Well, as our resident Civil War aficionado, I shall look forward to some posts on the subject in the future from you.

    On our side of the atlantic we should have learned a lot from the US struggle but we didn't, and many died because of it. From battle tactics improving enough to prevent the mass slaughter that was full frontal assaults against a defended position.
-True, old habits die hard.

From what I understand both North and South used some tactics gathered from the Native Americans. Is this right?
