The Civil War began during medieval medicine's last gasp and ended at the dawn of modern medicine. Each side entered the war with puny squads of physicians trained by textbook, if at all. Four years later, legions of field-tested doctors, well-versed in anatomy, anesthesia and surgical practice, were poised to make great medical leaps.
The nation's first ambulance corps, organized to rush wounded soldiers to battlefront hospitals and using wagons developed and deployed for that purpose, was created during the Civil War. The idea was to collect wounded soldiers from the field, take them to a dressing station and then transport them to the field hospital.
Doctors laid out the hospitals as camps divided into well-defined wards for specific activities such as surgery and convalescence. Women flocked to serve these hospitals as nurses.
Before the war, most people received health care at home. After the war, hospitals adapted from the battlefront model cropped up all over the country. The ambulance and nurses' corps became fixtures, with the Civil War's most famous nurse, Clara Barton, going on to establish the American Red Cross. Today's modern hospital is a direct descendant of these first medical centers.

Philip Nolan was an American who
threatened Spanish rule. He was known as a filibuster (an adventurer who
engaged in a private rebellion against a foreign country). At first he
had permission by the Spanish government to enter Texas. The Spanish
government became suspicious when he began to visit with General James
Wilkinson. General James Wilkinson was the United States army commander
of the American frontier that bordered Spanish Texas. The Spanish
governor feared that Nolan was plotting to take Texas from Spain. The
United States had been interested in Texas as far back as 1803 under
President Thomas Jefferson. The Spanish always had a difficult time
securing their northern borders. The Spanish governor warned Philip
Nolan he would be arrested if he entered Texas again. Nolan ignored the
warnings. Near Waco, Philip Nolan and 17 other men met up with soldiers
near Waco. A fight broke out and Philip Nolan was killed. The men who
were captured were taken to Mexico.
