MEDICINE

  • The red cross brought medicine to injured soldiers
  • Sometimes it took days to get to certain people.
  • Some due to lack of care some people ended up dying.
  • Several medicines were included in the civil war.
  • If it didn't take days for the medicine to get there, i think more people would have survived.

WEAPONRY

  • During the war weapons were used almost always
  • Most of the time they used weapons such as bows and arrows, or swords.
  • Some countries were able to use guns during the war.
  • During the later wars most people were able to almost always use guns
  • If they would have had better weapons then they could won more wars and it wouldn't have been as painful.

TRANSPORTATION

  • People used horses for getting around places
  • Trains were used underground and above ground.
  • Hot air balloons were used for the spies to go back and forth for people
  • If there were cars or planes the war could have been finished quicker.

COMMUNICATION

  • People wrote letters during the civil war
  • Used the telegraph.
  • As well signal towers
  • They also used photography
  • I think if technology was better back then some of the soldiers might have lived.
