The Civil War presented unique psychological impacts that can still provide valuable insights today. One example, the Government Hospital for the Insane admitted more than 3,000 white Union soldiers, but only 50 black Union soldiers.

It is impossible to ignore that many asylums refused to admit black patients and that black soldiers had little reason to trust the medical community. Presented by Dillon Carroll, PhD.
