During which conflict did the Loblolly Boys serve?

The Loblolly Boys served during the Quasi-War with France, which took place from 1798 to 1800. This conflict was significant as it marked one of the earliest instances where the U.S. Navy was actively engaged in combat, albeit not officially declared as a war. Loblolly Boys were early U.S. Navy personnel who performed duties akin to today's hospital corpsmen. Their responsibilities included providing medical care to sailors, which was particularly important during this conflict when naval battles often resulted in injuries and illness among crew members. As a result, the role of the Loblolly Boys was crucial in ensuring the health and readiness of the naval forces.

The other conflicts mentioned followed much later and involved different medical personnel and practices, which are not directly related to the origins of the Navy's medical corps.
