The new technology made war fare more deadly as battlefield tactics remained generations behind. The most important technological advances in the American Civil War were iron clad ships (beginning with the fight between the USS Monitor and the CSS Merrimac), the first successful sinking of a ship by a submarine (CSS Hunley), and the introduction of the rifled Minie Ball , which decimated the ranks of attacking infantrymen.
