The widespread use of rifled muskets during the American Civil War significantly increased the death toll, as these weapons were more accurate and had a longer range than previous firearms. Coupled with the introduction of minié balls, which expanded upon traditional ammunition design, these advancements caused devastating injuries and fatalities in battles. Additionally, the lack of effective medical practices and hygiene exacerbated the mortality rate, leading to a staggering number of casualties throughout the conflict.
