The Wounded

The civil war had to do with the Confederacy (south) and the Union (north). The civil war was mostly about slavery. They fought for the freedom of slavery or to keep slavery. I will also talk some battle strategies and their goals. The Union went into war because there goal was to free slaves. The Union had some advantages to fight the Confederacy. They had more men than the Confederacy did and also had some weapons. With the more men they could cover more ground. The Union liked to get…

over time. These medical practices allowed for the army to be highly successful because they allowed for the wounded to be treated efficiently, and quickly in order to return to the battlefield. The origins of military medicine begin with the basic need for survival. From 300 B.C., which was the begging of the Early Roman Army, until 30 B.C. and the start of Roman Imperial Army the wounded often treated themselves as well as their fallen comrades. As time went on the need for a more centralized…

that he desires he had died right then and there with remains of the Indian meat in his mouth. They leave camp to search for their people. Black Elk's mother is joyful she assumed he was dead. Black Elk wants to seek revenge for the annihilation at Wounded Knee and goes out with a Lakota war party the following day. He recalls his vision and acts like the geese in that dream, diving down on the soldiers with his arms outspread, calling like a goose. He is injured, but wants to go back to…

as if nothing had happened and even tried to hide it in some ways. Not long after the massacre, Wounded Knee, South Dakota was renamed Brennan in hopes of forgetting the past and moving on. For Native Americans though, forgetting was never an option. At the 100-year anniversary, Lakota men gathered together to ride the trail that Chief Big Foot rode to evade the U.S. troops just before the Wounded Knee Massacre occurred. This gathering has continued every year since December of 1990. It is…

came to stop a ceremony later called the Ghost Dance. The horrifying ending to the once proud nation was a culmination of losing the Black Hills and amount of land allotted for reservation use, the expulsion of the Ghost Dance, and the Massacre at Wounded Knee.

Blood stains the lifeless, barren battlefield that is Passchendaele, where just two days ago, 16,000 Canadian soldiers laid dead or wounded. Assigned the task of capturing the ridge from German control, many fell victim to the thick, gluey mud surrounding the ridge. The soldiers fighting at Passchendaele were under constant shellfire and suffered through a torrential downpour of rain. With Passchendaele’s ancient drainage system destroyed, the vast field soon became a flooded, muddy swamp.…

rights were on the rise and the outcome of the war affected so many lives, and if it had ended differently, the world would have been a divergent place. Specific advances in the medical field like new ambulance systems, or systems for transporting the wounded, would be so widespread that they would be used in the early to mid 1900s in World War I and II. The impact of new types of uniforms and the limited amount of protection they provide would be responsible for the amount of injured soldiers,…

those who are in active search for love are in reality looking for a false perception of love, it is interesting to note the attitudes toward people who actively attempt to avoid being wounded by love. Guigemar showed indifference toward love, and while this is because he was aware that he had not yet been truly wounded by love, “He showed no visible interest in love and thus was considered a lost cause by friend and stranger alike” (Marie de France 44). This attitude expressed toward Guigemar…

Mary’s grandfather replied saying that “Wounded knee was a part of her Latoka soul, it’s who she is, if we don’t tell her these things how will she remember; how will she talk to her generation about it?” Mary’s family knew that she was a strong girl who would be able to grow up and be someone…
