During the American Civil War, the North primarily used rifled muskets, such as the Springfield Model 1861, which allowed for greater accuracy and range. The South also utilized similar rifled muskets but relied heavily on the production of their own weapons, including the Enfield rifle. Both sides employed artillery pieces like cannons and howitzers, as well as new technologies such as ironclad warships and Gatling guns. Overall, the war saw a mix of traditional firearms and emerging military technology.
