Autumn Thompson

Two weapons that were used in the civil war were the machine gun and tanks. The machine gun allowed people to rapidly fire bullets at their enemys. Machine guns were the cause of the majority of deaths in World War 1. Tanks were used also, but could only hold few people at a time. They also were not able to travel across trenches so they were not as popular.
