artist wanted to have the feel of empowerment and most of all feeling liberation. Recently I visit the Savannah Civil right Museum to share some of the major history that was capture in the during the 1960’s time err. The museum was founded by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Civil Rights Movement. It has recently been rename to The Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum to honor Dr. Ralph Mark Gilbert. Each piece in the museum carry’s a huge amount of information that explains the history and the time periods of which it was done. One particular piece that caught my eye was the amazing paint by Jacob Lawrence- Daybreak: A Time to Rest. This art piece is by far one of the best of what I saw at the museum. It tells a story of how Harriet Tubman led many slaves to freedom. Each painting walks you through the time and place of what each movement.

I believe that McPherson put more emphasis on this chapter more than any other chapter because of the overwhelming prevalence of mentioning religious aspects in these diaries and letters. McPherson goes on to say “Civil War armies were, arguably, the most religious in American History” .

Chaplains kept the faith by holding on to the “be, know, do concept between the 1200s and the 1600s AD. Being a practitioner of faith meant applying the rites commanders and the papacy authorized as a mission requirement. Knowing meant priests were to have a thorough knowledge of the rites of penance, mass, final unction, and viaticum. [1] Doing simply meant conducting the

In order for America to evolve with the history, the best option would be to keep the Confederate monuments in the eye of the public only if a supplemental plaque is added since this solution could work in the favor of most of the nation and will be able to satisfy their basic needs. White supremacists have not only spoken about unhesitantly hurting others for wanting to remove these Confederate monuments, but dozens of them have committed to unspeakable crimes of violence to preserve the meaning behind the statues. This is a very complex matter that can be mentally, physically, and economically fatal to the United States’ citizens and the future generations to come. Countless blood-soaked homicidal videos and pictures roam the world wide

In “Letters of a Civil War Nurse”, written in 1863, Cornelia Hancock’s account of the Civil War gives readers an account of the suffering and hardship of soldiers through the point of view of an Union nurse. This document written by Cornelia Hancock is an account as a nurse who went through the Battle of Gettysburg and the after effects. Through a series of letters written to her loved ones, Cornelia wrote what nurses went through during the times of war. At the time women were expected to be good wives; with Cornelia Hancock’s effort she was able to help soldiers and contribute to the idea that women are capable of much more than being good wives; women can be apart of war. With her background as a Quaker and her family history, Cornelia Hancock was able to contribute greatly to the war effort even though she was originally denied to becoming an union nurse.

There is a vast difference between monuments and hospitals — a difference far greater than between the proverbial apple and orange. After all, apples and oranges are both fruits. Hospitals are businesses; monuments are not. (The reason for prohibiting hospitals in one county from operating in another county is to reduce competition and, by that, drive up prices.)

I’m going to talk about the tomb of the unknown soldier in Arlington Cemetery in Virginia. I am also going to talk about the change of the guard.

The role of the clergy was a major part of Civil war propaganda, but it primarily occurred in the context of Lee’s massive conversion policies that inspired men to join his ranks. More so, the North and the South had built many chapels for soldiers to find salvation and inspiration for fighting the war in military life: “Chapels often were built in soldiers’ quarters. In 1864, the Army of Northern Virginia alone boasted 15 chapels. One chapel built by the Army of the Tennessee seated more than 1,000 people.” In this manner, Lee’s

The Civil War began on April 12, 1861 and ended on May 9, 1865, throughout those four years many men lost their lives. Operations during the war played a big role in the mortality rate of soldiers due to the fact that many physicians were not properly trained. “Of the approximately 30,000 amputations performed in the Civil War there was a 26.3-percent mortality rate” (Burns, n.d). At the time, becoming a doctor was no problem; one was expected to only take a few courses at a proprietary medical college and to have had some sort of training with a local physician (Burns, n.d). Many physicians had little to no surgical experience and had never performed a major operation, even dissections (Burns, n.d).

The memory of the Civil War is vital for history and needs to be taught and preserved, so that the current and future citizens of the world can learn from others’ mistakes and take time to remember the lives that were lost.

I want to attend the United States Air Force Academy because I wish to serve my country as a member of the U.S. Air Force in a position of leadership. By attending the Air Force Academy, I can prepare myself to become a valuable addition to the Air Force, while also attaining one of the best educations available. At the academy, I have the opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest that our nation has to offer. Furthermore, access to the newest and most sophisticated equipment and world renown professors would allow me to work with other cadets to create and innovate technology designed to benefit the Air Force and Americans as a whole. At the academy, I can continue to learn and build upon the leadership traits I have developed while balancing and challenging myself by taking honors courses in school, playing varsity athletics, holding two leadership positions in AFJROTC, and working multiple jobs as a lifeguard and swim instructor. Additionally, I can discover and conquer more complex academic and physical challenges that I had only begun to face during my time as a high school student.

The French Revolution (1789-1799) saw an expanding rights discourse for the French Citizen. During this time of instability, many French subjects criticized aristocratic privileges and a lack of political rights for the common citizen. However, at their core, these criticisms typically ignored the status of minorities and typically focused on institutionalizing political rights for the French citizen, a status revolutionaries had seemingly made to be quite exclusive. The purpose of this paper is to examine the social groundwork for the French Revolution and the paradox of the maltreatment of social minorities (namely the Jews). To understand why the maltreatment of Jews in France during the French Revolution was paradoxical in the first place,
