In the Civil War, they had just discovered bullets made by soft lead. When the lead made contact it would swell in size, leaving a larger hole on the way out than it made on the way in. Otherwise they used just plane rifle bullets-often with bayonets. The Civil War was not civil at all-in fact it was the most bloody war in American History. People were brutal and they wanted to make sure that the South/ North (depending on their respective sides) did not win. They were out for blood and they sure got it.

The British used them for what they called "the Wall of Steel" this was where the entire front line of the army would rush forward with their bayonets toward the colonists. usually the colonists would flee not knowing how to stop them.

The bayonet was an important weapon in many US Civil War battles. In close quarters, the bayonet was used as the common infantryman were not issued side arms. Hand to hand battles were frequent and were famously used in many battles. For example, bayonets were in use in Seven Day's battles, Second Bull Run and Spotsylvania to mention just a few of the battles where bayonets had a role in the outcome of any given battle.
Both sides used bayonets the Allies and the Central Powers.
