The American Civil War is often described as the first modern war, with repeating guns, rifled muskets, motorized ships, and modern logistics. Where then, do the sword, the bayonet, and the knife fit in to this modern war? They are, in fact, much more significant than you might think! Join Swordsmanship Museum and Academy historian, Jerry Berg, as he takes us through the significant, and often overlooked, role of hand-to-hand combat during the bloodiest war ever fought on the North American continent!
