What was the Strongest Artillery Gun in North America in those Years? i have not Really Followed the Artillery guns through them to my Regret
I'm no expert in artillery either, but when did Whitworths come out? I know they were used in the various wars of the 1860's and that the 32-lber Whitworths were particularly valued field guns (in the Triple Alliance War, Paraguay waged an entire battle just to get one from the Allies).
Huh, I always thought they were used by the Union and not the Confederacy because they seemed like the kind of thing that was too expensive and rare for the CSA to acquire. But further reading proves you right, I guess Confederate artillery was not as poor as I had previously thought.Whitworth produced his gun in 1855 in an attempt to gain a British government contract. The only Whitworths in North America were imported by the CSA in 1862.
