What ancient Greek battle tactic was also used by soldiers in the US Civil War?
Early ancient Greek battle tactics are identified as "shock tactics". Before archery, javelins and heavy cavalry were employed by the Greeks, the basic battle tactic was fighting hand to hand with unsophisticated weapons of war. Three thousand years later, the soldiers of the US Civil War had highly developed weapons and sophisticated battle tactics. With that said, however, "shock tactics" lived on through the millenniums. Soldiers in the US Civil War had a weapon for "shock tactics" and when fighting in close quarters, the fixed bayonet was the instrument of "shock value".
