A year after secession from the Union, South Carolina and the Confederate State Government, I faced the daunting challenge of providing soldiers with arms, ammunition and other military tools during the American Civil War. In "The Best Gun in the World", explains Robert S.

Seagler how South Carolina established its own arms depot, then used the help of the inventor of weapons technology to meet demand. Seagler has stockpiled federal and state plant records, state and state archives, and US patents for detailed information on weapons production, salaries and status of free and bonded employees, and other financial records to reveal an interesting and distinctive story of technological innovation and manufacturing in South Carolina. George Woodward Morse, originally from New Hampshire, was an innovative and innovative firearm, settled in Louisiana in the 1840s.

He invented a reliable firearm in the mid-1850s to replace the warriors who were deployed all over the world. It was very important for the successful operation of any breechloader of its ammunition, and Morse mastered the first metal cartridge, a central, pre-prepared cartridge, its most important contribution to the development of modern firearms. The US War Department tested the Morse rifles and cartridges before the civil war began and hired the inventor to produce weapons at Harpers Ferry Arms Store.

However, when the war began, Morse, the owner of a farmer with slaves, decided he could sell more of his weapons in the south. South Carolina's military work is originally designed to fire a cannon, carbine mors and modified silks, brass cartridges, cartridge boxes, and other military equipment. The weapons eventually produced only about 1,350 pieces of Morse firearms.

Over the next 20 years, Morse sought to regain his legacy as the inventor of copper-centric copper cartridges, which are now standard ammunition for military and sporting firearms.
