I've been seeing a lot for a sewing machine...but mostly war materials

# data[].attributes.body
most of the inventions where weapons of war but there was some that where  for farming

The biggest thing was with the Weaponry and the machinery that was the strategies they used for the war.

The trends i am noticing is the weapons are being used in the Civil war victory.

Trends that I have noticed is that these people are coming up with weapons, shoes, machines and etc.  to make it easier for the soldiers in the war.

in 1861 there seemed to be a lot of patents for weaponry and sewing machines

# data[].attributes.body
the biggest patents at the time and of my opinion is the machinery and weaponry that is documented that they used for war and strategies they also used

# data[].attributes.headline
Most of the Patents revolve around the farming lifestyle of the Southern States, Such as inventions to speed up the process of making clothing. Also, the patents involve the bettering and improvement of weaponry.

The trend I am seeing among the patents documented is for weapons and machines that are used for war.

Many of the patents at the time of the Civil War are for the war effort, with many of them being for new guns, new mechanics for the guns, horse related inventions, or even a cartridge box.

The biggest trend I see is these patents are mostly for use of the war. There are many weapons that will be a big help for the men.

The general trend is that many things were made to help people to be more efficient. There were a lot of weaponry inventions as well as a lot of farming inventions. Both were made to be more efficient than the previous inventions

Alot of the patents are made for guns and there ability to reload faster.

Most of these patents are for machines, weapons, or means of supplying a war (Such as sewing machine upgrades for making uniforms, gun-lances, and percussion fuses for cannons). Inventors and engineers realised the demand required, and decided to take advantage of it by giving supply. They most likely were approved because of how useful they could potentially be for the growing war effort. Even though for the first year's worth of patents were made before shiloh proved just how much this war would cost.
