The reason that they made them was because they we frequently armored and metal cannon balls against metal would deflect unlike if they used wood it would break and sink. Battle of Hampton roads was the first battle that they were included March 8 and March 9 1862. Both the union and confederates had a ironclad and they just went at it it was one of the famous naval battle. The inventor of ironclads John Ericsson made them 1860 Jan 30. Some statistics are, ironclads hold twelve caliber guns one of virginia's most lethal weapons was a 1,500 pound iron ramp protecting it from  its bow! How impressive! Also 50 ironclads were used in total! According to, "USS Monitor was an iron-hulled steamship. Built during the American Civil War (1861–1865), she was the first ironclad ..... Each gun weighed approximately 16,000 pounds (7,300 kg) Oddly, these did not depend on their own ironclads. Ruffly each ironclad costed about 275,000$ depending on how much caliber weapons you used. Thats 7,852,972.89 USD today!

Also it was the confederates who came up with this plan of action to stop union steam transportation.  Although they rules for when the confederates can use it and the rules are they can only use it when the union is in confederate territory transporting soldiers or military supplies on the railroad. statistics were this weapon was only 4lbs!]]> 2019-05-01 17:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/2020javier00/noocfzm4qbme/wish/355908850 2020joel01 https://padlet.com/2020javier00/noocfzm4qbme/wish/355912210 Technology and weapons during the civil war is important today for many reasons and can be proven. One of the many reasons why it is, is because it shaped out our gun control laws and added controversy. According to history.com, "The conflict was the costliest and deadliest war ever fought on American soil, with some 620,000 of 2.4 million soldiers killed, millions more injured and much of the South left in ruin." This means that 620,000 people died and where would those rifles and weapons of the armies go? the weapons would be rusted cause of the condition they are in and been found by archeologist that want to learn more about what the people used, and get more info out there for others to know. No one knows who could of got these weapons and maybe the person that has them could have a mental disability and is dangerous and not smart with their actions using thy weapon. They conclude this war has changed and shaped our entire lives! Did I forget to mention that if confederates won the war none of us would be here living life blessed how we are today so take your opportunities and you them be wise and smart. Thank you, and now onto some of the war technology and weapons throughout the war. ]]> 2019-05-01 17:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/2020javier00/noocfzm4qbme/wish/355912210 2020javier00 https://padlet.com/2020javier00/noocfzm4qbme/wish/355916222 Technology had a huge impact on the civil war because it made the wars long lasting and very protective and great for being on offense also defense.]]> 2019-05-01 18:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/2020javier00/noocfzm4qbme/wish/355916222 2020javier00 https://padlet.com/2020javier00/noocfzm4qbme/wish/356313839
