No, dynamite could not have been used in the US Civil War. Dynamite was not invented until 1866, or patented until 1867. The Civil War was over by May of 1865.

What type of black powder is used in Dynamite?

Dynamite doesn't use gunpowder. There were a few different compositions. Some used nitroglycerin with an absorbent material (such as kieselguhr or sawdust), and some compositions used ammonium nitrate. In both cases, they were extremely unstable and dangerous to manufacture, which is why dynamite has more of less been phased out in favour of other alternatives.


What is the nationality of dynamite?

Hmm. That's an interesting question. You could say that it is Swedish because its inventor (Alfred Nobel) was Swedish, or you could say it is German because that is where the first dynamite was developed... or you could say that each stick of dynamite has a nationality based on where it was manufactured, since it is manufactured all over the world. Truly, though, dynamite is just a tool used by people, and it doesn't care where it is or who is using it. It just does what is it supposed to do and blows stuff up. It has no nationality.
