This may come as a shock to you, buy following the civil war lots and lots of CW veterans become drug addicts to deal with the pain of their war injuries.

The Civil War (1861-1865) has long been blamed as the catalyst for the spread of drug addiction in America.

I’ve read many volumes of history pertaining to the CW but I’ve never seen that mentioned. Thanks for sharing (if true!).
