What is needed before or after the date listed below, a dash or a parentheses or is it correct? I think parentheses because it is loosely related to the sentence?

During the Civil War 1861-1865, however, Barton performed another important national service.



Also, what about around measles, smallpox, and typhoid in the following sentence:

More soldiers dies of disease measles, smallpox, and typhoid than dies of hostile gunfire.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Both are correct.

However, it should be die in the second sentence, not dies.

So, on the last one a parentheses and not a dash?

What about this one,

I'm not kidding women were not supposed to travel on their own.

I think dash because it is an abrupt break in thought?
Answered by Ms. Sue

I agree with the dash for your last sentence.

Okay just a few more please.

What about around including a letter to President Lincoln in this sentence? I think parentheses since closely related?

Pressure on the U.S. War Department including a letter to President Lincoln led to her being given an office for her work.

what about around including many in a famous prison in this sentence? I think dash, an abrupt change in thought.

Over time she and her staff were able to find about 22,000 missing soldiers, including many in a famous prison.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. I agree about parentheses around
"including a letter to President Lincoln".

The second sentence is correct as is.
