Muzzle-loaders began to fall out of common use in the mid-19th century with the advent of breech-loading firearms and repeating firearms, which offered faster loading and reloading capabilities. The American Civil War (1861-1865) highlighted the limitations of muzzle-loaders, leading to a rapid transition to more advanced weaponry. By the end of the 19th century, most military forces had largely replaced muzzle-loaders with modern rifles.
