How were both combatants in the American Civil War able to avoid the mass amount of casualties that occurred in World War I from trench warfare?
That's a good point. But even with traditional infantry tactics, the American Civil War still had its fair share of casualties. How did they avoid the massive loss of life that occurred in World War I?
Well, one possibility is that the battles in the American Civil War were fought over relatively open terrain, as opposed to the cramped and narrow trenches of World War I. This meant that the armies were able to maneuver more freely and didn't have to worry as much about being trapped or overwhelmed by enemy fire.
