Answer: Organized, spiritual guidance was provided to the troops through chaplains.
Explanation:
Military chaplains, who were clergymen of many faiths and denominations, provided a necessary religious service, in both Union and Confederate troops during the Civil War. Religion was important, as the country was going through the Third Great Awakening.
Most chaplains were protestant preachers, but there were also Catholic priests and Jewish rabbis. They provided moral and spiritual guidance to soldiers that were facing violence and death on the battlefield regardless of their religious ideas.
