It is difficult to explain, since money was quite different then. A purchase of $50 was a MAJOR purchase then- since the average man would have worked for much of a year to get the $50. A good rifle might be the only gun that a person would buy in his lifetime, and pass that rifle on to a son as a valuable inheritance. Many of the rifles were made- one at a time- by hand. Later as gun making became more mechanized, the cost of a rifle would decrease. Think of the cost of a rifle as being similar to the cost today of a good used car.
Two certain interest groups in America today could be NRA (national rifle association), protecting gun rights and gun owners, or NASFA (provide international education and providing oppurtunity into carrer fields). Hope this helped someone!
There is no "gun control" amendment.
There were many new technologies used in the Civil war. They included the blockades, total war, new gun designs, use of the telegraph for quick communication while in battle, submarines,land mines, grenades, observation balloons, repeating guns, and ironclads. Most of these were not used very often.
No, of course not. But a gun can be a solution to some problems.
The Gatling Gun was invented in the USA by Dr. Richard Gatling, but other countries bought them and used them. General Gorloff who purchased them for the Russian Army renamed them Gorloff Guns, and a gatling gun is known as a gorloff gun in Russia today. Also, any machine gun or automatic cannon which now uses Gatling's principle of revolving barrels can be called a gatling with a lower case "g."
Dr. Richard Gatling was the inventor of the Gatling Gun which used revolving barrels to achieve a high rate of fire. The principle was revived in the 1960's and is still used today. Gatling refused to sell his gun to the Confederate Army during the Civil War, and the US Army was not interested, but after the War the US Army adopted the gun. Gatling, a medical doctor by trade, was ironically inspired to invent the Gatling Gun for humanitarian reasons, so as to make war more efficient, thus reducing the appalling casualties as a result of disease. Gatling patented numerous nonlethal inventions and improvements to existing inventions, but none as famous as the Gatling Gun.
