Tactics had not caught up with technology..The line up and shoot tactics of earlier wars were fought with smoothbore muskets, not extremely accurate weapons..At the time of the Civil War, muskets had rifled barrels which were far more accurate, resulting in higher casualties, because the old tactics were still in vogue.
