What part of the civil war did the marines corp play?
A very small part. The Marine Corps is part of the US Navy, their original purpose being to provide detachments on ships to fire small arms at the enemy when Naval battles found two opposing ships alongside each other, to board enemy vessels, and to provide a landing force when the Navy needed to make an attack on land, at a harbor or its defenses, for instance. Large Navy ships still have a Marine detachment aboard. During the Civil War the Marines continued to provide detachments for shipboard service, and thereby assisted in maintaining the blockade of the Confederacy. The Confederates actually formed their own Marine Corps, but it was very small and did nothing of note.
