Yeah I mean they did introduce Gatling gun but it didn’t have nearly as big an impact as the ironclads and the artillery. To be fair the trenches towards the end were likely a last ditch effort to hold ground. By late 1864 it was obvious who was wining that war

The trenches certainly were a "ditch effort" -- last or otherwise

Oh do you mean Sherman burning the south in the single most inspired bit of military history ever, or the part where Grant thrashed Lee to the point of submission?

Who can even pick between those two?

I prefer Sherman’s March, simply for the balls on that man
