In another thread, someone asked what if the Spencer Repeating Rifle was standard issue at the start of the American Civil War.
Someone said that had the US Army truly wanted, they could have spread up development and spread of advanced rifles. They also said that they could have had Thompson Guns if they truly tried and put enough effort.
Is this possible? The idea of modern weapons in the Civil War seem cool. What's the most advanced weapons we could have seen? And try to keep the Civil War as close to OTL, like Lincoln as President and relative same time (1861-1865)
Maybe Thompson, Gatlings, Colts, maybe primitive cars and airplanes? Use any POD you need.
