War brings deadlier weapons and primitive medical care, leading to disease and lack of basics like food and shelter. Boredom and continuous activity are common, along with opposition to the draft, riots, and suspension of Habeas Corpus. In the South, weak government and shortages prevail, while the North faces inflation, income tax, and production boosts. Nurses like Barton and Tompkins play crucial roles on the home front, raising funds, making supplies, and serving as soldiers and spies.
