THE DEATHS DURING THE U.S. & MEXICAN WAR

During the war, the United States and Mexico would get into dozens of conflicts, which then ended up to losing up to 38,000 soldiers, and only about 1,700 U.S. deaths were directly battle-related, then the rest came from disease which they caught in the U.S. camps. This was interesting because a lot of poeple were dying form just diseases and fewer were dying from fighting in the war which I saw was kind of unusual.
