The US Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865. The Mexican War was fought from 1846-1848...the FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS ever taken during a war, were taken during the Mexican War; some are images of mounted US Dragoons in New Mexico (US Dragoons were "Mounted Infantrymen").

Were there color cameras during the civil war?

No. The camera had only been invented about 30 years before the civil war and film hadn't been invented yet. To take a picture in this time a chemical was put on a glass plate or a piece of tin. It was exposed to light and a negative was imprinted on the plate/tin. From this a picture was made. Today, very few of the glass plates can be found because they were recylced into greenhouses and windows. The sun faded the pictures that were on them. The Civil War was the first photographed war in history and many people had their views changed by seeing the pictures of the battlefields and people.
