Suggestion on Gettysburg Address

Hello Xoe, As a microbiologist and huge Civil War buff I greatly enjoyed your article on infectious diseases during the war. However, one thing you may want to changes relates to the Gettysburg Address. It was given on Nov 18, 1863 and not after the war. Indeed, Lincoln was killed before the war ever ended. Other than that, I thought your article was well written, interesting and informative. Kind regards. John Pisciotta

The Civil War and Disease

The North, in the Civil War had implemented, largely through volunteer efforts, \\"Sanitary\\" methods that had been popularized by Florence Nightingale of Crimean War fame. These methods, and new and innovative methods greatly reduced the effects of disease in the Civil War from previous wars. The effects of disease were still much greater than battlefield fatalities.
