@2ndpadrummer actual battle losses were less than 1.2 to 1 for Feds versus Confeds. Most men on both sides died by disease.
Though there were some lop sided kill ratios at times, overall the losses were almost a statistical tie.

@OldVoice maybe you missed Cold Harbor, Selma, Lee's last counter attack at Petersburg to name but a few major such attacks... aspects of Napoleonic warfare continued long after our Civil War and even during that period, French style heavy infantry tactics were used at several battles by Federals with varying degrees of success

Seen them at many events...when its cold or you are tired from guard/the previous "battle" or what have you, they can fire you up for a new day!

As I read in Bruce Catton's 'Glory Road' to quote indirectly; 'Pickett's Charge was perhpas the last time in American History, and perhaps history itself, men lined up in perfect rows on an open field for an attack.'
Field musicians and bands, were the last vestiges of Napoleonic warfare vs. mass produced rifled infantry muskets.
No, no you couldn't.

I had 109 family members on the confederate side and 69 on the union so in that chase, really was a family against each other situation.
