What was the major improvement in the range of US Civil War artillery compared to that of Napoleon era cannon?

Taking into consideration only the field artillery, the longest cannon range of the Napoleonic era was of 1,800 meters, reached by a 12 pound smoothbore gun (caliber 121 millimeters) firing with its maximum elevation. When the Civil War broke out, the Union had at disposal the 3 inches gun and the Parrot's 10 pound gun, both rifled, whose ranges went beyond 4 kilometers. But the maximum range was that of over 10 kilometers, reached by Parrot's rifled siege cannons of 100, 200 and 300 pounds.
