Civil War Armaments & Technology

“Why did they fight in lines?” “Were they Stupid?” NO!!!! Psychology – closeness in numbers. Battles were terrifying 1-150 bullets actually hit somebody Could see flags above firing smoke fog for formation

Wagon Trains Women – had to feed and take care of the men Confederate Sterling Price’s Wagon Train through Missouri stretched (reportedly) 15 miles

Howitzers Smoothbore Howitzer Threw 12-pound shell up to 1000 yards (1/2 mile) Could be easily disassembled & carried by mule Smoothbore Howitzer

Gatling Gun Limited use in the Civil War - 1864 600 rounds (bullets) in one minute

Ironclad ships Iron covered vessels Revolving turret (cannon) Brings an end to tall-masted wooden military ships

Springfield Rifle Union Army’s standard weapon Rifled bore - greater accuracy 150 - 200 yards (compared to 80 yards for smooth bore weapons) Gives rise to trench warfare Single Shot? Why not multiple shot?

Telegraph Long distance communication Organized troop movement

Train Allowed for quick movement of troops & supplies All major Civil War battles took place 100 or miles less from RR tracks

Disease Disease was the chief killer in the war - claiming two soldiers for every one killed in battle. Hospitals were so unsanitary that one Union soldier lamented: "If a fellow has [to go to the] Hospital, you might as well say goodbye.” -Ken Burns - Civil War
