Select the sentence in this passage that demonstrates the fallacy of oversimplification.

The civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the United States. More than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. The fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. The wounded often suffered acute pain in the field hospitals. They all should have asked for better care. William Hammond, the surgeon general of the Union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. If people do not accept Hammond as the most important person from the Civil War, they have no understanding of the war.
