What is the difference in a civil war bullet from the confederacy and the union?
Even though both sides used the same rifles, their bullets were slightly different in how they were made. The muzzle-loading rifles used a Minie ball that was a conical bullet with a hollow base. The outside of the base had rings molded into them by the bullet mold.In general the difference was the number of grooves at the base: 2 or 3. I forget which side had which number: believe the Confederate used the 2 grooves. Also, some of the Confederate bullets were made very crudely and some have been found that were more blunt with no grooves at all.

What about Civil War bullets?
The US Civil War was our last war fought with muskets. The Civil War was a transitioning phase to metalic cartridges, that we still use today. When US Civil War soldiers fired their muskets/rifles there was no spent shell casing to eject from the weapon. Only a lead ball or minie bullet came out of the muzzle (minie bullet was shaped like today's bullet...long missile shaped). Some Spencer repeating rifles were used (the transitioning phase) in which spent copper shell cases were ejected from the weapons.

What was the name of the bullet that so many soldiers on both sides used during the civil war?
I think you're referring to the "minie ball" which was a French invention. It was one of the first spin-stabilized conical bullets to be used. The rifles used to shoot it had a rifled barrel to impart spin to the minie ball. Earlier muskets shot round balls and had smooth bores.
