The Civil War- Modern or Napoleonic War?

The civil war was the first modern war or the last Napoleonic war. This problem has plagued historians for many years. Joseph Dawson, author of the article "The beginning of modern warfare"? I think the civil war is the first modern war. His view is generally accepted. Alternatively, Paddy Griffith compared the tactics used in civil war with the tactics of "War Tactics" in books used during the Napoleonic era. He denied the common idea and even if the civil war had new weapons and skills, he believed that it was still a Napoleonic war.

Griffith studied the argument that the American Civil War represents a new type of war in the Napoleonic war. On the contrary, the controversy shows that the civil war is closer to the First World War in terms of technology and tactics. Griffith discovered that this explanation is unfounded. He advocated a debate that argued that there was no doubt that the civil war was far far away from the point of tactics and technology from the Napoleonic war of the early 19th century. By observing the military, commanders, weapons, and the battlefield themselves, Griffith concluded that civil warfare is rarely applied under "modern" classification. He does not believe that the civil war represents a tough departure from the Napoleonic war.
