How did weapons change the Revolutionary War?

There was no noticable weapons changes in the American Revolutionary War. Same old muskets, same old massed formations on the battlefields, same old bright colored uniforms, and same ole muzzle loading cannons.. Percussion cap ignited muskets would enter the scene with the Mexican War of 1846. Repeating metallic cartridge firing rifles would enter the scene in the US Civil War in 1861. Smokeless gunpowder would enter the history books with the Americans in the Spanish- American War of '98 with the vaunted 30-40 Krag bolt action rifle.

Are the Civil War and the war for independence the same?

They are NOT the same. However Civil war may pave way for Independence like Bangladesh. And civil war may not lead to independence at all. After Independence civil war may happen like US of America, which did not result in another spell of Independence. The American War of Independence in 1775 was a civil war. The colonists were British just as much as the British in Barbados or the Isle of Wight. The only became "Americans" after they had gained their independence and been recognised as a new country.

What made the American Revolutionary War not a true revolutionary?

A real revolution is where one group tries to overthrow the existing government of its country and take over themselves. In the American "Revolution" the American Patriots were not trying to take over England, they wanted to separate their land from England. This makes the American Revolution more of a colonial insurrection, or colonial rebellion. Similarly, a civil war is much the same as a revolution - two groups contending for control of ALL of a single country. The south in the US Civil War did not want to control the north, merely to separate from it. The real name given in the Official Records of the "Civil War" published by the US government is "The War of the Rebellion". Like so many other things about that war, nobody can agree on much, not even what to call it.


What is the definition of an Civil War?
