      The Civil War was seminal to modern warfare! A large part of modern warfare began in the Civil War. They proved the use in battle of: Ironclads with turrets, submarines, machine guns, airborne artillery observers, steam powered warships, breech loaded cannons, the miniball, battlefield Hospitals, and Morphine.

      We grew up, and learned to kill more efficiently, in the (Not so) Civil war! But there were a lot of heroic efforts too! Brave MEN all!

        Yes, but The Crimean War also set the stage for many modern military philosophies...and field hospitals...where Florence Nightingale got her "wings."

          Lots of changes happened in that timeframe. But a lot of good men bled and died to feed this beast!

            Right, and the Crimean War was almost as ill-advised and WASTEFUL as our Civil War.

              Our Civil Was a terrible waste of life! The confederate states had the legal right to leave. The entire war was illegal, and mine fought for Lincoln....

                If you ever get a chance, read "Memoirs of Service Afloat" by Raphael Semmes...Captain of the Confederate raiders CSN Sumter and CSN Alabama. He does a great job explaining the reasons for the South doing what they did, and they are TOTALLY in opposition to what our kids have been taught since the 1870s! It's very well written, as well, and beautifully illustrated.

                (The descriptions of his exploits against Yankee shipping are fascinating too.)

                  I will look for it! That is my kind of books! Reading what happened, by an author of the period gives much greater insight into real cause and effect!

                  :)
