Question

4 or more please. Thanks!!!

Answer 1

Ironclads
Breach Loaders
Repeating pistols 5 shots or 6
rifling to canons for better accuracy
balloons used for observation
first all black division ever the MA all black lead by Col Shaw I think his name was.
Trains were used
Hard war was developed by Sherman now we call it total war
more effective torpedoes (now known as land mines, but only used once by the confederacy)
Native Americans were made many promised and I think had hte confederacy had won they would have had seats in the government as promised. but they lost so the promises made by the union of course were null and voided spelling doom for native americans.

So thats a few for you

Answer 2

first the of the minie ball was first used by french troops and the first submarine used in warfare was the Turtle, which unsuccessfully attacked the a British blockade during the American Revolution, and Steel warships were introduced shortly before the civil war. if you want new ideas that came about because of the civil war, try standardized railroad tracks, field hospitals, the repeating rifle, and I'm not entirely sure but the Gatling gun may have been introduced during the civil war.

Answer 3

The gatling gun was invented during the Civil War but saw only limited action late in the war. The U.S. army didn't like them at first because the firing mechanisms lacked a trigger making the gun useless if it jammed. Also, it overheated easily and was very heavy and difficult to set up quickly in a battle situation.

Answer 4

Repeating Rifles. The Mini-ball. The submarine. Iron clad warships. Landmines.
