I was at Gettysburg for the 125th anniversary of the battle. All I can say is, Confederates must have been crazy to march in formation across that huge open field. Cannon and rifle fire cut them to pieces. Civil War had to be the most brutal war ever.

World War I has entered the chat. You had the same tactics as those employed by Lee at Gettysburg, but with the addition of machine guns, bolt-action rifles, far more artillery with much more lethal shells, poison gas, and, to top it all off… barbed wire.
