Requirements: .M4A/.M4B reader, 72 MB
Overview: “God made men, but Sam Colt made them equal.” (A common 19th century adage)
The industrial revolution that unfolded in Western societies at the dawn of the 19th century altered daily life as a rapidly developing paradigm. Military weapons benefited from various upgrades and innovations, even as the soldiers and generals remained confined within Napoleonic tactics while struggling to learn about the new principles of physics and engineering.
By the time weapons industrialist Samuel Colt was born, the Lewis and Clark expedition sent to the Pacific by Thomas Jefferson had only recently returned with their report on the first overland continental journey. Outside of a small group of mountain men trapping and trading fur for European fashion magnates, few white settlers had found their way across the Great Plains. The firearms of the revolution demonstrated little difference between a soldier’s flintlock musket and a hunting weapon taken from the mantle.
