We had two ironclad ships in the US civil war. Plus many cannons. I’m not sure what you mean.

The US Civil War famously happened after the industrial revolution took place.

I think they crossed multiple thoughts...

A sheet of metal in the civil war has nothing to do with arrows...

They were saying no one made big sheets of metal during the civil war. No clue about why they said arrows

Bruh, the Union had over 40 and the Confederates over 20. Both sides had plans and began construction on many more when the war ended. Two, you got me laughing on a history sub.
