Selected (3):

- Battles were fought over control of transportation routes — rail lines and rivers were strategic targets because controlling them disrupted enemy movement and supply.
- Railroads and steamboats moved people and supplies — steam-powered transport allowed rapid, long-distance movement of troops, equipment, and materiel.
- The telegraph sped up wartime communication — commanders and governments could send and receive intelligence and orders much faster than by courier.
