with war and how this relationship influences American warfare through the research and study of the interpretation and analyzation of American military models, policy and goal changes, the use of military technology, “American way of war,” and the relationship with, preparation for, and application of war. In the two hundred years since 1775, there has been thirty-five years of fighting in what we consider major conflicts or wars. This averages out to about one year of war to every

Although "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" is today considered the preeminent Northern war song, Union soldiers were more likely to bestow that honor upon "The Battle Cry of Freedom."

The textbook notes entitled “Major Events of the Civil War” proves this point as it shows the new technology brought forth by soldiers, including weapons like musket minie balls and cannons. When they were created, these tools were far more accurate and had a greater range, so opponents had more of a risk of death. This helped both sides create more casualties during each battle. Without it, the war wouldn’t have made much of a difference in creating a clear understanding of

“War has always been the mother of invention” (Brauer 201). The involvement of countries in war paved the way to great technological improvements and inventions in weapon modernization. The main idea behind the invention of new weapons during the early 19th century was to overcome the challenges experienced during the early wars that took place. Ancient weapons had various limitations in relations to the diameter of field war and accuracy of the weapons. “A hinge in technological history was experienced
