Today I am faced with a tough decision. The North and South have split from each other. The North is forming an army, they call it the Union. Even though I want to serve my country in war, I cannot help thinking what could become of me. I have seen how people do not always come back from war, and what kind of people they have become when the return. One thing eases my mind, the technology that the Union has is very advanced.
One of the advances was the new types of rifles and slugs. These rifles were deadly at up to half a mile and the slug rounds used caused many more amputations. The repeating gun, the forerunner of the machine gun was also a factor.
