A common medical kit during the Civil War would include scissors, gauze, and needles. The people injured were classified into slightly wounded, mortally wounded and cases were surgery was required. These cases were taken to nearby hospitals outside the battlefield. The tools used by surgeons usually include surgical scalpels, long forceps for bullet extraction, bone-holding forceps, an amputation saw, curved scissors, tourniquet, and an amputation knife. Also, like anesthetics, on one hand, whiskey and morphine were used to relieve the pain of the injured in the battlefield. On the other hand, chloroform or ether was administered to patients before amputations.  

The difficulties faced by caregivers and patients during the Civil War were tremendous. To begin with, the medical practices of the time were not up to cup with the injuries and diseases caused by the war. Diseases such as pneumonia, dysentery, gangrene, and tuberculosis spread through the medical tents placed in the outskirts of the battles. On top of that, the patients and caregivers would have to face degrading sanitary conditions that only worsen the recovery process. Eventually, this would be the cause of death for two-thirds of the approximately 620.000 casualties of the war.

The correct answer is: "The development of symmetry and balance in architecture"

Ancient Greek architecture is distinguished by its highly standardized features, both in structure and decoration. This is particularly true in the case of temples where each building seems to have been conceived as a sculptural entity within the landscape, most often raised on a high ground so that the elegance of its proportions and the effects of light on its surfaces can See yourself from all angles.

The architecture of Ancient Rome emerged from that of Greece and maintained its influence in Italy uninterrupted to this day. From the Renaissance, revivals of classicism have kept alive not only the precise forms and ordered the details of Greek architecture, but also their concept of architectural beauty based on balance and proportion. The successive styles of Renaissance architecture and neoclassical architecture followed and adapted ancient Greek styles more or less faithfully.
