Exploding projectiles

Yeah it is why they lost the war. Gettysburg would've turned out differently if the fuses had detonated above and not behind the union line.

I agree that if they had better technology they might have won more battles, such as Gettysburg or Antetiem, but I think the north would have still won in the end. It just would have gone on longer. At the end of the day, it always comes down to which side has the stronger / deeper economy, assets, and political will to sustain hostilities.

Correct, with the naval blockade, the ACW became a logistics war, not a tactical or strategic war..., and it was just a matter of time. Same happened in the AWI..., British already on the verge of bankruptcy, couldn't really wage a protracted war across the Atlantic...., it was "over" three years before the shooting stopped.
