One of the things I learned last week is that young citizens were FIGHTING in the civil war. I found this very interesting and I wonder if somewhere in the world if this still can happen, but I believe that these people chose to fight because they knew freedom and American values were at risk.

What I recall is that drummer boys wanted to enlist in the wars and some ran away from home to do so. They also helped the people by carrying bodies and severd limbs of dead troops. They also lead the war with there drums kind of a Secrect code for telling people what to do. And I'm pretty sure the age range was mostly 7 -15 years old

The drummer boys would help communicate in battle. They would make specific beats and drown out the noise of the battlefield. In some cases, they would help surgeons with amputations. They would even carry away the bodies. The boys were very young (around the ages of 9-15). It was a very dangerous job with a high risk of death.

I remember the fact that they helped being a medic on the battlefield almost like an apprentice. Another thing that I remember is that they communicated with their drums, this made it easier to communicate because the other soldiers couldn't understand what they were saying so they couldn't decide the plan. They also had to endure the harsh training and a lot of memorization of all the beats for the drums and how to be a medic. Something else that happened to them is that they had to endure a lot of trauma and Ptsd after the war
