New Military Technologies of the Civil War By: Ahmed, Alex, Bridget, Big Daddy, and Noah

Espionage during the Civil War Both sides used aerial reconnaissance to spy on their enemies. Both sides used balloons, although the Union aeronautical program was far more successful and better organized. There were a number of spies who acted independently of any organization. These were often patriotic women trying to find some way to aid the war effort of their government.

New weapons of the Civil War The Minié Ball- (aka Minie Ball) was a type of bullet that was used throughout the Civil War. Designed to expand while traveling along the rifle barrel, it increased muzzle velocity as well as providing spin to the bullet, expanding its accuracy and range. Gatling gun- One of the best-known early rapid-fire weapons and a forerunner of the modern machine gun. Ironclad Warships- Like submarines and balloons, the ironclad war ship wasn't invented during the Civil War, but the Civil War was the first time ironclads saw widespread, effective use.

Communication During the Civil War Abraham Lincoln was the first president who was able to communicate on the spot with his officers on the battlefield. The Confederate army was at a disadvantage, they lacked the technological and industrial ability to conduct such a large- scale communication campaign. In 1861 the union army created the U.S. military telegraph Corps. The Civil War was the first war to be documented through the lens of a camera.
