Describe a time in American history when there was likely a lot of carnage

(Carnage meaning: when a lot of people are living things are killed or injured, especially in a war.)

During the Civil War, there was a lot of carnage. People wouldnsend their sons, husbands, etc. off to war, and never expected them to return. If you were on the battle field, there were so many fatalities and numerous injuries. Soldiers lost limbs, and nurses and doctors would have to try to save them with little supplies and no sterile environment.
