Pickett's Charge on the last day of the Battle of Gettysburg demonstrated battlefield tactics that had already been seen in earlier battles such as the Battle of Frederickburg. At Gettysburg. the power of an elevated defensive position held by the Federals in conjunction with artillery used as a defensive deterrent was made clear. Union artillery fire, first used on a long range basis hurt the Confederates. As their lines managed to advance closer. the cannons used cannister fire to severely create large casualties. The dangers of frontal assaults were also demonstrated. And as at Fredericksburg, soldiers attacking a well defended position, were heavily hurt by rifle fire.
General Lee had appointed General William N. Pendleton to be in charge of the Confederate artillery at the Battle of Gettysburg. He was one of many pundits who believed that artillery was best used as a defensive element.
Not really. The current hand grenade had not been invented. There WERE "grenades" of a sort- large metal balls filled with gunpowder, with a burning fuse- but they were rarely used.
