New technology that was beneficial to the Civil War were canned foods, photography, and the telegraph. Soldiers were supplied with easier loading rifles that put a spin on the bullet to increase accuracy. A new bullet called the mini ball did far more damage to human bodies than previous ammunition. There was also some use of the new Gatling gun and missiles where they were available. The Civil War was also the first use of the submarine. Perhaps one of the most important inventions used in the Civil War was the railroads.

How was technology an advantage for the North in the US Civil War?
Generally speaking, both the Union and Confederate troops had access to the technology used in the US Civil War. Repeating and breech loading rifles, ironclad warships, telegraphed communications were all available either bought from Europe or built in Union armaments factories. The single much talked about "new" weapon was the Gatling Gun, the first type of machine gun developed by the North. There is rarely, however, mention of this weapon as being crucial to the outcome of battles. The technology of the rotating gun turret on Monitor type war vessels, was new technology, but once again not a determining factor in civil war battles.
