Innovations during the Civil War

The link below will take you to an interesting site which details a few of the innovations brought about by the Civil War. As most of us are aware there were more U.S. deaths resulting from the Civil War than the total United States deaths occurring in WWI, WWII and the Korean Conflict.

A majority of the Civil War deaths occurred from disease in various camps of both the Yankee and Confederate camps than from wounds received in combat because of the lack of modern medical knowledge. Many soldiers died in hospitals from infectious disease while being treated for their battlefield wounds and not from deaths that occurred on the battlefield.
