Question

if landerss experiences were common to both union and confederate soldiers, which of the following conclusions could be supported by these letters? select all that apply. soldiers worried about their families back home. soldiers stayed dry when it rained. soldiers were too busy to miss their loved ones. soldiers became sick in camp.

Explanation:

1. Soldiers in Civil War camps often wrote letters expressing concern for their families at home, so this is a supported conclusion.
2. Civil War military camps had poor, often wet, living conditions; soldiers rarely stayed dry in rain, so this is not supported.
3. Letters from soldiers frequently included expressions of longing for loved ones, contradicting the claim they were too busy to miss them, so this is not supported.
4. Overcrowded, unsanitary camp conditions led to widespread illness among both Union and Confederate soldiers, which is well-documented in soldier letters, so this is a supported conclusion.

Answer:

• Soldiers worried about their families back home.
• Soldiers became sick in camp.
