The battle of Shiloh was a two-day battle that was fought at Pittsburg Landing in Tennessee. The battle is also sometimes called the Battle of Pittsburg Landing for this reason. It was in the middle of the Civil War, taking place on April 6th and 7th of 1862. In this battle, Ulysses S. Grant led the union forces, and Albert Sidney Johnston led the confederates. Grant originally had planned to move in on the Confederates in Corinth, Mississippi, on April 4th.
Campbell formed his men into a line (rather than into square, which was the accepted way for infantry to face a cavalry charge) and the Russian advance was driven off with volleys of RIFLE fire. This action became known as the ‘Thin Red Line’. The bulk of the British army was armed with muzzle loading rifles (MLR). With the army’s adoption of the Minie rifle only a few years before the war began, which had an effective range of up to 1,000 yards, and a rate of fire of around two shots a minute. As for accuracy, its impact was immediately felt, for at the battles of Alman and Inkerman, one bullet in sixteen took effect, whereas at the battle of waterloo in 1815, one bullet in 459 was able to find a target.
Since its declaration of independence from Great Britain, the United States has experienced wars of many different sorts. Each war introduced a new kind of warfare. The Revolutionary War introduced for the first time in American history, the idea of naval warfare. Ships were armed with dozens guns and carried several dozens of men.

Religion, language, and government in Texas are three other themes that can be identified in throughout the constitutions.

Before the Vietnam war the main round our military used was the 7.62x63mm round. During the Vietnam war we phased out the M14 rifle in the 7.62x63mm round to the M16 in the 5.56x45mm which is the godfather of today's M16A2 and the M4 carbine. As of now the old 7.62x63mm (.30-06) is not used but we do have an equivalent which is the 7.62x51mm NATO. This round was considered too powerful and has too much recoil to be used for basic combat and urban warfare. Currently it is used for sniping applications which more power and range is required.
Also I will examine the relationships between men and women and how women in general are treated in each film. As the film Tombstone opens the narrator gives a brief yet historical background about Earp and the town Tombstone. Setting the timeframe to 1879 the film narrator explains that because of the economic explosion in the West this spurred the Great Migration. However, it also triggered the violence that infested the city of Tombstone turning it into an “armed camp”. The wave of violence that we see in the film is inaccurately represented according to Richard White, It’s Your Misfortune and None of My Own where he states that “during the peak years of cattle towns, the average number of homicides was only 1.5 a year from each town.” However, the films representation is the opposite since the narrator depicts murder rates higher than modern day Los Angeles or New York and the opening scene is of the film is a gun fight which results in murders including a catholic priest which is caused by the cowboys.

The weapons used by the US Army Infantry and US Marine Corps in the Korean War were practically the same types that had been used during World War II with a few additions to vehicles and air support. In 1950, the US soldier went to Korea armed with the M1 Garand, which was a .30-caliber rifle fed with an 8-round clip. The M1 Grand held a edge over the Korean, German bolt-actions rifles with a, “semiautomatic” firing system. The rifle came into service by 1936, and still one of the U.S Military’s favorite by the Korean War. Over 5.5 Million of these were produced.
