Around 3 million men fought in the Civil War. As many as one third of these soldiers died or were injured in battle. Even for those who escaped without injury, the war exacted a tremendous cost. Soldiers had to leave their homes and families for up to four years while enduring numerous hardships.

If African Americans were caught trying to flee, Union commanders would have to choose what to do with the slaves. This is because there was no government policies put in place. Some would return the slaves to their owners, some would keep them out of Union camps and others would pay slaves for them to do non-combat work such as cooking, carpenters, guides, and drivers. This impacted the African Americans by not letting them flee or be free/escape.

Civil war Soldiers went through a lot of hard times, but also had much free time on their hands. When they were involved in a battle it was often a bloody, gory battle. The doctors that helped the soldiers out on the field were not aware of sanitary measures so many times soldiers died from disease more often than injury. When soldiers were not on the battle field they had to find pastimes to keep busy. Reading and writing were popular pastimes, as well as playing cards, baseball, and most of all music.
