'Total War' - or abandoning the rules of combat, to target the 'civilian underbelly' of the enemy, burning farms, destroying cities etc. , as Sherman did in Georgia and Sheridan in the Shenandoah.
The Monitor and Merrimack were the first ironclad warships to engage in battle during the Civil War. Their battle at Hampton Roads in 1862 marked a turning point in naval warfare, as it demonstrated the effectiveness of ironclad ships and the end of wooden warships. This event revolutionized naval technology and tactics, influencing the design of future warships.
Guerrilla warfare in Texas history is notably associated with the conflicts during the Texas Revolution and the Civil War. During the Texas Revolution (1835-1836), Texian forces often employed irregular tactics against Mexican troops, utilizing ambushes and surprise attacks. In the Civil War, Texas saw guerrilla activities primarily from Confederate sympathizers who resisted Union forces, leading to violent skirmishes and raids. These tactics reflected the rugged terrain and the strong local knowledge of combatants, allowing smaller groups to effectively challenge larger, conventional armies.
It wasn't that unique. Francis Marion (the Swamp Fox) was successful during the American Revolutionary War; Quantrill was successful during the American Civil War (US Civil War)...as two examples. Nearly all wars have had and will continue to have some sort of "guerrilla" warfare.
The tactics general Sherman used during the civil war was to cut a path down to Florida by burning every single thing he saw. Houses, churches everything
AIM used tactics that were often confrontational and violent.
Tactics are the small decisions that concern a battle. Strategy is the larger plan affecting a whole war or campaign. Bad tactics for the south were frontal attacks versus entrenched troops. I feel it is their strategies that failed them (outdated Napoleonic warfare in a modern age).
There are several types of war, including conventional warfare, which involves regular armed forces engaging in direct combat; guerrilla warfare, characterized by irregular tactics and small, mobile groups; and asymmetric warfare, where opposing forces differ significantly in military capabilities. Other forms include civil war, fought within a country, and total war, which mobilizes all of society's resources against an enemy. Additionally, there are modern forms such as cyber warfare, which targets information systems, and hybrid warfare, combining conventional and unconventional tactics.
Rifle
There were a few technological advancements that directly impacted warfare during the American Civil War. Two things were the railroad and the Gatling Gun.
Gen. Trenchie of course!
guerrilla warfare
hell naw Are you serious play the game and find out :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Modern Warfare 2 is a sequel to the original Modern Warfare. The War in this series is the Russian Civil War as heard in the cut scene before you start your Mission F.N.G. (F***ing New Guy.)
The South used basically the same tactics as the North. Allot of attacking and retreating in formations. Usually one side attacked a designated position on the other defended. The South did use guerrilla warfare, especially with Calvary, raiding Union supplies and food and skirmishing.

The true potential of the rifles available during the Civil War was not used because Generals on both sides insisted on using old tactics, without tacking the ability of their weapons into account.
