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.
