What was the major improvement in the range of US Civil War artillery compared to that of Napoleon era cannon?
Taking into consideration only the field artillery, the longest cannon range of the Napoleonic era was of 1,800 meters, reached by a 12 pound smoothbore gun (caliber 121 millimeters) firing with its maximum elevation.
When the Civil War broke out, the Union had at disposal the 3 inches gun and the Parrot's 10 pound gun, both rifled, whose ranges went beyond 4 kilometers. But the maximum range was that of over 10 kilometers, reached by Parrot's rifled siege cannons of 100, 200 and 300 pounds.

How did Napoleon's battle strategy work against him?
Napoleon's battle strategy revolved around three axises: Heavy firepower via the cannon (keep in mind that he originally served in the artillery as a junior officer), flanking maneuvers (cavalry and infantry with fixed bayonet), and maintaining constant, consistent initiative. His reliance on massed artillery formations was a constant Achilles heel, and one that precious few ever had the opportunity and/or the insight to take advantage of. In the Battle of Waterloo, for instance, it was Lord Wellington of England that had both, and took advantage of cannon's vulnerability to being flanked, thereby crippling Napoleon's army.
