The two main weapons used during the Civil War would be the 1855 Enfield and the 1861 Springfield. The Enfield was imported from England and mainly saw use in the CS, on the other hand, the 1861 Springfield was made in the US and saw extensive use in the US armies. Both were rifle-muskets, meaning that they had rifling to increase accuracy (Think of how a football spins.) and were loaded via the muzzle of the rifle.
