The fallacy of oversimplification refers to the piece of writing, which is overly simplified down to a single or couple of causes. These kinds of sentences ignore the other causes which could have brought up the consequences. These sentences are an exaggeration to one single cause and holding it up as the only cause for the onset of the event.

In the example, one can see that there is an exaggeration to the surgeon general. There could be many important persons in the civil war, but the importance given to Hammond illustrates the casual oversimplification.
