I have to do a this Civil War project for my AP US History class, and I need to know something for one part I am working on. What were some products or services available during the Civil War era?
I already have the camera, player piano, and typewriter, but I need one more.
I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out!

How bout lead musket balls. They were called minis, after some French dude. Also there was the first non-wood warships called ironclads. Also the first sinking by a submarine was during the civil war., All kinds of crap was first during the Civil War
