If ether wasn't available (and a lot of times it wasn't) they'd take a good pull of liquor and have people hold them down.
The phrase "bite the bullet" started because they'd actually do that- people tended to bite their own tongues off otherwise.

People were a lot stronger in those days.

How long before we get a Dunkirk/1917-type movie for Gettysburg?

No they weren't, retard.

>Americans actually did sick shit like this all because of cotton.
whew

Shut up faggot

No, it was about freedom. But you wouldn't get that Eurpoor or pajeet, would u?

American healthcare system in action, ladies and gentlemen.

>Freedom to pick cotton
LMFAO

Have you seen the size of the ammunition they used? It completely splintered the bones in arms and legs. There was often no way to repair that sort of damage.

Freedom to pick your TV loicence

American revolutionary war was about independence, civil war was about anything but.

Hows the high taxes and having to ask government permission to post online cuck

I dunno ask california.

orthopedics wasn't very advanced at the time

will the South rise again?

I have no trouble paying high taxes when i know it goes to other people of my ethnicity and those taxes make my country have higher general living standards than USA.

The crazy thing about Civil War doctors is that you couldn't arrest them because they technically didn't do anything illegal.

They say that american civil war was the first large modern war, why? It was just a war inside one nation instead of multiple ones like WW1 and 2. I still don’t even get what made them go to war, it’s not like it was socialism versus nationalism like european civil wars of the time.

that opening battle was fucking nuts, probably the best depiction we'll get in terms of the absolute chaos of it all

Imagine getting hit by this thing.

A lot of the time it was because the ball had fragmented the bone. Which would kill you. I had a doctor explain it to me once, but I am a little hazy on the details. IIRC, the marrow basically releases a bunch of potassium into your blood stream and just BTFO's your kidneys, liver, and heart.

>I know it goes to other people of my ethnicity
lol are you somali or something?

The Union had early anesthetic, the Confederates ran out early in the war. Being a Confederate doctor would have been rough.

Is postin basedjaks how you cope living in a developing nation, zoomer?

Family acquaintance of mine was working in silicon valley for a few years as a software engineer or something and he pulled 200k a year which was three times what he made back home in europe and you know what?
He paid as much taxes but he got way, way less in return. Everything meaningful was 2-3 times more pricy, no public services, healthcare was not better just more expensive, overall he realized he was much better off and arguably had more Freedom back home so he came back.

They used really big (.58 caliber), low velocity, soft-lead bullets. When they hit bone they would typically shatter them.

Plus the rounds usually didn't have enough velocity to go through several layers of clothing and an entire person. So it all got stuck in there with whatever I knocked loose for hours since people didn't get fast first aid during long battles.

this, combined with a level of casualties that was absolutely unprecedented up to that point in time, meant that what few trained medical providers the military could muster were overwhelmed with almost no time to attempt surgery.

cope harder mutt ywn experience racial purity

Whiter than you Muhammad. I have blue eyes.

Are you lost?

Glory's the only good one.

There should be a movie about Nathan Bedford Forrest but that will never get made, except with him being the villain

Have you got your ebt yet?

I know there's a lot of factors at play, and a lower velocity can ensure that all the kinetic energy is transferred to soft tissue, but wouldn't higher velocity be more like to just cause that sort of catastrophic "explosive" shatter on hard targets and also a huge exit wound even though there's a pin prick entry point.

I suppose there's many "curves" overlapping and a lot of factors that influence each other destructively and constructively in their overlap

There are medical articles about that.

>In the present study, the Minié ball caused more disruption of ordnance gelatin with both permanent and temporary cavity over the depth of penetration associated with a thigh and torso. The permanent cavity represents the area touched by the projectile as it passes through. For soft tissue with an intact vascular supply, the amount of tissue damage is proportional to the size of the projectile. The temporary cavity is a transient lateral displacement of tissue. Elastic tissue, such as skeletal muscle, may be pushed aside and bruised. Tissue in this area should heal up uneventfully. Inelastic tissue, such as bone or liver, may become fractured by this mechanism. Both the permanent and temporary cavity measurements were significantly larger through the first 30 cm with the Minié balls when compared to the rifl e, despite a near doubling of muzzle velocity seen with the Krag-Jorgenson rifle.

I mean theoretically with sufficient time and equipment one could clean the wound up and stabilize without amputation, however that's not taking into account post-surgery factors like checking for infection and the physical training necessary to regain use of the appendage after such a level of trauma.
Of course there are a lot of variables, but just off the top of my head without having to look through sources I can confidently say that the prevailing doctrine in military medicine at the time was that it was more acceptable to amputate en masse to more easily stabilize more casualties than to only treat a much smaller number for surgery

No I get why you amputate, but was under the impression that because low velocity "bullets (?)" don't pass through that they would fragment and scatter pieces of foreign material into the wounds, that gangrene or infection was guaranteed. I didn't realise that the larger projectile seemed to be in the sweet spot of many interacting force to cause internals to get mulched to the point of irreversible damage.

Southerners would rather die than admit that blacks were fully human.

>however that's not taking into account post-surgery factors like checking for infection and the physical training necessary to regain use of the appendage after such a level of trauma.

also most of the battles were fought in the South in the Summer with lots and lots of horse shit around.

There should be a movie based on General Sickles
>while a New York state assemblyman he brought a known prostitute to the Assembly while his pregnant wife was at home
>his wife cheated on him with a man named Phillip Barton Key II, the son of Francis Scott Key
>In Lafayette Square, across the street from the White House, Sickles shot and killed Key in the middle of the day in front of stunned passersby
>became one of the first people in American history to successfully argue temporary insanity and was acquitted
>joined the Union as a colonel due to his previous experiences in the army
>at the Battle of Gettysburg he refused to abide by Union orders to hold the line back at the Round Top Hills and instead ventured his unit into the cornfield, creating a notorious bulge that threatened the integrity of the Union line
>when his bulge broke Confederate units almost destroyed the Union flank but he was able to rebuff them long enough to get reinforcements
>during the fighting he was hit in the leg with a cannonball and had to have it amputated
>his men reported that their last sight of Sickles on his way to having his leg amputated was seeing him sitting up on a stretcher smoking a cigar and joking with his men
>continued as a colonel under Meade throughout the remainder of the war despite having only one leg
>donated his amputated leg to the National Museum of Health and Medicine and visited his leg on the anniversary of his amputation every year until his death

there were so few actual doctors in the civil war that 99% of the time, the person treating you or sawing your limbs off ... was a butcher, a woodcutter, or anyone else who had even a little experience with sawing tools. Also because the wait was so long, most guys just writhed around in pain for days, sometimes on the battlfield.

to answer the question though, Glory is the best civil war movie, hands down. not eve close

how do we deal with this kinda shit nowadays?

Bro, the civil war ended over 100 years ago.

The one where some Confederate troops travel in time to Amsterdam 1944 and save pregnant Anne Frank.
