When was trench foot named and why?
Trench foot got its name because during World War I many of the soldiers who fought in the trenches got trench foot because of the constantly damp conditions of their shoes in the trenches.It is not known exactly when or where the disease was given it's apt name but I'd imagine it was just a general term used by the soldiers that it was eventually accepted as it's name. The proper name of Trench Foot, however, is 'immersion foot'.
Where did people get buried when they died in the civil war?
Yes. Most Civil War soldiers were burried in mass graves. These mass graves were simply hastily dug trenches, maybe 4-5 feet deep at the maximum. The dead were then cast into these trenches and covered with soil. Mass graves were typically left unmarked, or if they were marked, very little information was left, basically leaving the dead soldiers as 'anonymous'. Some soldiers had the priveledge of being given a proper burial, but they were in the minority. After a major battle resulting in thousands of deaths, the main objective was not to mark who exactly had died, but to simply dispose of the bodies and move on.

Was the trenches significant in the war?
The trenches allowed men to be protected while fighting in the war. Being out of sight from the opposing country significantly increased their chances of surviving. The trenches were also designed focusing on air shooting. This meant they created a design that would also protect them from a plane shooting at them. Without the trenches all of the men would have been killed, and they wouldn't have been given a chance to fight. so yes. the trenches were VERY significant in the war.
