Before I start, you probably should have used the word 'affect' instead of 'effect' Well did you know that many of the modern weapons which are used today were first thought of or invented during the civil war? The machine gun, hot air balloon, submarine, battleship, aircraft, gas warfare, land mines, and many others were first used in the civil war. Most of them were unreliable and not in widespread use, but ironclads (the first metal ships) began to replace the wooden sloops of old. Mostly, the use of trench warfare and Napoleonic battle strategy determined the outcome of the war. In addition, political and econimical issues and also the sheer size of the Union army determined the Union to be victorious.

The weapons effected the war very much so. The first rifle was invented some time before the civil war and was used for the first time in battle. The rifle could shoot much farther and more accurathe than the muskets they use before.
