In glory the method of fighting during the civil war contributed to the high casualty rate?
GloryThe formation of soldiers caused the high casualty rate during the civil war. Soldiers stood side by side fighting each other until one side withdrew. When shooting into a line it is extremely easy to hit somebody because you don't have to aim for one person because you are, most likely, bound to hit somebody.
