Something that I found surprising in learning about the technology during the civil war was that they used ht air balloons. They also used trains! I would have never guessed they had trains.

An interesting thing that I learned was that they had a ship that had a revolving gun! i thought that those came along later in history!

The technology changed a lot, from revolving cannon fire to revolving machine gun and rocket launchers. I learned that the gatling gun was invented really early, during the civil war.

I think it's a good idea but it a lot of people could go to far. There should be some restrictions and students should be responsible for their own stuff.
