Typical Civil War hospital

t
This is a picture of a typical hospital during the Civil War. Most of the time the hospitals were a table with a couple candles in a tent. Sometimes the doctors were just regular soldiers because there were so many wounded people. Half of the time the doctors did not disinfect their tools, so even more people ended up with infections.

This is a portate of Washingtom Carver who invented about 300 peanut products so the economy would not fall for poor farmers.

Invention of the USS Monitor

The USS Monitor was made in amazing 100 days. At first John Ericsson inventor of the USS Monitor, did not want to build a ship for the USA. But was later forced by officials to create a ship. When John Ericsson presented his planes for armored ship people were ecstatic, nobody ever before had thought of it. The finished date of the USS Monitor was March 6th 1862. The picture is of a monument of John Ericsson in Battery park, NYC. (John Ericsson July 31st 1803, March 8th 1889.)
