Welcome to Episode 5 of The Civil Weird Podcast, where we'll be exploring the dark and taboo side of the American Civil War - sex, prostitution, and disease. During this period, soldiers were constantly exposed to new and dangerous sexually transmitted infections, and prostitution became a thriving industry, often operating right under the noses of military officials.We'll delve into the reasons why prostitution was so prevalent during the war, the conditions under which it operated, and the lives of the women who worked in this dangerous profession.
