This is because the two types of pox are related. Someone exposed to cowpox will develop antibodies to the cowpox. These antibodies will help fight against small pox. This phenomenon was observed by Edward Jenner, who used it to create a smallpox vaccine. (The word "vaccine" is related to the Latin word for "cow".)

What if you used cowpox to prevent the flu?
It wouldn't work. You must introduce the specific viruses that cause influenza to prevent the flu. Cowpox vaccines would be used for preventing cowpox (or some infections by closely related other poxviruses).
A similar virus to cowpox virus is Vaccinia virus which is the type of pox virus that was used to produce the vaccines originally developed and used to prevent smallpox. Smallpox is now eradicated from the wild thanks to worldwide use of smallpox vaccines made from Vaccinia.
Despite its name, cowpox virus does not infect cows, it infects mice, rats and other rodents.
How was smallpox cured during the civil war?
There was no cure for small pox, and there still isn't. If you got it, you either lived through it, after which you were immune to it, or you died.
What they could do was vaccinate, or inoculate people against the disease. The same principal was used as is used today when small children are given their vaccinations. You expose the person to a weak form of the disease, which allows the body to build an immunity against the disease, without having to endure the full course of the disease.
One way they did this was to take scabs off the sores of a person with small pox, slice them up into tiny bits, and make a little cut on the skin of the person to be vaccinated, and put one of the tiny bits of small pox scab in the cut. Like all vaccinations, there is a risk of acquiring a full-blown case of the disease, but if the vaccinated person was lucky he would just be achy and feverish for a few days, and afterward would be immune to small pox.

Anyone can refuse any treatment they do not wish to have done regardless.

I have refused treatment on numerous occassions and there is nothing they can do about it
