Communication

Transportation changed drastically during the civil war. With the invention of the railroad which was faster then any other mode of transportation in that time period. Also the invention of the submarine which changed transportation in the war.

Weapons were yet another area of technology that was strongly effected by the civil war. Rifles were one of these advances. They were designed to shoot farther and faster then muskets. Rifles along with these guns abilities to fire more than one bullet without having to reload.

The telegraph and the photograph were both examples of how communications changed during the civil war. The telegraph helped people communicate faster and more efficiently. The photograph enhanced how we see the war. Pictures taken help us to see what the war was like.
