One hundred. At the start of the war, when units were being raised on both sides, there might be a few more or a few less. But generally one hundred was the accepted number. Few companies had this many men for long though. Once the companies left home and went to an army camp, the men started getting diseases. These were almost all farm boys, who had never had normal childhood diseases, because they led isolated lives on their farms and were never exposed. They got measles and mumps and chicken pox, and many more diseases caused by poor sanitation and bad water in army camps. Many died or had to be discharged. Once a new company had been "put through the fevers", which was the usual thing that all new companies went through, it would do well to have fifty or sixty men. Once they got into combat, these numbers went even lower. Most companies made some effort to keep up strength as best they could, sending officers back home to recruit new men.
Each new company got to elect its own officers - a captain to command the company and several lieutenants to assist. Ten companies made a regiment. Once ten companies were collected and regimented together, they got to elect officers for the regiment - a colonel to command, and a lieutenant colonel and a major.
Which Civil War? England and America both had them, at different times. So have other countries.
