The Civil War saw advances in rapid fire weapons. It saw armored ship firing guns at each other and it saw the beginnings of submarine warfare. The CSS Alabama inspired the German Uboat campaign.
After the war was over the northern discovered a brand new version of a rapid fire weapon that out performed the Gatling gun. It was a true machine gun that the south couldn't make because of the poor quality of Southern steel. The North had no such problem and from this prototype the first machine guns were made. The South produced volley gins but could not make a viable machine gun.
During both world wars Americans and other armies fell to the very same developed weapons that the south had planned to make.
