“[Ewell] had lost a leg at Manassas and had just recently returned to the army, and he was standing awkwardly balancing himself against the unfamiliar leg… swaying nervously, clutching a fencepost,” (Shaara, 224). He is missing part of his leg, and explains that a minie ball hit his leg “just below the jointed knee” (Shaara, 225); back in the day minie balls were used and could shatter bone, so doctors would render the wound untreatable and amputate the limb it hit. Amputations were very common and done with anesthesia, which was recently made at the time; sometimes they didn’t use it when amputations occurred. When James Longstreet, a lieutenant general, is riding off back to the camp after the first day of the battle, he sees a wagon with many limbs in it. “[Longstreet] passed by a hospital wagon, saw mounded limbs glowing whitely in the dark, a pile of legs, another of arms.

Amputation which often on the battlefield did save lives, because a crushed foot or arm would always lead to a fatal systemic infection, so it was simpler to cut it off other than to try and save it. Having to work very quickly, a very skilled surgeon would cut through the flesh that was saw completely through the bone and apply a piping red hot iron to fix off the stump’s raw surface and stop the bleeding of the cut. Sometimes the entire operation was performed in less than two minutes. By having a limb amputated the mortality risk was about fifty percent. But even with a fifty-fifty chance of living after this surgery was a better chance that most received, because if the person didn’t receive treatment they would most definitely die.

Diseases such as smallpox, measles, and syphilis were being spread out across the globe, due to the new interaction of people from different areas of origin. With the Columbian Exchange in full force, the new worlds were coming in contact which changed the lives of the everyday people. The diseases were caused by interaction with bodies of people who were not immune to the certain bacteria. The Americas were hardly hit, for no one knew of it, while they already were all in contact with each other already (Asia, Europe, Africa). None of the Native Americans were expecting such a hit of diseases.
The first reason I will not re-enlis is there is lots of diseases like smallpox, pneumonia, putrid fever (typhoid or typhus), dysentery, and hypothermia.
Why diseases affected the natives the most because of their little to no resistance against the old world diseases as they have never seen or encountered them before and they had no immunity to them. The Columbian exchange was named after the Explorer Christopher Columbus who is mistaken as a Spanish explorer which is not true. He is an Italian
