During the American Civil War, malaria was primarily treated with quinine, derived from the bark of the cinchona tree, which was known for its effectiveness in reducing fever and controlling symptoms. Other treatments included supportive care, such as rest and hydration, as well as various herbal remedies, though their efficacy was often unproven. Medical understanding of malaria was limited, leading to a reliance on trial and error in treatment approaches. Additionally, prevention strategies focused on reducing exposure to mosquitoes, such as draining swamps and using mosquito nets.

Fairly well, but if taken as a POW they were treated harshly. Andersonville was a confederate prisoner of war camp in the final12 months of the civil war. War crimes were committed in this prison of union soldiers. They had lack of food, water, and lived in unsanitary conditions. Of the 45,000 men held there nearly 13,000 died from scurvy, diarrhea, and dysentery.
