Drenched in Dirt and Drowned in Abominations: Insects and the Civil War
Abstract
Human history has recorded innumerable conflicts. The massing of humanity, poor sanitary conditions, and disease are among the many factors that take their toll during wars. However, the role that insects play in these conditions has often been overlooked by historians, despite the pivotal role that insects have played. The American Civil War (1861-1865) was not exempt from the influence of insects.
