Adaptation (of Lincoln's army)

Adaptation in the context of Lincoln's army during the American Civil War refers to the military's ability to evolve in response to changing conditions and challenges. As initial strategies proved inadequate against the Confederacy, the Union army improved its tactics, training, and technology. Leaders like General George McClellan learned from early defeats, emphasizing better organization and logistics. The adoption of new weapons, such as rifles and artillery, and innovations like the use of railroads for troop movement demonstrated significant adaptability. Ultimately, these changes contributed to the Union's eventual success in the war.
