One hardship that was not commonly faced by soldiers in the Civil War was a lack of access to communication with their families. While letters were often delayed and could take time to reach their destinations, the ability to send and receive letters was prevalent. In contrast, soldiers frequently dealt with inadequate supplies, harsh living conditions, and the constant threat of illness and injury. Thus, communication, though challenging, was not among the primary hardships.
Daily life for soldiers during the Civil War was often grueling and unpredictable. They faced harsh conditions in camps, including inadequate food, unsanitary living situations, and exposure to the elements. Soldiers spent long hours drilling, maintaining their weapons, and preparing for battle, interspersed with moments of boredom or anxiety. Communication with family was limited, and many struggled with the psychological toll of war, including the constant threat of injury or death.
